I just learned there's a Vietnamese-style food shop called Bánh Appetit. The name is a clever play on bánh mì.

I'd love to go for lunch and try the bbq pork, or ooh maybe the lemongrass beef. Add a Thai limeaide to that order.

It's all the way up in Portland, ME. More than an hour away for me. I need to come up with a reason for a day trip into Maine...

"Need to get a new hat and/or pair of gloves and/or crampons (be really ready for next ice storm!) at LL Bean."

"Verifying lighthouse still lit."

"Thinking of making a big donation to the International Cryptozooic Museum. Gotta check it out."

(Yeah, I had to Google for that last one.)

Someone gets me. (Not Google, I hope.)

If the food is good enough, anything is a valid reason to go.

When I was stationed in Fallon, Nevada, the nearest Taco Bell was an hour away in Reno. I was always finding good reasons to make the drive.

I'm pretty sure my boss would have a problem with me wandering off mid-day for a 3 hour lunch.

Taco Bell. I thought you said if the food is good enough?

It was the early 90s. I was in my 20s, and Taco Bell was arguably better back then.

Laughing out loud. Did you make that, or was there an actual smocked salmon pic out there?

Despite what others have claimed, you cannot find everything on the internet. Sometimes you have to put it there, first.

Actually, ChatGPT "made" it. I just told it to.

After nibbling on a oatmeal cookie for dessert (...), I started dreaming about trading it in for a slice of banana split bread. Some recipes use pecans, but I prefer almonds or regular old peanuts. For an extra wow factor, add Nutella and caramel sauce!

Update: Corrected first link.

I had to look that up (your link sends somewhere else). I thought it was just another way to say banana bread. Decadent!

I am SO making this. I'm a huge fan of banana bread anyway but this, wow. Actually, I'm already dreaming up variations, like if strawberries are out of season, doing something like coconut. I'll take some pics and post them.
