Garrett was our favorite stop on the food tour!

Are you willing to share the curated list? 🤞🏻

Ha! Haven’t thought about that in awhile… you’re absolutely right! My Livejournal is now old enough to get drinks. Yikes.

New England, at least. BFE is half the state of Maine, but also the furthest spots in the Hannaford parking lot.

I was 14 at the time, my memories of the Ice Storm of '98 are similar!

Yes! A real eye opener for me!

Same!

Putting on makeup in public; specifically thought of refreshing lipstick at the table in a restaurant while waiting for the check.

You have to roll forward and reconcile the fixed assets every month or you will spend days catching up at year end, invariably finding a prior period issue that has to be corrected in the current period.

I was warned, but trusted the system too much - it can’t regulate human error, no matter how many controls are in place!

And then leave it in the front of the parking spot, where you can’t see it until you’ve committed to pulling in. Forcing you to back out, gesturing towards the windshield to communicate to the guy that was waiting for you to pull all the way in (who now has to stop to let you out and know you’ll beat him to another spot since you’re in front) that some jackass left a cart in the spot and it’s not your fault!!

If there are three legs, and one is a different height, the table won’t wobble but the top will be slanted. Probably still not ideal at a coffee shop, but at least it won’t move!

Sometimes I think the highest regarded dishes are about the way they look rather than the process, execution, or the taste. The more I learn to cook, the more I appreciate the nuance of each step!

Thank you!

Very good! The cookie itself was pillowy and the lemon tartness was mild. Rather than plopping from a spoon I quickly rolled them into 1/2" balls.

The slight sweetness of the chocolate ganache contrasted with the lemon, I liked it as a dessert cookie. The lemon glaze emphasized the lemon in the cookie and was very bright!

Thank you!

You have a very interesting phone collection and I appreciate you sharing! Unlocked memories I didn’t even know I had! 😃

Why reheat?

Switching the hot breakfast for a cold one is a bold move!

Now we will have the “beastlykings” weekday breakfast at my house. I appreciate you!!

I’m struggling with the “little to no preparation required” part, I can see prep the night before for everything but the avocado and toast. Any tips to avoid cold hard bread and brown slimy avocado?
