I love fish. Anchovies not so much. I love pizza, not doing that to my pizza.

Not putting a stinky fish on this lovely.

I don't put them on every slice I eat. I mix it up a bit.

Ahh the auto correct wizard strikes again. Well done.

We should be thankful the errors are not as bad.
Can you imagine if there were damnautocorrect dot com's level errors?

Hubby's site (which I will help open) is set for May 9th.
My site is set for the 23rd.

Do not record these dates in pen! Trust me.

theres always delays I presume?

No, Doubletree is home to the wondrous Chocolate Chip Cookies. Portifino the home to the wondrous views.\

\

exactly, not the same.
I was talking about if it was worth the view from Doubletree to Universal.

I suppose I will see more of the highway than the attractions.

 

[Cesar R M]

Cesar, you take excellent pictures!!! These are GREAT!

thanks!
like I said, I'm a photo opportunist.
if there is an opportunity and my camera gear is close.. I will take it :>

Ew . . . my father used to LOVE anchovies, but I always thought they were salty and just vile. Must be an acquired taste??

Yes, they are very salty.

But then, I indirectly love them because they're one of the prime flavors that make the César Salad.

My happy, happy ham, just before going into the oven.

RIP ham, we barely knew you.

Musta' been a while back, 'cause our DQ's down here have been doin' it for years.

When I used to spend my summers as a kid in Niagara Falls, we (sister, cousins, friends) would always swim at the pool at my grandfather's hotel and then go next door to the DQ for a blizzard and a burger. I always thought the food at the DQ's in Canada were better, but the blizzards are better down here.

I have been known to have a can or two of DoubleTree cookies on my desk.

No thank you. We can give the Anchovies to @donaldtoo

Waiting for the lots splits for Hubby's site - ie) Which Builder gets which parcel of lots.
Then it's just a matter of putting the site plan together. Given that it's a Ph. II of an existing project, the renderings and brochure booklets are already done.

My site - we're waiting for Draft Plan Approval ie) The Municipality's kiss on the forehead telling us to proceed.
Then we still have to do the site plan, finalize renderings, and print all brochures and merchandising.

It's going to be a pretty far drive for me - the previous drive of an hour, plus 15-20 minutes more.
Good thing baseball season starts on Monday! At least I'll have something to listen to driving home.

Also, the Boss is being cagey about who my partner is going to be.

 

[JenniferS]

Ewwww. Why you try to spoil my appetite?

 

[donaldtoo]

I saw that one really funny!

Hahaaa...!
Youngest DD actually fell for it!
She walked in last night (yes, last night - two days later), saw me on here, and asked if it was true. I just turned to her like this and she said "Carp! They got me!"...!!!

If you were me, would you cancel your DoubleTree Suites DTD reservation and stay at Pop Century if price increase (room + parking as DT charges for parking) was about $10 a night. Or would you stay with the doubletree?

I don't think Thanksgiving has been shut down anywhere for quite a few years. Black Friday shouldn't start before 3am!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Around here, some of it's been starting at 8p Thanksgiving Day...

Not overly crazy about fish. Not at all crazy about anchovies. Not so crazy about pizza either. You can have my share of all three.

Pizza? Yes please. Anchovies? Yum. Fish?

 

[Goofyernmost]

Guess I must be a really good Catholic. LOL I never eat meat

Not anymore, it now is nothing more then tradition. No one is counting on it to help out the fishermen. But, if it does have some significance, I'm sure you have a reserved parking space in Heaven.

I'm a grown man yet my mom still gets me a easter basket every year.

I'm an old man and I still get a box of Chocolate Covered Cherries from my Mother on Christmas. The creepy thing is that she passed away 10 years ago. The UPS cost on that one must be huge.

I first had 'em on a pizza when I was a kiddo way back in the day in NoCal. Liked 'em right away.
