I'm surprised streaming is a third now.  Yeah, this is akin to broadcast to cable, only a lot faster, I think.

My wife has a TV in her office I hooked up with an antenna.  She watches a bit in the afternoon, that's the only broadcast we have.  An extra cable box is $7 a month.

We had lunch at Mukja, Korean Fried Chicken, he had a side of mac and cheese with kimchi and bacon that is excellent.

Torchy's is OK

Torchy's is OK
I think it's better than okay for what it is, which is gringo tacos.

There are a bazillion taquerias and taco trucks to get interior Mexican street taco-style food.  But there are really only a handful of places, comparatively, doing innovative things with the fillings and ingredients.

Only real weakness for Torchy's, is the store-bought tortillas instead of house-made.

I've been to a few

better than OK is probably accurate

certainly not impressive, even for the price.  At least you can get a beer

To each his own, of course.

The fish taco is their taco of the month, I've never tried it before.  The other one is a barbacoa and Torchy's does it as well as any I've ever had, including both Texas and Mexico.

Only major drawback is the store-bought tortilla.

Fish taco was okay.  Barbacoa was delish.

It's been a long time since I had any "real fish", and not for lack of trying.  We do OK at home with steelhead trout from Costco, but it's more of a base on which to add other flavors like pesto etc.

I like Walleye.  Would make a tasty fish taco.  Even in a store-bought tortilla.

My high school alma mater put a major whipping on its in-town rival last night, 49-3.

The best part about that, is that all of my friends that went to that rival high school, and would be blowing up my Facebook feed if they had won, are blissfully silent this morning.

I'm not the kind to stir things up, so as long as they stay that way, they will not see 49-3 pasted all over their home page. :)

You could be obscure, like saying "What is 52-49?"...

French words that don't mean the same thing in English:

Menu
Cuisine
Entree
Poisson (OK, I'm stretching here)
Mercy (Same thing, in reverse)
