"Season" refers to the time of year when all the f'ing snowbirds show up. January to May. Sometimes earlier.

They are mostly gone now, thankfully. Less traffic and much easier to get a table at a restaurant.

I'm sure @Honestbuckeye also appreciates it, like the rest of our Florida contingent here.

I do kinda notice that a lot of people are becoming permanent residents lately, like us. Need more restaurants if that is the case - and I think it is.
Yes, the traffic has now lightened up a bit from “season“ but it’s still busier than it used to be because of so many permanent residents and the continuous building of houses and apartments.


Just got home from the trek from my place over to Cape Coral to visit my brother and hang out yesterday and swim, barbecue, etc.  Traffic wasn’t too bad

We had lunch at Tabla, Indian food, and superb, dined outside, weather very nice after some rain.  This sort of dish is called "thali".  My wife loves their "Dehli mules", I got one also.  I chatted with the bar tender a bit after, they now have Louis XIII cognac, it's $195 an ounce.  I've never had any, will probably give it a shot someday.

If I became vegan, I'd probably eat a ton of Indian style food.

 I mentioned we're headed to SD on Saturday, staying up in Carlsbad, I'm checking places near there, we'll have some dinners with eleven people present and I'll probably be footing the tab. 

If you know of any place really special in SD or north let me know.
Try this place.

If you like pizza and beer, Pizza Port is excellent for both. They don't have wait staff which I find annoying. So I usually try to get a seat at the bar.

Well, he has his opinions of course, he's probably not literally an idiot.  I avoid hot dogs myself, I eat 1-3 a year probably.  They probably are among the most "processed" foods out there.

Anyway, he doesn't like dogs, fine with me.

His dislike for hot dogs is not why I labeled him an idiot.

First passage:

It’s Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial kickoff of summer in the US, which means Americans are practically required under federal law to gather friends and family, fire up the grill and cook something.

That is when I stopped.

We went to our local haunt last night. They had a smoked brisket special on the menu, so I got it.

Terrible.

Told the GM to never offer that again unless his chef could properly trim the fat cap prior to smoking. He didn't remove ANY of it. Not edible unless you like chewing on pure, unrendered fat.

He took it off my bill and 86'd it for the rest of the night so nobody else had to endure it.

I suppose they could trim it out and make chili. I'll watch for a chili special this week, but I'm sure he'll put beans in it.

First bad meal I've had there, in 4+ years.
