Let’s see: Make my own stock, duck, turkey, chicken, veal stock all in freezer now Make my own sourdough bread 2-3 times monthly from starter I created about 12 years ago Make my own pizza dough (some ready for tonight) and sauce too Make my own tomato sauce from summer garden, about 8 quarts in freezer now Pesto from the basil in the garden too Roast my own coffee beans Dry age primal cuts of prime beef, and occasionally ducks in dry aged locker in my garage. Occasionally brine brisket into corn beef, smoke some of that into pastrami Yes on canned pumpkin, and I buy Italian tomato paste.

But, but, Howdy Doody (Will Smith) is still so cure to watch. And is hitting well.

Of course even if you can’t resurrect a thread…you can cite/quote it in your new post. So older info can be referenced if necessary.

I have wonderful memories of Brogan. One long haired visit and a second with the shorter hair. A beautiful man both in appearance and in heart.

New pics in his RM ad from Lucas too.

On the other hand @marylander1940 how fresh and relevant are two year old posts about a provider? Especially if it’s already full of “bumps” and little first person information?

Sounds like grammar school:

Anyone have any experiences with Shaereynolds?

Yes of course we now know how Covid is transmitted. But there’s a perception among the public that touching is still an issue. Why is there still hand sanitizer everywhere you go? Reality or perception? Re: “chintzy” restaurants - half of all restaurants that closed during Covid will never reopen. The industry was hit very hard - especially restaurants that were dining room only, no pickup/drive thru. If your favorite restaurant is still open, be happy you can use a QR code and order at all! If indeed you choose not to patronize restaurants without regular menus that’s your choice, and perhaps your loss. Many of us here on the forum including myself and the fine gentlemen quoted above are from a bit if a different era. Restaurant dining has already changed dramatically and will continue to evolve. You can ignore it and skip dining experiences you used to enjoy, or get out those smart devices you take pics with with, text friends with, use to converse with providers, and snap a QR code and enjoy a meal! Edit to add link: QR code’s here to stay “The coronavirus pandemic ushered in the instantaneous, widespread use of QR codes, but restaurant industry experts think that the technology will stick around long after the health crisis ends.”

I mentioned Mark earlier in this thread…hands off he’s mine! 😂🤣

Where has restaurant workers wages gone up 120% over 2 years like in your example?

I’m surprised you don’t realize it’s more common now as a Covid precaution? More paper menus (and reduced menu items 😖) since RE-openings.

Has the cost of living gone down for these workers at increased minimum wage whose tips you now reduce?

@Epigonos I’m not aware of any CA minimum/living wage in the $20.00 range? I do know employers are required to report tip income to the IRS and contribute FICA/etc on this tip income, and maybe withhold taxes too. As someone associated with the biz, I tip generously - starting at 20% and up from there - unless service has been poor. Many employers are paying far higher than minimum nowadays due to current labor shortage. Signing bonuses are not unheard of in fast food chains!

Woo-Hoo go Blue!

See my post above, met Shawnn a couple weeks ago. Repeat planned in next couple weeks.

Go Blue! 😉 Although the Cardinals were my grandfather’s favorite team. He used to take vacation at World Series time to follow the series….even pre-TV days, radio only.

It gets better….I just noticed he had messaged me 4 hours later same day “I’ve lowered my rate back to the original amount…still interested?” 😂🤣

On this point I will agree with you 100%. Others will attest to the fact I routinely call posters out when they call providers “meat”, “fresh meat”, etc. these people are human beings first.

I’m sure you’ve read our terms of service here? Reminder we don’t do “reviews”. If someone posts something offensive or against the TOS, please report it.

Try, try again 😉 Oh my - LALatinPeach - Any info?

Warren Buffet as well.
