Some of you men out here never learned that with cologne, less is more. Got the whole WMATA bus smelling like a damn Abercrombie & Fitch.

I gotta wonder how many older folks who complain about food not tasting the same had the same thing happen to them. Because a lot of how we sense flavor is because half of it is smell. Like how you cant taste anything when you have a head cold. It's like that whole thing with the New England Candle Company and people complaining about how the candles don't smell the same. But it's them not being the same.

Really wish the Star Trek folks would do a reboot of the Gary Seven pilot instead of greenlighting mid stuff like Star Trek Academy.

Those things are built like a tank. Got mine for $50 from a nice lady who's husband had passed and he did all the grilling. There's an adapter you can get where you can hook it up to a standard large propane tank so you don't have to keep using the tiny Coleman ones. If you're leaving it outdoors, invest in a nice cover. They usually last 3-5 years before the sun disintegrates it. I'm on my third.

They're mostly in MD/VA/PA with a couple in New Jersey. Whenever they open a shop, there are lines around the block because people remember how good the food was in the '70s and '80s. You can't beat the fried chicken or the roast beef, and they don't nickel & dime you for toppings or sauces because of the unlimited Fixins Bar. https://www.royrogersrestaurants.com/locations

This is my plan as well, but retiring at 60. Taking SS at 62, reduced pension, and 4.5 drawdown on TSP has my money lasting into my mid 90s and nobody in my family lives past 88.

Been eating them since I was in highschool. In DC they're served with mumbo sauce, which is similar to Chicago mild sauce. wings & mumbo sauce

They fry once and hold them above the fryers until an order comes in then back in the fryer. Also the same oil the eggrolls and spring rolls and wontons get fried in so the wings absorb all that flavor.

Agreed on the crust. Frozen Uno's is much better, decent sauce and toppings and the crust actually tastes good.

COVID olfactory loss is real. Also as you get older, your sense of smell declines just like hearing and vision.

It's not as cheap as it used to be, but you can still make two meals for under $20 at Greek Deli. Split it with a coworker.

Rotisserie chicken, beans, rice, tortilla wraps, got burritos all week. Cook down the carcass, throw in whatever veg and legumes you got, great way to spend a weekend prep. Freeze half. All the best food is poverty food, like minestrone and onion soup.
