I lived in Cincy 38 years, more than half my life, but I'm not really "from" there.  I'm from here, more or less.

I did not like the winters AT ALL.  And the summers were suffocatingly humid as well.

When I think chili I’m biased towards how Mexicans do their chili. The one time I went to Cincinnati and had their “chili” it’s as good enough a reason for me never to go back to Cincy. Limited spicing and too much plastic-y sour cream. At the Reds game they served Goldstar chili - yuck!

Cincinnati chili should never have sour cream, I've never seen it offered as an option.

Down to 35°F last night, but will be sunny today and very nice.  Somebody said something about cocktails and a party on TV, so I'll watch that I guess.

Does anybody here still call a drink a cocktail instead of a mixed drink, or whatever you call it?  I don't think the term is oft used in regular parlance.
How many times have you been to the WLOMDP?

One great thing about this country is how we have adopted all sorts of food items from other places, same with wine.  In France, a wine shop will be 95% French wines and a few from Italy and Germany.  Here we'll have entire sections for different countries and regions.
I agree that it is a great thing.
These days, some people claim that that is "stealing."

I attended the WLOCP.  It is terrific.  RRS gets the edge for me, but it's not like a booby prize to go to the WLOCP.

Btw: always use 'cocktail'.  A high ball is a glass for some cocktails.   I refer to mixers like club, tonic or 7 up but they are part of something else.

I believe the origin of a cocktail assumes a drink w/o ice or mixers.

Highball is the name for a family of mixed alcoholic drinks that are composed of an alcoholic base spirit and a larger proportion of a non-alcoholic mixer. Well-known examples of highballs include the Seven and Seven, Scotch and soda, rum and Coke, and Caipirinha. A highball is typically served over ice in a large straight-sided highball glass or Collins glass.

A cocktail is an alcoholic mixed drink, which is either a combination of spirits, or one or more spirits mixed with other ingredients such as fruit juice, flavored syrup, or cream. There are various types of cocktails, based on the number and kind of ingredients added. The origins of the cocktail are debated.

A cocktail can contain alcohol, a sugar, and a bitter/citrus. When a mixed drink contains only a distilled spirit and a mixer, such as soda or fruit juice, it is a highball. Many of the International Bartenders Association Official Cocktails are highballs. When a mixed drink contains only a distilled spirit and a liqueur, it is a duo, and when it adds a mixer, it is a trio. Additional ingredients may be sugar, honey, milk, cream, and various herbs.[2]

Cool NASA uniforms, but weird that UCF is wearing them.  Because they happen to be the nearest city of a decent size in Orlando?  Can Nebraska wear Mt. Rushmore unis? 
UCF was founded as FTU, with the specific intent of producing graduates to support NASA and the space program.

So it makes sense.

So you put beans in your spaghetti sauce?

Morning. I got Sportscenter on in the background of note...

Desmond still calling people by the wrong name.

Maryland's Throwback Uniform this week is 10x less ugly than their current.

UCF's NASA Uniform is all kinds a nerd awesome. Helmet has the light and dark side of the moon. Jersey's has constellations embroidered into it. Pants have the Apollo 11 USA Rocket font.
https://www.uniswag.com/blog/ucf-2019-space-uniforms
I love the Maryland state flag.  It's the only state flag based on a coat of arms, and heraldry is something that interests me.  And the arms of the "Lords Baltimore" were particularly handsome, with the Calvert and Crossland arms quartered.  So, to Maryland, for your state flag, salute!
But it doesn't work at all on a football helmet!
So the throwbacks look pretty good.  I think I liked the helmet prior to "Terps" even more.  That had a white helmet with black and gold stripes, and a gold block "M" trimmed in black on each side.

UCF's NASA-themed unis are clever, but clever is not always good.  And stuff that is cool as hell seen from 10 feet just looks "off" when seen from 100 or 500 feet.  The constellation images on the numbers won't show up from a distance, nor will the artwork on the helmets.  I do think the artwork--especially the lunar craters--looks cool.  Up close.  For somebody else's team, not mine.  NASA-font "USA?"  Meh.  When it has to be announced that it is the font from the Saturn V that launched Apollo 11 on the way to the moon, it doesn't work.

He's from Cincinnati.

So, is that Cincinnati chili?  I see the spaghetti noodles.  I see a little "chili."  I see the pile of cheddar cheese.  What are those things on top?  Chicken-fried mushrooms?  Fried okra?  Fried carrot slices?  Fried brussels sprouts?  Fried cauliflower?
