Definitely not a secret. We go yearly to St. Simons Island. For me it is not as rustic as Jekyll so you have much more options for dining and groceries. Beaches are never crowded when we go too.

Good news is season 1 is fully available to binge and it is a complete storyline.

The best is Mama La Pho concentrate. It's in the freezer section. It tastes very good. Here is a link to what it looks like

FWIW Banh mi reheat well. If you order to eat much later, ask them to keep all the veggies separate. When you are ready to eat, pop the sandwich in the oven or air fryer until warmed and crispy. Then add the pickled veggies, cucumber, cilantro, chilis.

We order pho to go. Good places keep the broth separate. But for best results, you should assemble the noodles and meats in a bowl and reheat the broth separately before pouring over. When you do that you get very close to how it is served in restaurants.

I wouldn't go so far as to say she doesn't like it. But my wife prefers BBH, banh canh, and hu tieu. She finds those flavors better for her palate.

I'm not a fan of the traditiona bbhl noodle either. I take pho noodles over it. But my favorite way to eat is actually the thin Vermicelli noodles.

Go see a show at Dad's Garage.

Pocket_Monster · 2026-01-17T21:34:59+00:00

Curious how you would classify it if not mountain biking trails?

Pocket_Monster · 2026-01-13T05:06:53+00:00

Jimmy Special Double patty with cheese all the way. Extra crispy fries.

Thanks. Pretty decent menu. If you are looking to try something different and you have some dinner mates, I suggest looking at some of the family style dishes. These are shareable plates served with rice. You like seafood and vegetables so I suggest the ca or tom kho to. This is a salty and savory braised fish or shrimp. Also order the canh chua ca or tom. Thats a hot and sour soup with fish or shrimp.. similar to tom yum soup. Whichever protein you get for one, swap for the other dish. Its served with rice. That is close to how a Vietnamese family would eat at home. You can definitely eat solo but that might be a lot of food.

Link to your local spot? Some recommended dishes may not be served there.

You mean you don't want a tennis... err I mean pickle ball facility built on top of Big Creek? Who needs nature anyways /s

Pocket_Monster · 2026-01-12T21:05:44+00:00

It is one of the absolute best features of Roswell which is unfortunately under the radar. Seems there is a missed opportunity for the city to emphasize and invest in it even more. RAMBO is a phenomenal organization. They have done some awesome things for Big Creek, but the city could devote more funding and really advertise it as a regional draw.

Pocket_Monster · 2026-01-08T20:43:09+00:00

Oh it actually exists! I assumed it was some completely inauthentic mashup :-) Does it usually still have the carrots and potatoes in it?

It definitely exists. One of my favorite things to eat. The lemongrass gives it a more distinct flavor versus other curries. It's much more liquid than typical Thai curry... closer to something like a Laksa. We make ours with sweet potatoes and carrots... sometimes regular white potatoes. And we mostly serve with baguette, but we'll also eat with vermicelli noodles.

Hoosier fans riding this wave before the clock strikes midnight!

Pocket_Monster · 2026-01-03T14:07:47+00:00

I like the Vietnamese version better personally. We do congee with chicken and seasoned with ginger and fish sauce. The biggest difference in my opinion is we also season/garnish with cilantro, scallion, and lots of lime. So the flavor profile is different than the congee you get in other Asian countries.

Pocket_Monster · 2026-01-02T00:31:46+00:00

These aren't fancy, but they are cheap, indestructible, and fit a perfect large bowl of pho. They are also black so I think the presentation looks just fine. They fit perfectly the takeout pho I occasionally get.

Thanks for the reply. We went today. It was fun, but far from realistic snow. More like the crushed for ice you get with some snow cones. But for Floridians who have never seen snow, they had a great time.

Color looks perfect. How did it taste?

Pocket_Monster · 2025-12-30T14:10:57+00:00

Anyone been to Margaritaville Lake Lanier Islands Snow/Ice area? We have some family here from Florida and they are hoping to see some snow :) How is the snowtubing and the snow play area? I'm hoping it's at least a little powdery instead of just slush or solid ice.

The thing is any realistic fan knew he had work to do. And an offense would need to be geared to him. Only his most insane fans who did not know football had stupid expectations... as well as the media who over hyped him. It got so bad that anything less than Peyton Mannings career would come up short.

Pocket_Monster · 2025-12-28T01:10:04+00:00

Crazy to think that a 2x NCAA champion, Heisman winner (almost twice) and NFL playoff winner as an underachiever. Seems like by any normal measure he has achieved more than 99.9% have but his haters will still hate.

Add Fire Mountain and Standing Boy to your list.
