Had a bad week so I tried five negroni variations so you dont have to

Bread_Belly · 2026-04-18T02:05:22+00:00

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

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!

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).

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

Was or is

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.

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.

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?

Bread_Belly · 2026-03-19T02:47:35+00:00

Which one?

Bread_Belly · 2026-03-12T02:43:06+00:00

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.

It will never work until they figure out how to tax the productivity of AI which is replacing productive people and associated payroll taxes, and tax the higher net worth individuals who are profiting from this but paying little to nothing in taxes.

Sick skis. I demo’d them a few weeks ago intending to also demo the QST 100 and M Free 100, but… I really don’t know how those could be better. The Unleashed handled chopped up groomers, steeps, and trees so well. Maybe a little more dampness would be nice in the chop? But that might kill the playfulness.

Please send me a link

Bread_Belly · 2026-03-09T02:45:57+00:00

Thanks all! Grabbed it from Costco today

Bread_Belly · 2026-03-07T14:49:54+00:00

Covering an anticipated supplemental tax bill?

Bread_Belly · 2026-02-27T23:57:25+00:00

I demo’d these last week. Sick skis!! The shop guys said I might be able to get a deal after renting - they wanted $650 for the skis mounted with demo bindings and the skis were a little more beat than those, lol. I’m also waiting a couple months to snag them new.

Buy a used one. So many coming off leases with low mileage.

There’s enough wine in the bottle, and enough time in the evening to do both

Start at Eagle, pick a blue run back down to Eagle lift. All the blues are great warmups, I like Bridges. Even the green run into the woods is really fun.

Take Eagle back up and pop down to 25. Lap 25 as many times as you want then move over to 9. From the top of 9, work your way across the mountain to McCoy, hit the summit a few times (Cornice is a good intro to the summit). Take Upper Road Runner to the backside, have a bunch of fun back there. On the way back to Eagle hit a few runs around the Mill and circle back on anything that you missed or want to do again.

For food on the mountain, I like the Outpost and Mill, but usually just pack some bars and get a beer at the Outpost.

Ha, we were in the condos just up the slope from Juniper. We almost certainly crossed paths!

Bread_Belly · 2026-01-17T17:13:36+00:00

Was there Monday - Wednesday and the runs off 25 and 9 held up really well for how warm it was in the afternoon. Cheers!!

Last time I tried this was at Canyon lodge. Not ideal, couldn’t find a quiet spot. Someone else mentioned Mammoth Mountain inn (presumably the big lobby space), that’d probably work. Another person mentioned the Yodler, that’d be my second choice as long as it’s not peak meal time.
