What’s on your mind?

We stopped at a small taco shack for some street tacos today. Everything on the outside menu was priced except for:

Guacamole……………MKT

That was a first.

Avocados have gone a little crazy. How much was the guac?

It didn’t think to ask since I wasn’t in the mood for guacamole. Next time I will.

I just called.:slightly_smiling_face: $6.75 for a 5-oz cup. Seems a little high for this area, but not unreasonable if you don’t feel like making your own with WM 92 cent largish avocados.

Yeah, not stratospheric, but more than I’d be willing to pay. The cheapest avocados around here are about $1.69 (and they go as high as $2.99 for organic).

Keep trying to engage on other threads but coming back to this small corner of the fish tank to hide. Hartersfamilydinnerdeadlobstersetc. Cringe. So grateful for this thread. Did u start it? If so thank you. Fun time at wegmans last night doing an expensive draft with cdc.
Cdc ordered a large pizza from Wegmans at the last minute. Felt great to take it easy but apparently I do not care that much for pesto on pizza. Not a peep out of me as I still managed to stuff down half a slice. I really really believe in not yucking peoples yum.
Next time I will say hold the pesto please though.
Hey I grabbed a nice cab so I was more than fine. Cdc is so going down when we play our decks on wed and he has no idea of what is in store for him. He let me draft the straight green deck of doom. It really is a god deck.
Tonight a bison burger fried in bacon fat. I will see if I want to add anything at all to it. Like a bun. Not much for gilding the lily.
Around this time last year I splurged on a big lobster roll at the rtm and learned I don’t like lobster rolls. I mean I ate it and all, it was pricey enough but really why not just eat the lobster meat plain and cool?
Love crab cakes but sauce on the side plz, which I might or might not have a spoonful of just to break up palate fatigue.
Keep getting notifications for Harter’s epic thread so stepping away for my own sanity. A gaming expression is “kill it with fire” No idea why this is coming to mind.

Burning question here :fire::fire: did you make sure the lobsters were cooked alive when you ordered your lobster roll? Just curious.

For all you Elvis fans out there.

I did not. I do have faith in mayo though. And the freshness at the rtm. Flavor was ok but certainly not off.
I will probably never buy another lobster roll again.
Way back in the day Acme had live lobsters in a tank. My mom would think nothing of buying two for a quick easy dinner. Guess who had to reach in and grab them and bag them? It was self service and sometimes the claws were not banded. Ulp. I had quick reflexes for sure.
I would sometimes point out the precooked refrigerated lobsters and my mom was like shut yo mouth. She told me that there was a good chance the lobsters were dead before being boiled.
I always listened to my mother.
One cold night I got the call. My dumas friend had hit a deer very near to our house. He was not sure it was dead or what to do?
I did what any normal person would do. I woke up my SO who went charging out into the chilly air with his hunting knife because he did not want to risk a gun shot. Not needed.
He hung the deer in our not exactly luxe garage and slit open it’s stomach and slit it’s throat.
I thought I could watch but then I heard the sound of the gasses being released from the deer’s stomach and decided to go inside.
My SO an experienced hunter explained later that those dead gasses build up fast.
My dumas deer slaying friend stayed to watch and I foolishly left our front door unlocked.
My friend, oh provider of venison thought it would be funny to set the deer’s heart on the footstool I was seated behind. Luckily for him there was a newspaper there.
Apparently I was supposed to freak out. Whatever.
Anyway we had plenty of venison that winter. I like it with red cabbage and brown gravy
My point? Who knows what killed the dead lobster and also corpses whether deer or lobster go south very quickly. So not worth getting sick over.
I ended up going out to lunch once with this guy named Ron. He had a table at a farmer’s market. Don’t ask. It was an all you can eat buffet back when they were good.
He would not touch the raw oysters because 40 years ago he got a bad oyster.
I was too polite to say so but just spit it out. That has happened to me no biggie. Raw oysters are so good.
Anyway thanks for asking.
Let us stop talkin’ falsely now. The hour is getting late

ha ha ha. Be careful what questions you ask me. Don’t feel obligated to read it all. To sum up people who think it’s ok to eat lobsters that died before facing the knife or the pot are being idiots but trust your source. I have been known to buy lobster tails from wegmans or costco.
I really trust costco.
