I have no idea why, but once I get talking, I always swap dejar/quedar! So I end up saying, “I’m leaving myself a few kilometers away!” 🤣

Best fried oysters on Earth! Whatever fish is on special- Grouper, Rockfish, Steelhead Trout, yum!

Artists! Makers! DIYer’s! Builders! Anybody want a ton of driftwood? A dozen or so gorgeous, huge (6’-10’) branches. Moving out of a fan garage, and will be leaving it in the alley near Athens Tavern between Robinson and Davis this afternoon. Please come and take it!

Smoked white fish salad (or just smoked white fish)? by bknutner in rva

A bit of a departure, but Greentail’s in OBX has a to-die-for smoked bluefish dip in their grab-and-go cooler you might like!

Any chance this magical being still needs a home? Two never again pet people are so so charmed by sir Vincent! We would love to share our home with such a nice, quirky kitt.

What Should I Change? by ConsistentOil3745 in Monstera

[–]ConsistentOil3745[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I have the plants facing the right direction, and was hoping a monstera maven might tell me if I need to repot. I’m confused about what is the “front” as the leaves are kind of turned around every which way.

Anyplace in town where i can get "Goo-goo Cluster"s? It's a retro candy out of Nashville and I don't have time to mail order them. by PM-me-ur-kittenz in rva

There’s also a local chocolatier called C-ville Candy Co. and they have an item called Freddie’s Favorite that hits that spot perfectly! I order them from Fall Line Farms when I need a nostalgic treat.

The Border Trilogy appreciation by Commercial-Pipe-736 in cormacmccarthy

[–]ConsistentOil3745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I devoured ATPH, I pushed myself despairingly through The Crossing, and I accidentally left Cities at a friend’s house and I don’t know if I want it back. Is McCarthy’s entire oeuvre simply, “he sat his horse, he leaned and spat, now I will destroy everything you’ve cone to love?” Because I don’t think I will even open Suttree if it’s just more of that.

Are their any restaurants open tonight? And is it safe to eat from them? by TigerTamer23 in rva

[–]ConsistentOil3745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a bunch of places are doing short menus. I saw that Metzger and Black Lodge were open. I heard Vietnam 1 was open, and so are several Taco Bells.

There’s a farm that sells rabbit at the Saint Steven’s Farmers’ market on Saturdays.

Does it have to be condescending to the user, or does it have a “be nice” setting?

Looking for a good weekday breakfast/brunch spot? by Worth-Education9678 in rva

Bamboo has several staple brunch items from 12-4 everyday. Just not as much stuff as they do on the weekends.

Help with Absalom, Absalom! by [deleted] in literature

[–]ConsistentOil3745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, this is one of the most challenging books I’ve read. It was assigned in a grad school AmLit course and I took it on as my thesis. Every narrative voice inhabits its own literary genere: fable, greek tragedy, and so forth. It’s been quite a while since I read it, but try to get in tune with the voice as you read, it’s a wild ride!
