I'm not a fan of it either but if a community isn't large enough to have individual restaurants to cater to those cuisines, I'm not gonna get too mad.


Yeah same. Like I know that place is probably at least going to be B-tier at whatever they're actually good at and B-C tier at everything else, and that's fine when most areas are struggling to have more then a PF Changs or greasy spoon chinese place.

Truth.

I miss the Hong Kong Express on Artesia/Western. Thick rear end Lo Mein noodles Id just smother in sweet and sour, bbq pork/broccoli beef/teriyaki chicken, lemon garlic wings. Fast food Chinese but maaaaan it hits a spot. Best part it’s smack dab in the middle of some of the best Korean BBQ in the South Bay (Gardena). But I would take Hong Kong everytime hands down

I am now really annoyed that I did the financially responsible thing and only get cat food since my shrimp isn't defrosted yet so I can't make my original dinner. Left over black bean soup and heating up some chicken patties instead feels like a let down.

Cham Soot Gol is the best kbbq in that area imo. Tho in the east (San Gabriel Valley) my favorite is Gen in Alhambra specifically. Sure it's a chain but they do it right.

I'm tidying up my place with the X-Files on while I work. I've got episode 3, "Squeeze" on while I tidy up, and this exchange caught my ear:

MULDER: I think what we have to do is track Eugene Tooms, there's four down and one to go this year. If we don't get him right now, the next chance is in year.....

SCULLY: 2023.

I think it's unfair to compare Chinese to Thai. They may utilize somewhat similar ingredients but they're different cuisines. It's almost like going to a French restaurant and complaining it's not like Italian food, even though they are on the same continent.

If you want Thai food, you should get Thai food. If you want Chinese, get Chinese. If you're indecisive, maybe get American Chinese or American Thai food.

Years ago I was a bus boy at a Nigerian restaurant and we literally had a group of German tourists come in and then claim it wasn't "African food" because Nigeria doesn't use the flat bread that is common in Ethiopian food.

In shell? Just put it in a colander run cold water gently over it for like 10 minutes. That's what they do at the fish counter anyway, the shrimp all comes in frozen

Yeah last time our crew went up so see him, fantasy draft weekend, hit the strip that Saturday night (got me a few Cougars numbers), kept faking out the college kids by yelling “we got Molly here!” then paying the Uber driver with a 6 pack of beer. Oh and a beach bonfire with a few backpacks full of the rest of our booze. The best wake-up sunrise of my life, in a crappy Target fold out beach chair

Haha. Glad you had a great time there. sadly but not really sadly, last time I was in SB we didn't hit the beach at all. However we did day drink at the park while a wedding took place in the rose garden directly next to us. After their beautiful ceremony (which we probably ruined the video of with our music and yelling), the wedding party joined our pong queue. They didn't have red cups or balls but had lots of champagne. The bride was a beast and carried her husband. That was fun!

No, fully peeled. I know I can run under water in the colander but there's a tickle in my brain that prefers everything to defrost in the fridge. It tastes better.

The Flash was such a mess.

The CGI was bad. Like "Really? You doing that?" bad.

I try not to let outside forces affect how I watch movies but the whole situation with Ezra Miller IRL just kept me from enjoying watching him on-screen.

he already made them sign "I will do anything for this company or it will be considered my resignation" pledges

and of course the people who took him up on compensation for leaving when he first took over are now having to sue him because he never paid it out

and is he doing this on a building he still isn't paying rent for?

He’s wanted to name a company X for more than 30 years because his brain never developed past 12 years old. He got ran out of what became PayPal while on his honeymoon because he wouldn’t give up the idea.

Someone should find that kid who pushed him down the stairs when he was younger and let him finish the job
