Just tell the flight attendant (in a really loud voice) that you have IBS and the quinoa will tear up your stomach. Make sure you really sell it with the poop face.

 
I agree that asking for a special meal is the best of the meals you can get from them, but its still airplane food.  That’s like saying “Oh, good!  I’ve got syphilis, the best of the sexually transmitted diseases.”

I've had some great airplane food. :shrug:  Complaining about airplane food sounds like an ancient Seinfeld bit.

Excellent suggestions but I'm old AF and having booze this early will wreck me for the rest of the day.

You're not that old. Aren't you solidly in the middle,age wise, of all of us?   

I loved bmore when I was there, but it was years ago.  We stayed on federal hill, fells point has a ridiculous amount of bars and was very fun, I was VERY drunk most of the time. Camden yards is awesome. And crabs. Shark move, profess ignorance and lack of skill in deshelling the crabs, have girl(guy in your case?) next to you shell them for you.  Sleep with them later if you want...not the crabs

I always used to get a vegetarian meal for this reason, but the Delta food has improved significantly the past few years.  Except the quinoa.

seems like I remember you coming up on the wrong end of quinoa roulette before.   why risk it?

Oh yeah.  Delta went through something a few months ago where they had only healthy stuff.  Think that lasted about a week; everyone hated it.

I'm just a high-risk, high-reward kinda gal.  Two weeks ago I had a fantastic steak going one way and a super-tasty meatball/pasta dish the other way.  Better than the vegetarian would have been.  Go big or go home.

This is terrifying:

FIRST COMES THE unscratchable itching, and the angry blossoming of hives. Then stomach cramping, and—for the unluckiest few—difficulty breathing, passing out, and even death. In the last decade and a half, thousands of previously protein-loving Americans have developed a dangerous allergy to meat. And they all have one thing in common: the lone star tick.

Red meat, you might be surprised to know, isn’t totally sugar-free. It contains a few protein-linked saccharides, including one called galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, or alpha-gal, for short. More and more people are learning this the hard way, when they suddenly develop a life-threatening allergy to that pesky sugar molecule after a tick bite.

Chicago. i heard someone say recently "when you hear people say 'Chicago is so dangerous', they mean Englewood, not Chicago."  if you hear about bad #### that happened in Chicago, good chance it happened there. 

how i know them is not really much of story :shrug:

Ah, OK.  I just google-mapped Englewood Wisconsin and was quite confused.

If you're on a flight and the sky waitress gets to your row and says to you and your seatmate, "For breakfast we have only one egg dish left, and the other option is a quinoa oatmeal," do you:

A.  Ask your seatmate if he/she has a preference and hope that you can come to a mutually agreeable outcome.

OR

2.  Blurt out, "I'll take the eggs!" as quickly as possible to avoid the quinoa crap.

A

2 because once you board a plane it's pretty much Lord of the Flies, but how are you making this rookie move?  Always order some special meal based on some imaginary dietary restriction when you book.   They're always better.

I've ordered about a dozen Kosher meals in my life and at least 10 of them have been on an airplane

 
Krista, this joint used to be awesome but it's been several years since I've been there so I don't know if it still is. That cast iron crab cake was/is fantastic.

Not sure where you're staying, but it's in Fells Point

A&W root beer pop tarts do not sound appealing to me.

Great freaking posting.  I like root beer.  I like pop tarts.  This sounds awful.

say... this reminds me. at one point in life, I decided that a root beer float must have its origins in a beer float. so I made myself a beer float.

it was not good, in spite of the weed. I might have had the origins of the root beer float down wrong... just felt like I should lay that out there.

Was in Baltimore last summer, stayed at the Hilton Garden Inner Harbor in (near Fell's Point). Little Italy was within walking distance and ate at Joe Benny's Focacceria...Fantastic little place awesome meatballs and focaccia.  .  Also went to the Horse You Came in On Saloon - Edgar Allen Poe's last stop before his death, i thought this would be a much cooler place, but it wasn't.  Also ate at Riptide by the Bay...it was meh...probably 10 or more places that are much better that UH can point out

as a beer nerd who has never ever been able to choke down beer within hours of eating ice cream, or having any milk, i can't fathom how ####ty this must taste.

but i know a handful of fellow beer nerds who swear they are the greatest thing ever.

i think it depends on your level of alcoholism

I was high to the point where I thought this was a good idea... so should've been high enough to enjoy just about anything. this was not in that category.

Man, so much has changed since I hung out there a lot.... 

Rusty Scupper used to be really solid, though a tad touristy (hell, I guess anything downtown is touristy nowadays). Most of the hole-in-the-wall jewels I knew were in the outlying neighborhoods like Dundalk, Essex, and Arbutus.

Hotel concierge ought to be able to steer krista right, as well as bartenders.

For me, it's more about eating anything sweet with beer - no matter the order - than ice cream being dairy.

 
when did the Mark Cubanization of speech really take hold?

it's everywhere in my corner of the business world.... seems to be most prominent among younger people but definitely hearing it way too much.

it's the manner of making a statement and ending it with "right?".

we're talking about a guy who is a billionaire, right? he owns his own NBA team, right? he clearly knows what he's doing and he's changing America, right? so why not follow his lead?

There was a while when I would have a beer or two and then have a soda  I would get cramps so bad I thought I was giving birth.

I stopped drinking soda.

 
I've been depressed.  Does anyone have any good news to share?  YSR's dad's parking space working out well?  GM get any good butters at Rite Aid?  Anything?
