A friend of mine went to Cuba. He sent me a postcard that said "I'm Havana good time."
Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ballDon't stop me now
If you want to have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now (because I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all
(wow that was well placed)

You know the hot chocolate you bought is gonna be good when it comes jn a package with primarily Spanish writing, it's hecho en México, and you have to break it with a knife and boil it in a pot.

I know San Francisco has bad to meh pizza in general, but we did invent the cornmeal crust, and the cornmeal crust is bomb if you understand how to use it. Honestly, we should stop trying to ape New York and concentrate on further nailing down this interesting, unique variation we've invented.

Mexican hot chocolate comes in these thick discs about the size of your palm. You boil them with milk in a pot. Problem is, one disk makes about a quart, so you have to cut it into portions with a knife if you're one person. There are grooves to facilitate this.

It does, but it's a time investment to make and cool to drinking temp.
So, I saw Coco today. I really liked it. Only real comment is that I really want to see more of Miguel's skeleton family, but I really don't know how a sequel could ever work.

I broke my walking stick last week when doing cane fighting with someone who had a rather sturdier walking stick.
I fixed it over the weekend using No More Nails and electrical tape.
Will it survive another bout this evening?
Probably not.

Meh. I went to Chicago and had the locals recommend "real" Chicago-style pizza. I wasn't particularly impressed. When I reported this, they responded, "Oh, you must have gone to the wrong xxx; try this one instead."
Ditto New York.
If you claim to me that your pizzas/bagels/whatever are SO far superior to mine, but then you cannot possibly provide me with a sample when I visit your city, and every response of mine is, "That really wasn't particularly different from what I get at home," and you reply, "Oh, you went to the wrong place. Oh, they must have been having an off night," then I begin to get...
...skeptical.
EDIT: Or the wonderful, "You obviously have no taste, and don't know good pizza when you get it."
In other words, "It's YOUR fault you don't think MY pizza is the best ever!"

I just watched Coco tonight. It was a great movie!
If I were the protagonist of the movie things wouldn't get that far. After finding myself in the land of the dead, I'd accept the bargain and leave behind music to get back. I play piano, but I've never had the shine so to speak, nor the performance flair. Heck I don't even have the ear. I can learn a song, playing it technically right, but there's no...emotion behind it if you get my drift. I've actually got decent paw accuracy and speed, though. If short stubby paws.
But I can understand about families being restrictive, that's the story of my life.

I can't speak for Chicago, but what makes a great New York pizza:
1. Slices so big you must fold them in half while eating to avoid a mess.
2. Enough grease to make a mess anyway.
3. Enough salt that you need a drink with your slice.
...I love me some New York pizza, but it's not exactly a secret recipe of culinary masterwork.

See, now that's a nice, fair assessment that makes it clear that what I personally care for is not New York pizza. I don't care about how big the slices are, and I really dislike excess salt. The grease I can go either way on... good grease is a really really tasty thing...

you're from the wrong coast to be preaching about pizza superiority. I can only surmise that years of being subject to cali pizza kitchen has ruined your palate for the finer things in life.

If you want expensive (for a reason, it's pretty good for the Midwest) you want Paison's, if you want a good deep dish pizza delivered Pizza Extreme makes a great Barbeque chicken deep dish pizza.
I make no claims on if it's better than anywhere else, it's probably not.

LOLOL.
And I didn't say California pizza was superior. I said that I have yet to find a New York or Chicago pizza where I said, "Wow! I can't get anything this good in California!"
If you're going to claim superiority, you need to be able to show it.

Well, having a long and storied history of being "different", I have always bristled at people who say, "This is the best, and if you don't like it then you have no taste."
It's definitely an East Coast thing. West Coasters are more laid-back.
A good example is Impus Major: He doesn't particularly care for Rivoli. Yet I am still of the opinion he has excellent taste. His tastes just don't match mine. So when we're treating him to a restaurant, we go to Skates instead, which *I* think is inferior to Rivoli, but he feels is far superior.
And, being Californian, I see nothing wrong with that.
The New York-style, get-in-your-face-and-yell-at-you-that-you're-wrong is just irritating to me...

In the Midwest if we think you're wrong we'll say "oh yah! That's nice!" and then gossip about how wrong and or stupid you are, often while you're standing right there.

Not very funny, Freehold. But I appreciate the effort. Last night, I had two episodes of Reflux. The Sun's out, it's a beautiful day, and I don't feel well. There's no justice. *Blegh* Sipping Mt. Dew to try to settle my stomach.
mountain dew for an upset tummy? Wouldn't ginger ale be better?

The New York attitude is why, despite being a theatre fangirl who would love Broadway, I have zero interest in ever visiting the city.

You guys are just so wrong. Swedish pizza is where it's at. Thin crust, tomato sauce and cheese, plus whatever other stuff you want on it. A specialty is chicken, banana and curry pizza. Sometimes with pineapple.

youre missing out. We are warm and friendly people who will help you to the best of our ability, so long as you are not breaking one of our sacred rules.
Yes, pizza is a sacred rule.
Other sacred rules include NOT stopping in the middle of the sidewalk when we are trying to get somewhere, asking really, REALLY stupid questions(the WTC thing got old really quickly, as are any ignorant questions regarding race/ethnicity/religion- people on this thread are not ignorant enough to ask some of the things i have heard over the years, so you're good), and trying to start a fight regarding local sports teams(Im not kidding. I hate going to the second job when the rangers are playing any of their rivals, a drunken fight usually breaks out).
That said, you know who has surprisingly good theatre? Connecticut. And they have AMAZING (non pizza based) food. If you cant do New York, you could do far worse than Connecticut. Check them out.

So, this is SUCH a classic example of what frustrates me so much about working for Global Megacorporation that I don't know whether to laugh or cry:
(1) We received a mandate that the word "Custom" is far too confusing for customers, and needed to be excised from all training, documentation, and the product itself. While I'm not a big fan of, "Oh, it's obviously the words we are using that is confusing our customers, so let's just rename everything and that'll fix our customer satisfaction issues," it's really not a hard mandate to implement, so meh, whatever.
(2) As is absolutely, classically, 90% of "what is wrong with this company", it turns out that none of the developers were actually using the development tools they were supposed to be using. It's my biggest complaint about working here: We are provided software, templates, standards, training, and free reviews if we ask for them. Yet every single department does its own thing, because following the standards is apparently "too hard". (We are one of a handful of groups that actually uses the as-delivered standard templates, and even we have mild variations from them.)
(3) So the overall project has been pushed back TWO MONTHS because the devs didn't bother to use the correct tools.
(4) And yet, not a single person will ever be punished for this fiasco.
Ah, Global Megacorporation, will you never cease to amaze/amuse me?

The best pizza I’ve had was in Naples, Italy. Everything stateside pales in comparison.
As usual, you win the thread.
