Ha I have always thought the Escobar Hippos were pretty cool but wouldn’t want to run into one while out hiking. Sorta a similar story I lived in Hollywood FL for years and one night at a bar some guy is telling me that Dania Beach has monkeys, I thought he was full of it but looked it up when got home a what do you know some escaped from a zoo or circus or something back in the 1920’s and there has been a stable population living in the mangroves ever since. All we get here in the Midwest is Asian carp and those lamprey things.

I never looked into Belize but I have 2 coworkers who have moved to Costa Rica since COVID started and are pretty happy about it. I was working from home even before COVID for the most part and have thought a lot about this, I sort of think Colombia is a good place to get in while it is still cheaper. Still a stigma to it from FARC and Escobar but really coming out of all that.

Totinos isn't it and I have never been able to find the TV dinner pizza suggested so took a shot at the recipe below that claims to be from the government school cafeteria recipe. We stuck pretty much to the recipe, used 1 Lb ground beef but spiced it with garlic salt, italian seasoning, and fennel seed while browning. I used Walmarts Great Value pizza sauce, ending up using a bit more of that and mozzarella than the recipe suggested since I had so much meat and it seemed to need it. The result? The crust was at least 2x thicker than the pizza I had in my grade school cafeteria, it turned out more like a Rocky Rococco crust. The flavor and texture was right though so I think the recipe is correct just need to adjust the amount of batter next time I guess. It actually turned out pretty tasty even if not what I was after, I had too much meat but ground beef is the right call and it turned out more like a meat pie but without the grease that a similar amount of sausage or pepperoni would. The fennel adds a nice flavor but not sure if that is what they used in the cafeteria or is a flavor of another of my childhood favorites, Tombstone Sausage. https://www.plainchicken.com/school-cafeteria-pizza/

Pothole is the Hormel brand that Kwik Trip replaced Heggies with? If so not a fan at all, too much sauce and toppings. I guess that is the idea but could only eat a couple of pieces and never wanted it again. But I am not a fan of Lotza Motza except the taco either.

Goat cheese in place of mayo on a BLT. I was skeptical as I think the mayo makes the BLT but very tasty.

Watched Repo Man for the first time since probably the 80’s. Awesome movie and it has aged much better than all those John Hughes flicks. Sort of seems like a Tarantino movie at times, was thinking I am surprised Harry Dean Stanton wasn’t a Tarantino regular. Great soundtrack too.

I have been watching Yellowstone and am surprised how much I like it, flew through the first season which is unusual for me as I tend to get bored binge watching most new shows and go back and forth among a few at a time. More of a serial and much darker than Longmire but it does borrow pretty heavily from the broader story lines of that show. I guess I can't get enough of rural crime dramas.

Was a villain in El Dorado, a really entertaining John Wayne western and I think I recently saw him in Cobra Kai. RIP

Things have definitely changed on the remote work side, companies still fighting it are losing out on top talent. I had gotten myself to full time remote then took some time off but went back to same company, new manager insisted I come in at least a couple of days a week and had a real problem with remote workers. Then Covid came and they found productivity increased with workers at home so now we are fully hybrid and no one is required to come in except new hires in entry positions. Interviews are exhausting, they don't really stress me out any more but I went through a process late last year and had 4 separate interviews, it got sort of annoying in the end. Then I turned it down because of the remote work thing, that is tough to let go of. It literally turns what used to be a 10 hour work day(commute, getting up, getting ready etc) into 8 hours. Not to mention I can just take a nap over lunch break if tired which gets rid of the lazy food coma afternoons I have had most of my life in the office.

Buy one of those TV dinners...it tastes pretty close even getting the soggy and chewy texture. What TV dinners are you talking about? I see someone said totinos below but I have had their pizza rolls and it's hard to believe it's not garbage. I loved school cafeteria pizza and can still remember the taste but never found anything like it. Pizza Villa in West Salem was a recent discovery I had, awesome crust although I would recommend extra cheese.

I feel like maybe the golden age of TV ended with GoT. Maybe it's just TV burnout from too much time at home during Covid but I struggle to find any shows worthy of binge watching anymore. I probably have about 6 shows I am in the middle of but I still turn on the TV and can't find anything I want to watch. Was just looking at the Emmy's from last year and maybe Succession is something I should pick up again but like so many other shows I just sort of burned out on it after a season or 2, they just don't suck you in like Breaking Bad or the Sopranos did. I did recently watch The Newsroom for the first time and got through that pretty quick, only 25 episodes or so not sure why it was so short lived. Maybe it's time for a swing back to movies being the big thing again but yeah have to get out of this comic book stuff. You may be right. The last year hasn't been that great but I'll throw Better Call Saul against any show out there right now. If anyone is into mafia crime dramas (and doesn't mind subtitles) there's a good one on HBO Max called Gomorrah. For sure, I had Hulu live which didn't have AMC so waiting for season 5 on netflix right now. It's been so long since season 4 that I forgot how good it was until you mentioned it, I probably need to rewatch to catch up. That is a problem with a lot of shows these days, it shouldn't take 2 years for a new season.

I like Bosch, I always seem to blow through the new seasons in just a few days. It sort of tries to be The Wire but lacks the humor and memorable characters. I think pulling off the comedy is what separates the truly great crime dramas like Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Wire, Deadwood, Justified, Saul, Boardwalk Empire, maybe The Shield need to watch that again. Those shows are all hilarious and that's what makes them worth a second watch. Just finished Homeland, it's a solid final season.

I have been watching Picard this weekend and you are going to have forgive me for not keeping up on trekkie news but Seven of Nine is back!!!! A little aged but then so am I. I'd still....

The Home Run Inn is what prompted my complaint about no cardboard trays in the bugging you thread but I have to admit it was a pretty tasty frozen pizza, I don't like a lot of sauce and it seemed just right in that regard. It also gave me a stomachache a few hours later and it happened with both the sausage and the pepperoni so that takes it way off my best list. Also, I didn't really care for Lotza Mottza but after hearing about the Taco Grande here I got one and threw some romaine, sour cream, and taco sauce on it and it was awesome.

I have never had T-Jo's, but then I have always lived on the south side and haven't lived here for most of my adult life either. I am going to try it soon though, can never try enough new pizza. I am sort of craving a slice of Rocky's sausage since reading this thread but I have to go up to the north side for that now too. There used to be a Happy Joe's take out place down by the brewery that had similar slices to Rocky's, square and doughy, I really loved that place. Looks like that chain is still around but the pizza pictures on their website don't look anything like I remember.

Rocky's sausage is amazing but I don't care for all that dough, there has to be better balance. I had both Pizza Hut and Papa Johns once in the last few years ad couldn't stomach more than a couple of pieces. Pizza Pit LOL we used to order that after bar when I was in my early 20's, greasiest pizza ever but hit the spot at that time. For my hometown favorite South Lanes Pizza in La Crosse is the best in town, the sausage pepperoni is perfection. Best pizza I ever had was at these mediterranean places in Minneapolis, there was one right next door to First Avenue downtown and one Uptown in the 90's. The gyro, the eggplant, the spinach, they were all amazing. Not sure if they are still around, I doubt it.

I have heard that same comment describing Spartacus which I haven't seen, must be a Starz thing. I watched Black Sails and liked it but I like a lot of those period dramas like Vikings, Deadwood, Rome, etc.

I am not loving this deal at first glance, as someone else said we already have some guys who throw hard who can't get it done in the majors. But I guess when you are thin on prospects you have to try to mine some nuggets. I doubt we will regret Dubon but then I never really thought Cain or Brantley would be half the players they turned out to be either. Oh well, about what I expected I guess for our deadline deals just seems like the Giants fans are probably thrilled about landing our #3 prospect for those guys.

I think it's a couple of years old but have been listening to the latest Unsane album, a band I used to get into on the 90's that I had forgotten all about. One of the great noise bands, always great to see bands like them are still touring and putting out records. Other than that I think a new Mastodon record is due out this year, one of the few bands I still keep tabs on. Sort of embarrassing how little new music I listen to considering how much time I spent in the 90's going to shows and buying new records. I don't care for country either but friends whose music opinions I respect are into Chris Stapleton and I am sure there are a few other that are good. I am sure there is lots of new hip hop I would like but if I am in the mood for rap I am more likely to look into some older stuff that I missed at the time rather than looking into what's new.
