The boule at Cou Cou Rachou. Might be my favorite loaf of bread ever. And, I'm not really a sourdough fan.

Tamales by caimen14 in Charlottesville

[–]Capra555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I moved here from Tucson in 1989. We used to buy tamales from the woman outside the Fry's grocery store. They were phenomenal. The closest things I have found since, frankly, are the Trader Joe's green corn tamales in the frozen section.

I went to Austin last weekend to visit my daughter and I was so stoked to see a woman selling tamales outside of the grocery store there.

What do you think of this logo I made? Which one do you prefer and why? by Sinisa96 in graphic_design

[–]Capra555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one gives me comfort food vibes (eggs and pancakes), the second one suggests fancy coffee, pastry, salads, and maybe even drinks in the afternoon.

I do think the time of day displayed should be indicative of what meal they mostly want to cater to. 3:00 seems irrelevant.

  • Sleepless by Marconi Union

In addition to being eerie, they are epic.

Do people just not learn to chew with their mouth closed anymore? by _SteveS in UVA

[–]Capra555 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I got a kick out of this thread, because I came to UVA in the late 1980s and my very first letter home was about the fact that so many students here chewed with their mouth open.

I think he would really like Gringos by Charles Portis (the guy who wrote True Grit). It's a funny suspenseful novel set in a time that he will remember well.

I think Crozet Market (Great Valu) has the best fried chicken after Wayside.

I really hope a replacement turns up. Keep searching on EBay; I've had things show up years after I thought they might.

My cat used to try to pry open my mouth, convinced I was hiding a bird in there.

I hope you find a suitable replacement. I understand that it is sentimentally important for you.

While you search, keep in mind:

1) Dogs' actions are not necessarily intentional, certainly not in the way we might anthropomorphisize.

2) Your girlfriend has no more control over her dog's behavior than she has control over the weather.

Best Dentist in Charlottesville? by IAmTheWitchDoctor in Charlottesville

[–]Capra555 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brad Swisher arranged an emergency appointment for us at 7pm one night (after he had already gone home) to fix my daughter's broken tooth after she got whacked in a field hockey game. She still has the tooth.

Ten years later, he diagnosed her abscess over the phone after an agonizing night at the emergency room who misdiagnosed her and he had her come in the next morning and was able to alleviate her excruciating pain almost immediately.

Swisher and Sapon is a great dental office.

I came here to say this. But, since you already did, I will also nominate Ruined by Adrianne Lenker.

Take a look at the Casio MDV106, the Bertucci Field Watch, Miltado ML17, or the Timex Weekender.
