dino. posted:When we would drive to Georgia from South Florida, we'd see these little stands on the side of the roads, with farmers selling their own peaches, boiled peanuts, and those gorgeous tomatoes. My dad would always pull over, buy a boatload of peaches, or boiled peanuts, or tomatoes, and let us eat some right then and there, while talking to the farmer for a bit. I remember biting into a ripe, fragrant peach, and having the thing explode in my mouth. The juice would splash the top, sides, and back of my whole mouth, even with a small bite, and a bit would run down my hand. I can remember those peaches to this day. Oh, god. gently caress me. The only thing I liked better than the peach stands were the pecan stands, or the little pecan grove stores that had pecan everything. We'd bring napkins with us because those peaches were just so incredibly good we couldn't wait until we got them home where it was a bit less likely to pour all over your shirt. Lottery tickets and peaches, every weekend in summer.  E: Lavender sucks because it's way too strong. I get hay fever around it and the taste makes me think of the time I tried to drink my mom's perfume as a kid, on a far less terrible scale. Either I've had it made terribly wrong or it's just not for me.

I've had grey poupon and the stuff that comes in a yellow squirt bottle next to the heinz ketchup (I cannot for the life of me think of what brand that is). All I've had is lovely mustard, but it tastes so good. I am going to try that mustard. And I'll likely try that recipe too. Wroughtirony posted:Cookie dough. Cake batter. When are you PCSing back to civilization? If the military has it's way? Never.  But at least here I can get cool mexican food and there's always produce at the commissary. And it isn't full of mold or bugs or god knows what the hell that brownish greenish spot was that I spotted on a potato once.There are apples, oranges, strawberries, cucumber, zucchini, spinach and all sorts of other fresh things in my fridge and I've basically been living on them all week. It's outstanding. And you be quiet. Cake batter and cookie dough are totally sugar, not flour. (we need a :denial: )

Aramoro posted:I really have no problem with chain restaurants like Fridays, they do what they do, it's not great food generally (I've never been to a Fridays admittedly) but it's fair enough if you like that sort of thing. But people like this I want to punch in their stupid loving faces. You all the way to Ecuador and ate in a Friday's 4 times? I hope they then ate a badly prepared Ceviche and had their bowels destroyed as punishment. I.. suppose I could understand if they were there for like, 6 months or something. But I just know they weren't. That's just disappointing though. I know a vacation isn't you know, just food or anything like that, but.. god drat, you're in a really cool location! Go out and try stuff that's recommended to you! It's like while we were in the hotel waiting to get the gently caress out of Okinawa. Some folks were just getting there and were asking the hotel check-in staff where to eat. Every time they suggested a local place they asked if they had "burgers" or "steaks" or "chicken fingers".

My grandfather's shop would charge about $400-$800 for a radiator replacement, labor and all. Because labor is ungodly stupidly expensive and he's a total prick who loves to overcharge folks. There's no way in hell $3500 is just the radiator unless that comes with a free STD test in the morning, because god you'd be gettin' hosed.

bartolimu posted:A dry wedding reception is the worst thing. Not necessarily. Everyone was driving away from our wedding in pretty heavy traffic. We didn't have a drop to drink because we weren't going to be morally responsible for stupid people DUI'ing or whatever. Especially after a death in my husband's family involving drunk driving. So if your guests aren't going to be able to work off the alcohol or have a DD and they have a good ways to drive, it might even be for the better. dino. posted:Anyone who's having a wedding: tell your ministers to shut the gently caress up. Nobody's interested. Get to the readings, get to the vows, then SHUT UP ALREADY. A 30 minute long sermon, where you ramble on about stupid poo poo that nobody else cares about? Not loving cute. The rear end in a top hat doing mine tried this poo poo. About two minutes into it I smiled up at him, peeked under my veil and asked him if today was about him or if it was about me and my husband. Especially since we'd asked him to shut the gently caress up about religious poo poo entirely. He shut up, got done with the vows and I got to go hide for a while and settle down after having taken the wrong limo to my own wedding  I found out later that husband didn't tip him because the rear end in a top hat told him I was "an un-Godly woman" for interrupting a minister and that I'd never obey him like God intended and a bunch of other crazy poo poo. Husband said that was good, because he hates going to church and he wanted a wife, not a slave So yeah, gently caress pompous wedding ministers. And best of luck sizing your buddy.

Scientastic posted:What? Is Florida incredibly backwards, or is the lack of internet food-shopping America-wide? I live in a giant, sprawling city too (it's like 30 miles from one side of the whole "city area" to the other, maybe a little more) and the only things I can order online, locally, are pizza and chinese. 700,000+ people, too. Internet food-shopping is available in like, Orlando, FL, to some extent. Like, http://www.gardengrocer.com/?gclid=COrI85T-0LMCFWGnPAodWgoAvQ Garden Grocer exists, but it's more used for people visiting the theme parks than by people who live there. So I mean, it's out there here and there, but it's really rare.

How about chanting, homebrewed mead and rabbit stew? And planting a big ol community garden? (this rabbit stew smells amazing) In all seriousness, when did the church suddenly decide everyone had to go through that counseling stuff before they get married or they don't want to recognize the marriage or some such thing (correct me on that if I'm wrong please, I get mixed answers about that part)? My folks got married by a catholic priest in the 70's and they never did any of that, which has me wondering if like, it was just that priest or if they suddenly got super conservative about it or what.

Hawkgirl posted:Hello friends. Where do I eat delicious food on Maui and Oahu? I have never ever been to Hawaii and Hawkboy and I are going for our honeymoon. Go to Liliha Bakery early on some morning for breakfast. It's been years since I was down in Honolulu, but I'm told their pancakes are still to die for and their bakery items are pretty decent (everyone raves about the cocoa puffs). Go find a curry shop (Coco's Ichibanya or other, whatever smells awesome when you walk in, there's tons down there). Stop at some tiny shack near the beach that has pineapple and seafood and feast (you'll probably find that up towards north shore). Mr. Wiggles posted:Get saimin from the saimin cart. I know curbside soup in tje tropics may seem weird, but trust me. Do this too. And yeah, congratulations dude. If you end up hanging around Waikiki a lot, try to park somewhere like Ala Moana mall and take the little trollies around or walk. Driving is awful near any of the big touristy areas on Oahu.
