Oh.I didn't realize they forgot how to cook good food as they moved further away from the border. That makes sense.Does this apply to other types of food as well?

Yes. Olive Gardens are terrible here in California. The more eastward you head the better they get. It's the opposite with Chinese food.

If by terrible, you mean awesome then I agree

Almost as bad as that German/Chinese place I heard about.The food is great, but 30 minutes later, you're hungry for power.

I doubt Tanner will recall this because I was/am so lame, but he fished me so hard I still blush thinking about it. Don't know how it started, but somehow it got to "did Elvis get trashed more after death than R Kelly in the tabloids?" That had to be ten years ago, maybe. It's second only to my falling for "Jerry Rice doesn't belong in the HOF". Jesus - it's a wonder I don't have freeways in each of my cheeks.

This place is goodish and the locals rave about it. But my dad smoked a brisket when my in-laws were in town that was much better than the brisket I had here. But my dad has had 50 years of Texas living to perfect his smoked brisket and despite the fact that he can't cook anything more than scrambled eggs and hot dogs, the man can absolutely crush a smoked brisket.

This drifter guy figures stuff out quickly. Aside from these two, your best option is probably food trucks. There's a couple around that are way better than any of the local mexican restaurants.Cactus and Peso'sPlease find me edible mexican food and report back. Thanks.That's because you live in the sticks. Couple decent BBQ places in Seattle and great food in general.I'll 2nd Oregon though, I got a pulled pork sandwich at the Saturday river hippy fest thing and it was awfulxii. Washington. Food in general sucks here (other than seafood, which is generally excellent). There is one decent BBQ place about 15 miles and a bridge toll from my house. That and Famous Daves, about 10 miles away.'commisholio said:f.

With all the movies that have been remade, and The Great Garsby coming out, why don't they make a new Moby **** movie. It could be pretty epic.

I honestly don't recall either. The jerry rice one sounds plausible. Not sure about Elvis. I don't think I started posting here until 04.

No. Almost everything I've read says dethatching isn't all that great so I've never tried it, and core aerating is supposed to be just at good at ridding thatch and has other benefits. With that said, I'm curious about the results, as I seem to have a lot of thatch.
About 30 for me. Age 33 I attempted to build my own putting green...

OUT THE CHEATING MOD.
We ate at a poboy food truck in downtown that was ####### incredible. My judgement may have been heavily influenced by substances though. 
I'm holding out hope I can acquire a certain qb from Denver that made that funny "cut that meat" ad a few years ago...lol

Wanted to get this out of the way now because I'll be one-eyeing-it before noon tomorrow.

Not a Dead fan either, but Bill Kreutzmann is awesome. Lives on Kauai and met him at an open bar at some wedding a few years back, buddy knew him. We never left the bar, guy was hilarious. Anyway, word had spread that Bill was going to get on drums and everybody was all fired up about it. When the time came, and the band does this big introduction about their "surprise" guest, there was Bill, on the top of a picnic table in the tent... flat on his back.It's OK; I hate them too.
The band played on, people tried to wake him now and then but it never happened. I remember leaving, we were one of the last ones there, bride n groom long since gone and the band was clearing out... And there's Bill, still flat on his back, passed out on the top of that picnic table. Guy never moved an inch. And nobody thought twice about it. So great.

I have a theory on this and I'm not sure it's a good one. I think that the water tastes differently north of south. Mexican food just tastes differently in the NW than it does in Texas. I don't think there's any secret techniques or ingredients in Texas or San Diego that can't be duplicated up north, but something is off. Beans should cook in water, I think. Dry beans need to be rehydrated and should simmer, no? If they do that in Texas water and they do that in Oregon water, might there possibly be a difference in taste?I still think there are good Mexican joints up here. I can get great fish tacos and burritos, but your run of the mill Mexican joint here is not on par with an average joint in Texas. Overly filling and not in a good way.
And the names of the joints up here make me laugh..."Si, Senor"..."Muchos Gracias"...Could you imagine opening up a restaurant in Mexico and calling it "Yes, Mister" or "Thank you very much"?

You don't think I have real live neighbors who also know I'm hopeless and tell me what to do? My grass was recently aerated and it needs to be thatched and overseeded. It was horrendous shape when I moved in :nonangry:. I have a neighbor named Arthur who is very nice, but always up in my kitchen telling me what I need to do and how I should do it, which is good because I need direction, but bad because he talks endlessly and has a nasty habit of just farting at will without so much as acknowledging the fact that he's letting them go in casual conversation like geese honking in the background. Anyhow, thanks for the yard tips, Scotts.'General Malaise said:
