How MyLot and the incompetence of my favorite Japanese restaurant made me about $15.50 this evening!

@TheHorse they probably have some, but probably a lot more Cubans.

@ElicBxn I don't know that I've ever had Cuban food. Is it good?

Do they have real Mexicans in Florida? The burritos here are the best.

I've heard you do this before. No, I don't think I've done it. Certainly not recently. I'm not a fish lover, and the one time I tried sushi, the place and the experienced sushi eater both recommended the California roll. One bite and I spit it out... well, not a fish fan. The wife cooked fish one night and I ate about 3 bites and I was done, way to fishy for me. Both the wife and roommate liked their fish, but nope... I do have a lot of trouble with Oriental food because of the corn starch they put in so much of it.

California roll is made of faux-crab, but I don't know what it really is. I love it.

@TheHorse I was told it didn't have raw fish, but I don't like crab, or at least I've never found any I like.

@ElicBxn Faux-crab is probably made out of generic white fish, whatever that is.

Oh yes indeed. I make mental notes of me saving money and business losing money quite often. There's a place near us that has a really good soft shelled taco. They're much too expensive as far as I'm concerned but we enjoy a treat every now and then. When I looked at everything inside the shell, I told my husband that we can easily make these ourselves. We have done just that. Not only are they much better then the ones at the taco shop, they are sooo much more cost effective. Oh happy day!!

@TheHorse Though I'm not a fan of lox, your breakfast sounded very good. I can only begin to imagine what it would cost at a restaurant.

That is a happy story! I make a good spaghetti and a good Stroganoff. But I don't think I have the patience to learn to make good Mexican food. I just had French bread, butter, cream cheese, and lox for breakfast. It was delicious and the cost was next to nothing.

@TheHorse - We have stopped eating out on February 2020, the restaurants were closed because of the lockdown and stayed closed for months. Now they are open but with all those restrictions about the Covid Pass and I do not believe it is safe to eat inside with other people.

I've wondered about that as well. I'm losing a bit of money, as I'm only working part-time because of Covid. But I don't eat out as much as I usually do.

I wish I had your luck. I'm suing Denver, the entire city, every business and every resident because of Omelet Gate. I didn't want to do it but I had no choice. The bright side is it's only costing me $7,500 an hour. When it's over, the jury is going to make them give me $100 billion but I wish they were giving me $20 every three days right now.

@TheHorse You're going to have good luck with that. And it's not going to take long, either. That's been my experience, anyway. I sued Japan on Dec. 8, 1941, because I was in Honolulu and the air raid the day before caused my favorite restaurant to close early and I was hungry. And the judge in the case said that he's going to make a ruling any day now.

I cannot eat a whole burrito from my burrito place. I eat half of one for my initial dinner, and then two quarters for lunch over the next two days.

The Chinese restaurant I frequent for delivery often is hard to reach, and a lot of the time they lose a sale. I am always happy to give the money to another company even if I really wanted my Chinese food. It is what it is.

@TheHorse Not a fan of sushi personally. But I feel your pain. Ever since the pandemic, for some reason the Chinese restaurant I like stopped making chicken teriyaki on a stick. Not sure the reason, but I do miss it.
