    Yep.  Hoping I’ll find a little time to get out and about and see stuff.

    @MasterC - Way to get after it.  Menu looks great.  Quality family time as well.  Great way to spend the day.
    Congrats to you both!

    See if you can smuggle back some Portuguese style chorizo. It’s an ingredient in shrimp and chorizo fundido /queso ( I think I posted the recipe) . Hard to locate the correct chorizo since Whole Foods closed. Mexican style chorizo just doesn’t work right.

    One of our house guests is busy cooking us supper.  She is low on smokes so I volunteered to go pick up a pack.  Cost me $130.  I am not complaining!

    $130 for both bottles!?  As Cap says, better to be lucky than good!!

    These days, the heaters were probably $130…

    If you have a friend nearby in the Air Force, our Commissaries carry it.  
    Yeah, Mexican and Portuguese chorizos are totally different things; one of them should change their name.

    Thanks Kessler Air Force base is about 12 miles away. Unfortunately no current friends there.

    That Blanton's is fresh from the distillery to the store with a dump date of 3-26-24.  
    Nice score.

    No joke! A carton around here runs that.  Glad I stopped 20 years ago.

    $11. on the "heaters".  55 on the big-boy BT, 75 for the Blanton's.  I think my vice is a much better deal than the guests. 🙂

    Sounds like a great time.  The experience and your cook(s) could be worthy of their own thread.

    Imagine my surprise the first time I bought Spanish Chorizo and tried to cook it.

    Lovely place, been many times - mainly down south along the Algarve. 
    Gets strong winds off the Atlantic, hope you've taken a scarf?
    Other girls may try to take me away 
    But you know, it's by your side I will stay

    No scarf packed, I’ll have to suffer through the sunny skies.

    Been eating takeout lately as I still can't stand up for very long; today I had my very last Whopper.  
     
    Speaker: "Welcome to Burger King; what can I get you?"
    Me: "Whopper Combo w/iced tea"
    Speaker: "Medium or Large?"
    I glance at the board, M is a $1.40 upcharge and the L $2-something.
    Me: "Just the Small"
    Speaker: "We only sell M or L, which will it be?"
    Me: "You have a Whopper Combo on your sign out here advertised for $8.99; that's what I want"
    Speaker: "We only sell M or L, which would you prefer?"
    Me: "Why are you advertising an $8.99 Combo if you're not selling it?"
    Speaker:
    Me: (drives off)

    @JohnInCarolina - Thanks for sharing the pics.  The lady at the next table over is maybe thinking "wish I'd ordered that"?

    @Botch - Haven't been to BK in years, so you've made me curious.  What is different between a regular, M and L Whopper?

    Lisbon does remind me of the time my Daughters Girlfriend lived with us and a friend came over, he was “ whose Ashley “ I said she was our foreign exchange student from Lesbia, he was so excited “ tell them when you get back to your country how cool the people here are “ 10 years ago I still give him crap about this

    Try to avoid fast food, but it's so dang easy. Try to avoid the drive through on top of that, but it's so dang easy. When I hear that I respond with "the smallest thing you sell"
