Recession? What Recession?

You wouldn't know there's a recession going on if all you saw was In And Out Burger on Highway 5. At least twenty people are working behind the counter and fifty or more are waiting for their ordinary, ordinary food. These 'animal style' French Fries were nothing to write home about at all.



To be perfectly honest, the tamales at Mama's Tamales aren't all that much either. Plotnik always expects more than he gets -- the filling is basically corn meal wrapped around a tiny amount of savoriness -- this photo is a before, not an after.



It was nice to see Chef Pickle and The Great Sparker the other night at Tiapos. Everyone is so busy now, it's rare when the group can gather in all the sheep at once. There were eight Tiaposians in attendance on Thursday. It would be so nice if this happened more frequently.
