    Maybe just an off night/dish? I've had it many times, and in the ~20 minutes between when they plate it, it comes to me, and I eat it, the stew is not enough to stop the tadiq from still being crunchy to the last bite.

    Now upgraded to a minimum of weeks. Burst pipe overnight flooded the place out.

    Yeah, the lactation/nursing/OB fields have long known about the Nestle connection in third world countries. It's been going on for like 30 years.

    I've been to the Rockville location now 4 times in the last couple of months. This is my favorite fast casual place around, easily. Regular combo platter with lettuce, tomato, onions, peppers, and olives. Lots of white sauce, a little bit of BBQ sauce, one stripe of hot sauce.

    His tweet makes no sense - someone who is in poverty should be encouraged to nurse (FREE), rather than spend money they don't have on formula. And the resolution doesn't say that formula shouldn't be available, just that the government should devote resources to educating expectant mothers that nursing is superior in most cases. Which destroys the other half of his argument. My ex is a lactation consultant, and the entire profession is aghast. This one is a no-brainer to support.

    NotQuickDraw and agm are the ones that have historically brought the Caja China and done whole animal BBQ, but they're not available on our date this year. It's easy to get around the heat thing for cold dishes - just put the bowl of whatever in a larger bowl with a layer of ice in between. There's usually plenty of ice around for refilling if needed. And proteins rarely last long enough to worry.

    Here's the standings after this morning's games: Real Madrid 9 Barcelona 9 Tottenham 8 Manchester United 6 Atletico Madrid 5 Spurs need some help to stay level in the first round. I don't think it will come from Kane today - England really wants to lose the game if at all possible. But they have 3 on Belgium and 4 on England, so who knows.
  9. DanielK
    Only 7 so far!

    Germany earned their loss. They never looked dangerous in the attacking third. * Spurs are now the leading scoring team at the WC with 8: Kane (5, England), Son (2, Korea), Eriksen (1, Denmark) * Yes, I know this isn't a stat that's tracked. Just some fannish pride.

    Awesome! Assuming my CSA delivers some tomatoes that week, I will bring some as well, along with some fun salts to taste on the tomatoes. Anyone have some good olive oils to bring?

    My bracket is perfect through C, but will fall with D. I have Argentina 1 and Croatia 2, which can't happen, but we'll see if we get those two reversed.

    That could be fun, and I wouldn't mind stopping at La Limena and/or Crisp & Juicy. However, to me, this style of chicken degrades rapidly once it goes into the takeout container, and we'd be tasting probably an hour or longer after they're bought, so it would hardly be a definitive comparo.

    Group B is crazy - right now Spain is in first place in the group over Portugal because of LESS YELLOW CARDS. If they have identical results on the 25th, that will be the tiebreaker. Insane.

    I once saw Living Colour at the Birchmere. You could tell on their faces that they couldn't figure out why the audience was so sedate. I told them at the meet&greet after that it was a "seated show", and all of a sudden lightbulbs went off. KN is right - they should be embarrassed to serve that food, and CHARGE FOR TAP WATER.

    Anyone want to join my bracket game? https://bracket2018.mlssoccer.com/#league/standings/3937?code=P5VLZDRH

    After a number of visits where the spicy were just kinda spicy, my last two visits to the Rockville location they are again SPICY.

    (Plus me. It took two of us 15 minutes to hack open that freaking egg.)

    Nope. Astrid makes their own blend of cherries soaked in whisky, and it is fabulous.
  20. DanielK
    Oh, hell yes on the cherry whisky!

    I am definitely in, +3. We will bring some kind of baked goods (my wife's specialty), and some kind of protein/green veggie dish, which will completely depend on what shows up in my CSA bag that week. I also have the "traveling box of DR picnic supplies", which includes pens, nametags, several reusable tablecloths, plus plenty of napkins, silverware, plastic/paper cups. I will do a complete inventory closer to the date to see if we need any paper goods at all to be supplemented. Would also like someone to take ownership of the box after this picnic, as we are doing a big cleanup project in my garage in anticipation of selling the house in a year or so.

    We're still 6 weeks out. People may not have populated the spreadsheet linked above, but it seems to me that at least 9 people have indicated in this topic that they are coming, and I know of a few others that haven't signed off in the topic that are planning on coming.

    There's skill with a cleaver, and then there's indifference. A skilled cook can quickly hack chicken using a cleaver into edible pieces.

    Why it warms my heart that Tom Power had the foresight to buy the two properties that Corduroy and Baby Wale reside in.

    So, there's 3 ways to serve chicken with bones in: Whole pieces of chicken in the traditional butchering (wing, breast, etc.) - not seen often in East Asian restaurants Chopped by a cook that knows what they're doing (a good Chinese restaurant) Chopped by a cook that doesn't care, where you get splinters of bones everywhere and some pieces that are inedible because you can't get to the meat I haven't had the dish in question at Big Wang before, but if it's 3. rather than 2., I can understand the sentiment.
