  1. ask the East India Company
  2. Can I announce that I am from the internet and receive privileges? The LeLaurie Mansion is one of the niece's must-see attractions
  3. Taking our niece to New Orleans Louisiana in a couple of weeks to celebrate her recent matriculation from college. It’s her first time so we’re doing more tourist stuff than usual - voodoo tour, ghost tour. Sunday night reservation at Commander’s (surprisingly, I have never been), Monday night probably a port of call burger (rip yo mama’s), tuesday tentative for Compere Lapin. We ate there last trip and it was finominle. Good enough to go back, but I am willing to take a swing on something else if anyone has had their mind blown by a meal in the Crescent City latelyi Targeting Cochon Butcher, LPG for lunch. BreakfastsTBD. Staying in Garden District
  4. Fantastic film with a turrible script. I've had "I Can Dream About You" stuck in my head for a while because it's on the in-store loop at HEB. Love this movie. It's a shame it bombed and the Tom Cody trilogy never got made.
  5. If they're going to have an Asian Bond, he should be Desi
  6. Been a fan of the theatrical release for a long time (owned it on VHS!). I wasn't aware of all the drama surrounding the production and the firing of the director, Brian Helgeland. He was later able to release the director's cut which has some significant narrative and stylistic departures from the theatrical release. Can't say it improved an already great film, but it's worth a watch. It's on Amazon Prime presently
  7. Great movie.
  8. Beef fajita party pack for one, mixed torts, refried beans, extra guac instead of rice. Monday night staple from Mr. Tiempo for ~$30 easily feeds 2. At 290 location they often give you the big queso...
  9. I rented a Ricoh GRIII for our recent trip to Italy.
  10. we saw them doing some sort of kick off event in one of the Piazzas in Florence and I was utterly perplexed. This explains
  11. We have just returned from our trip. I am going to need a few days to collect my thoughts, but suffice it to say we had a wonderful time. 2 full days in Florence, long weekend in Rome (with palm sunday at Ninfa Gardens/Sicily-Rome American Cemetery/Anzio), and 4.5 days in Napoli. More to come as I curate the 1600 photos. Napoli was as incredible as I’d hoped. If you are only stopping through en route to Amalfi/Capri etc/points furthet south, you are missing out. We booked a food tour through Culinary Backstreets that I can’t speak highly enough about. I will gladly seek out their offerings in other cities, and wouldn’t balk at doing the tour in Napoli again. Pos rep to PW for some solid recs. The margherita at 50 Kalo on our pilgrim route to Virgil’s Tomb was a masterpiece of simplicity that will live in my dreams until I die. Butter chicken at Sostanza in Florence will be something I feebly attempt to recreate for the rest of my days. Lmk if any of you assholes has an olive grove I could use a steaming hot cup of octopus broth right about now.
  12. We visited Escorial and Segovia. Both were great. In Madrid, I recommend the Museo de las Americas. It's basically all of the plundered antiquities of the new world. And a very enlightening exhibit on race-mixing. And shrunken heads
  13. prepping for Napoli
  14. casa paco pa pizza off the puerta del sol chocolateria san gines for churros & chocolate all of the other nameless places with croquetas y cervezas
