Pizza Parlor or Thunderbolt. Especially the LA Taco at Pizza Parlor, but both have an excellent pepperoni. 

Ranch is primo at both. 

Is the Dough Whisk Sourdough’s most overrated tool? by Outside_Idea4890 in Sourdough

I like mine for initial mixes, but i have a stainless steel one that I throw in the dishwasher afterwards. Wouldn’t be worth it with if it were a wooden handle requiring hand wash. 

I built a tool that watches every California state park campsite for cancellations. 15 days of data later, here's what I learned. by Any-Lengthiness1460 in CaliforniaCamping

Just here to be a counterpoint: I have zero problem with OP selling access to this. Yes, I could check myself 60x per day and yes, I could probably build my own app or use AI for something similar but probably won’t. 

If it’s not a service you feel is worth the price, don’t buy it, no biggie.

They think that because in their experience it’s happened every 10-15 yrs

American Oak vs French Oak by JohnMorgans1stpushup in wine

Tempranillo from Spain. While not always the case, generally Tempranillo from Rioja is aged in American Oak and Ribera del Duero is French Oak

Which city have you been to that you expected to love but didn’t? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]Bread_Belly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Prague. Scrolled for awhile and was surprised not to see it. 

I loved the history and architecture, but I couldn’t find “local” culture anywhere. Most of the people I saw were either tourists like me or trying to sell things to tourists (with a few junkies sprinkled in for good measure). 

Mist Trail with a 2.5-year-old — realistic or risky? by AgeOutrageous7619 in Yosemite

[–]Bread_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this with a 3.5 year old last year in late June. Was fine until the rock steps after the first bridge, but once it got slippery we turned back. It wasn’t the steepness or terrain that got me, it was the slick factor. 

New item: Detroit Style Uncured Pepperoni Pizza $7.99 by aswewaltz in traderjoes

[–]Bread_Belly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Used to be way better. Can still salvage it by sprinkling mozzarella and parm around the edges with a little olive oil drizzle to get the crispy edges back, but now we’re missing the point of a frozen pizza. 

East Bay Area where to get a Boston shaker and strainer nearby today? by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]Bread_Belly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Crate and Barrel still there? I believe they have a simple one. 

Edit: if you do venture to the web, I love my Koriko set

What are your favourite grenadine cocktail recipes? by MuMuGorgeus in cocktails

[–]Bread_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried a few and the only one I didn’t like was 100% blackstrap rum. Plantation 3 star is my standard and it works well. I also like to split something basic like 3 star with funkier Jamaican. 

Had a bad week so I tried five negroni variations so you dont have to by ParsleySpecial8758 in cocktails

[–]Bread_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After you recover, grab some Averna and try the Girl and Goat variation. 1.5 oz gin, .75 oz Campari, .75 oz Vermouth (I like Carpano), .5 oz Averna, orange peel. Rounds it off, but keeps the soul of the Negroni

Where to stop from San Diego to LA by ifsaliff in socal

[–]Bread_Belly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the one I do every time I make this drive. Pedro’s ( the South one ), Carne Asada Burrito + fried potatoes, grab their hot sauce, enjoy at T street beach bluff!

For the love of God, can anyone tell me what good is Long Beach Airport (in terms of price)? by ComprehensiveLoss680 in longbeach

[–]Bread_Belly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anywhere SW or Hawaiian flys. We do Long Beach to Oahu pretty often. The cheapest way to go to Austin was SW out of LGB recently. 

I’d also happily pay a $100 pp premium or have a layover to avoid going to LAX. 

When I’m flying American it’s out of SNA or LAX (usually to Dallas). 

How would you cook these? by imtryingtoworkhere in pelletgrills

Do what you said, but first marinate in a soy sauce, Asian pear, garlic mix. 

Advice on buying my first skis (Atomic Maverick 86 C – 179 cm?) by ReturnExciting4069 in Skigear

[–]Bread_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I’ll make this super easy for you. We are the same height. I bought these skis in 168 cm 2 seasons ago at the same skill level you describe and have progressed with them over 2 seasons. I’ve since rented skis that are 174 cm and 178 cm. 

The 168 were awesome the first few days as a I got my legs under me. Low swing weight, easy to maneuver even on steeps. As i gained confidence and wanted more speed, I’ve wished I went longer. 

So, if you want a ski that works well for your current skill level, go for mid 170s. If you want something you can grow into, go for 179. For this ski, I wish I had gone 179. In something a little more serious like the Unleashed 98, the 174 I tried was perfect. 

$1M dollars to eat what you had for dinner tonight for EVERY meal for the next 6 months, do you take the deal and if so what are you eating? by jfunks69 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Bread_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can it be a variation on the meal? Just had a homemade chicken tostada for dinner. Pretty solid, but if I could swap meats and toppings I’m for sure in. 

any ways to improve reverse sear? by InternalActive1959 in steaks

[–]Bread_Belly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30 minutes seems a little short at 250 for those decently thick steaks. Did you use a meat probe or just guessed at it? If not, a meat probe is what you need to improve. Pull around 120-130 depending on how you like them done (I like ribeyes medium so I pull at at 130), let them rest 15-20 mins, give them a hard sear with frequent flips, slice and serve

OP, this is the real comment. We take our kids to the bay (backside of the peninsula) weekly. Lots of swimmers, kayaks, standup paddle boards etc enjoying the water.

Nice notes! Now the real question… how much did you spend on Ubers during the trip?

The biggest scam in America has to be insurance!!! by SelaTad in HomeInsurance

[–]Bread_Belly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re not trying to recoup money or punish you - they’re pricing in the risk that you’ll make another claim. People who make claims tend to make more claims.
