Fantastic! Merry Christmas to you!

This is our favorite using jalapeño pimento cheese.

I'm sure it could be even better if you subbed the Red Lobster biscuit mix.


Making it now. Thanks!
Taco smell is over-priced garbage. I'd rather hit up a real Mexican food truck.

All fast food/chain pizza places are terrible to me now compared to when I was growing up……..don’t know if the quality has gone down or my tastes have gone up. Pretty sure the answer is both.


Domino's is actually better. They changed their cardboard crust recipe and sauce recipes a few years back and it was a big improvement.

Skip the tube and get yourself a Smokai instead, baw. You can thank me later.
Fries for their versatility: shoestring fries, regular cut fries, waffle fries, crinkle fries, spiral fries, steak fries, home fries, sweet potato fries, etc

And then move it up several places. Thai should be top 5 on any list.

I would be good sitting around $5.75 and then holding while we wait for production.


People been talking about this elusive "holding" thing for years now....

Well, they don't taste any different but they are less messy to deal with without having boiling liquid left in many of the shells to drip on you when eating them.


This why you put the whole shell in your mouth, crack it with your teeth and suck out the juice before you eat the nuts and spit out the empty shell halves.

ETA: another post made me remember, one of the beast buffets as a kid that I feel like was very cheap was the Pizza Hut buffet. Few things better to start the weekend as a kid than the Pizza Hut buffet on friday night.


The Shoney's in my hometown had a late night breakfast buffet on Friday nights. It was money after a night of drinking.

Now a good breakfast buffet is $25 and a dinner buffet is $50+.


The one I mentioned is $48, but it includes champagne. They also have a seafood buffet on Friday nights for $55.
Sunday brunch at the Grove Park Inn, Asheville, NC
IDK. What is their rating?
Well, at least I don't have to make a sell or hold decision today

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Been doing the same for years.


Environmentalists!
I have some All-Clad non-stick pans I got at Costco. They do pretty well, especially if you use a lot of butter.
I've been happy with the same set of Wusthof-Trident knives for the last 28 years and they're still going strong. I have the Grand Prix set. Prefer it over the others because the contoured handles are comfortable. They won't break the bank either.

I've been real happy with the walnut board from Sonder I bought off Amazon. Not cheap but they look great on the counter. Boos is another good brand you could look at.
The only one I know of around here (Sushi Kingdom) will charge you extra for food you order but don't eat.
