OT - What are you doing right now?

@theyolksonyou  VERY nice looking grub right there.

It's now clear that Yolks family vacation meals are substantially different than mine.  I'm guessing each person even had their own beverage.

Same here.  On our vacation we pretty much sleep in our car and eat at whatever soup kitchen we can find.

When I’m on vacation (which is almost never) I don’t shave. But that’s the only time.

I should have credited my youngest son as last night's photographer.

Portofino’s ristorante Italians & Pizza tonight in Charlotte. Their Arrabbiata Pizza is a personal favorite of mine.

Which location? If you were at the Arboretum you were about 2 miles from me. I would have bought you a beer (or 2).

Park road....was a quick trip in and out. I have several trips planned in the coming weeks. Will hollow at cha!

@theyolksonyou man, you're killing me.  It should be illegal to post level 11 food porn.

Jaleo is fantastic.  DC is lucky that Jose Andres set his roots down and built an empire there.

I really like that first photograph, @GATraveller!

Such a great pic. I’ve only been to DC once as a young kid in the Boy Scouts. I don’t remember too many things about that trip but I vividly remember how quiet it was at the Vietnam Memorial. It was in the middle of a very busy area but was designed to eliminate the noise. It was quiet. Eerily quiet.

What, exactly, is the Y-axis in this case?

Heh, you said "Y"....   
 
EDIT:  And, looking at it again, that data does not represent what I was thinking about; time to retire.

Cracker Barrel on every Interstate exit in the South has Necco Wafers.

not for long, they closed the necco plant, no more clove wafers

SonVolt

Dang, didn't know that. Well if they can bring back the Twinkie they can bring back those nasty chalky tums-tasting but totally addictive wafers.

Legit BBQ place near me has brisket cheese steaks on the occasion they have leftover brisket. Just so happened today was one of those days and I was working from home.


Just finished half, and it was worth the drive.

Trying to make the right choice and put the other half in the fridge for later, but I probably won't...

I didn't, it's gone...

In case you are ever in the area, give this place a try:

im thinking there may be a faster way to stack wafers

SonVolt

I once saw a stripper in New Orleans instantly stack a roll of quarters, but I'll spare you the details.

stacking is the easy part, making change is more difficult for a stripper

I have actually seen that. A quarter turned in to two dimes and a nickle.  Damnest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life.

Improvised a cauliflower gratin last night that came out way better than I expected.  Dumped the florets into the cast iron pan used to previously cook the hamburger steak, so it had lots of beef fat and crusty fondy bits. After it had softened a bit I transferred to a roasting pan with some heavy cream and white cheddar and popped it in the oven.
