@catmom I see you are Compliance Administrator. Curious to what type of business. My DD deals with compliance everyday at her University that she works for.

I work at a nonprofit research institute, so I deal with organizational and financial conflict of interest compliance. So exciting.

 

[Cesar R M]

Me too. I choose chips over chocolate.

 

[Cesar R M]

No, not at all...

HAH! reminds me of that discovery channel guy, who had his giant buffalo pet.
And he loved beers.
The guy took the buffalo with a big car to the bar.

 

[Cesar R M]

Scrape the plate please. What is in the glass?

Its like a soup, made of boiled shrimp, octopus, snail, scallops with tomato paste, spices.
some put finely sliced tomatoes, onion and avocado.

They spice it up with lemon, ketchup sauce and spicy sauce to complement.

 

[Cesar R M]

Yep, oysters, well just never happening.

the oysters are an addon, they are not in the usual campechana or cocktail.

@StarWarsGirl95 these are the lunchbags I ordered for my DD. They fold flat and are surrounded in freeze gel. You pop one in the freezer over night and then pop your lunch in them in the morning, stays cold all day. They are sold in 2 packs so one is always frozen. Best thing ever!

 

[Cesar R M]

Who does that?
I've never experienced that before.

cheap restaurants do it to make the avocado "rinse" more.
Also to prevent it from going dark too fast. That gives them excuse to use not so fresh avocado (or to keep the guacamole for more than 12 hours)


Good restaurants make the guacamole at the time. anything more than 1 hour out of the fridge.. the avocado will turn dark, with an awful texture and need to be trashed.

Good sentence.

 

[Cesar R M]

I tried to find a good video, but it's late...

Bartender: We don't have no beer, just tequila.
Ned: What's tequila?
Bartender: ...It's like beer...
Dusty: Is it fattening?
Bartender: ...Fat-ten-ing?

who the hell says that tequila is like beer?

 

[Cesar R M]

There are plastic beer bottles of Dos Equis' in my basement, ya in?
\

big paaaaass.. dos equis is really un popular in Mexico.
They have this..sorta "cheap" feeling on them.

Which is funny, as the CORONA is cheaper most of the time.
People who wnat something stronger, will always try the MODELO or INDIO.

Red Solo cups?

I'm going to the morning showing of Inside Out, so I'm going to pretend I'm going to sleep. See ya real soon if that doesn't work out. So tired but wide awake. Hate that. I think my adrenaline got going with the storms.

All I can say is ew.

Cultural, shmultural. I'm Chinese and I think it's barbaric, atrocious, and I'm ashamed of that aspect of my ancestry! Well, there's actually quite a bit that I'm not proud of...

well, speaking of cultural things..
I remember reading there is a huge uproar online right now.
Because its the Dog food day in china or something.. a festival where they.. kill, cook and eat dog.

Its very sad to see these scared dogs in very tiny cages, all packed and unable to move..

Try to get some rest and enjoy the show!

Oh, I thought it was Koreans who ate dogs. Ugh, now I have something else to be ashamed of! This is one of the reasons why I don't want to visit my "homeland".

Although apparently there are 11 countries that still eat dogs, including Mexico…and Switzerland?!?!?!

OK, I'd rather talk about beer now. Modelo is one of my favorites!

 

[JenniferS]

no love for octopus?

None.

 

[englanddg]

None.

The appetizer at Coral Reef is really quite tasty.

I may just pop in and get that...if they'll let me in just to have an app and leave!

Hard Rock, PF Chang's, Cheesecake Factory, maybe Outback ....

Yes, I am aware.

Keep in mind, we don't eat out very much at home, so it's rare for us to eat at any of these places. I've never been to Hard Rock at Baltimore, and I've only been to our local Cheesecake Factory twice and PF Chang's once.

We're doing some local places as well. But these are within walking distance, so for now, convenience wins. With me having food allergies, the bigger chains are usually more aware of what they are doing as well. We went to this local place a few years ago, and they had zero clue what they were doing. I'd rather not have to hit myself with the epi pen while here.
