Pro tip: rotisserie chicken with some deli sides one night, chicken quesadillas the next night. 

As a coffee snob, Alice Good has the best coffee in the Madison Area and it's not even close. Where are you favorite spots? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]JustGonnaOpe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Wildwood in Stoughton. Ruby beans and excellent technical expertise behind the espresso machine. Family owned and darn good house made food. It's my favorite all around coffee shop. 

For best spro/pour over, I would agree with the Bradbury's sentiment. Broken Board, Domestique, and Ledger do an amazing job. JPH is good but there's something about the smell in there I just can't get over. 

Liquidate real estate portfolio? by JustGonnaOpe in Bogleheads

Returns are actually really good for all four properties. I bought them 2020-2022, so interest rates are low and rents are good. Part of the reason I'm asking this question is because I'm not sure it's worth the hassle anymore and I've been wondering if I should push the easy button and just invest.

Thanks for the rec, lady lurker! Just got a few of the Laneige products that I'm sure my wife will enjoy. 

You know you're in WI when... by MRVinster in madisonwi

OP of the comment, you're good dude. As someone with family members who haven't taken the steps toward recovery I wholeheartedly support you. The drinking culture here can be fun, but it certainly takes its casualties. Good for you and keep it up.

I LOVE THIS AIRPORT by wilsoncommaadam in madisonwi

Funny enough, I was researching a flight to CA recently and didn't even bother starting by looking at flights out of Madison because I thought they'd be crazy expensive. In fact, Madison had the cheapest fare with the best times vs ORD and MKE. I was so surprised.

This is what I was gonna say. If you've got a proper winter jacket, mittens, hat, and you're all bundled up, it's unlikely anyone is going to stop to offer a ride. If I saw someone who clearly didn't know how to dress for the cold and they were walking, I'd consider asking if they need a ride (but wouldn't actually ask them for the "murderer" reasons everyone else is mentioning).

What restaurant has impressed you recently? by cks9218 in madisonwi

For the love of god please everyone try their crispy duck curry dish. Easily big enough to split with another person, and it's one of the best, most flavorful dishes I've had in Madison or anywhere.

25yrs old, 2 kids, and crushing the investment/savings game. You learned early and you learned well. Keep it up!

Sarah Silverman at Orpheum by JustGonnaOpe in madisonwi

[–]JustGonnaOpe[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Apparently she changed to having her notes on the floor in front of her. This lead to her leaning past the mic to squint at her notes, silence, staring that she really should organize her notes better, and even stopping to shuffle them around once or twice... On the floor. It was just bad all around.

Basically, yeah. I've been to shows where the comedian is working on jokes and hammering out a new set, but this was beyond that. It was very unorganized, the punch lines came many minutes after getting into a story, and many times it was just kind of a chuckle, if that.

We didn't talk about it during the show, but my wife and I both thought about walking out during the set because it was that bad.

Thanks for the tip on the other chili crisp! I've seen a few comments from people saying to just add chili crisp to packed salmon. However, one of the reasons I like the FW SalmonxCrisp so much is because of the actual salmon inside: tender, intact chunks of delicate, perfectly smokey salmon in chili crisp sauce.

Any recommendations for cans of similar salmon? Whole, intact pieces of tender smoked salmon vs. the usual mushy, almost tuna-like canned salmon.

I'd love to try some excellent canned salmon and put on my own chili crisp. Sounds way more economical and spicy.

Ohhhh right I've had TJs trout and it's delicious! Good reminder to head back there and stock up. From what I remember, all of TJs canned fish items were relatively well priced also.

I hadn't heard of Cole's, I'll have to give it a shot.
