  1. I always loved shellfish, tried sashimi once the first was mahi-mahi that used to be cheap like that good orange roughy and I loved it. The fish and rice stuff were alright but that darn kelp was gross and I couldn't get past it with the tuna roll-up either. Tabasco couldn't/wouldn't fix that green stuff!
  2. Love `em!, just can't risk those anymore. I'll not give up red meat or caffeine, have some bourbon occasionally in small amounts (shot), chocolate sometimes too. But since I got my new filter (liver) I had to give up raw oysters. I've only had shrimp a handful of times when I could smell it prior to steaming then prepare it myself. I miss scallops more though. A 20# rib roast qualifies here!!
  3. When certain peoples demand things they get them. There are more foreigners here than there are originals, so it makes sense I'm seeing the international aisle get bigger. Now the raw fish and the seaweed...... they can keep that!
  4. Something for my brother, they're coming up today. Supposed higher Scoville rating than the regular green ja--p---s but these ripe ones are sweet like a red bell pepper, not as hot as regular ****. They're good with white sharp cheddar, probably in cornbread too. **** and serranos done right are as far as I go with the scoville scale. Took a bite out of a tiny orange pumpkin a friend brought to me at work one day, it was on a bet, I got the $20 but needed lots of salt and it burned the next morning. Hab-free zone here! ++ We just made some quesadillas for dessert and not sure how but these are hotter than even the green with a carrot and onion slice in them! Must have had a few duds at the top of the jar when I opened it yesterday
  5. Ahhh, @KungFuNat you have mastered patience grasshopper, congrats. Now if you were only closer.....
  6. Got another turkey in that blasted oven, watching it like a hawk, it wants to do 350 and I want 325. Is Dacor any good?, their 27" is less than Viking more than Thermador. Don't know who to trust, I grew up trusting sears for appliances, even after the diehard debacle of the early 80s. Now I trust Interstate batteries, whirl-cesspool is banned from this house after the awful gas stovetop and latest oven. LG has the laundry and refrigeration now 🤞 hope they stay good for at least a decade. Ha!
  7. Dean is a close second in my book: ** not comparing vocal abilities here, but my favorite versions of carols.
  8. Sunrise, sunsets - always have a different "feel" over water. Watched sunrises over the Atlantic many times, or storms approaching with lightning seeming to skitter over the water like a pebble. Those views you show from your perch a few feet higher with the terracotta roofs and palm trees at the forefront are nice. @Shiva it reminds me of FL except for the elevation, looks warm too when it's in the 30s here!

    The Other Discs

    For my hurricanes that are downgraded to a thunderstorm yet another year. Again several very good players, several very hard working young guys, a couple of future stars, Andre Svechnikov will be a superstar. Got one that I noticed was missing from my LPs after not having a working turntable for a long time. One of the better tunes on it is titled "Everything Is Broken" yep that is this heartburned fan's disposition of my team yet again. Late 80s Dylan - NM - M made in Japan: The disc is Mint, this is one of those releases that it's hard to find the videos for but I found one that's indicative of this release. Plop Plop, Fizz Fizz

    Literally?? Good God that is insane! They were $3.00 each back then when lemmon quit making them. You could have gotten wealthy with the proper connections. This is pretty heavy, these guys loved to rock Nicklebag: If you're basically a rocker, the rest of this LP is even better including one they played on FM (after dark of course).
  15. The big chunky ATI for power and the tubed pre to condition the sound. I ended up with very good results here doing that for my phono. Glad you're that pleased with them, I can imagine the soundstage is way different than what I can appreciate here. They're as fascinating as they are aesthetically pleasing.

    That's an antique Mike! I question its efficacy. How in the heck do you have that since more than 30 years ago. Figured you were a wild-a$$ back then if you were still sportin' a mohawk recently!
  17. Well the mural shows he's playing at home so my thinking was he got away with that one.

    Winding down, long few days here. This came out back when I was having a rough time staying alive. It's easy going, he's got a nice voice, some good tunes and a lot more recordings but I've got this one and it gave me strength more than once.

    yea that would match a 714 any day, but how would you consume all that?

    Sade's got one of those voices that I call an instrument, beautiful and she could control it well too!
  22. Depends on who's home game it was. How many times are the refs not calling things now a days... unless it's the away team!
  23. Another great shot @JL Sargent! 24 just dominated 23 Did he get the points?
