what's your weather currently like?

or beef

Yeah, some folks do "beef birria" and I recognize that it's technically a thing but, to me, it's the same as when I order shepherd's pie and get beef instead of lamb (the former being the main protein in COTTAGE pie). It can be a regional thing. The restaurant I was recommending to Klasse serves food from the state of Jalisco; I'm sure there are many birrierias in Chicago I've yet to try but I've tried a lot and none of them serve beef. It's like gosht, I think - while most of the Indo-Pak places I go to serve lamb/mutton there are a couple where gosht is goat and even some where it's beef.

In general, if you go to a birrieria in Chicago you will be served goat with no other meat option (at least for the birria); no doubt there's other regions where what's standard is going to vary.

My folks were from Philly but we mostly grew up elsewhere. Grade school jaw dropping moment was being back up north visiting family and seeing Kraft "cheese" that wasn't orange! Like my HS history teacher used to bellow "Frame of Reference!".

Well...this scuttles my plans for being a settler in the 51st state, no thanks!

We managed to hit 26 this afternoon, as the sun poked through the clouds. But that was in our bigger southern hemisphere degrees.

We got about an inch and now mostly ice.

We got about an inch of snow this morning in NJ, but at least the wind (30-40-50 mph gusts) that we have been having ALL WEEK has died down, for now at least.

We hit 100f today, but I just got this flood warning by SMS, there's a cold front coming through and it could be very wet for the rest of the week.

Is it just me or does this incoming thunderstorm look just a bit like the alien city killer spaceships from Independence Day?

Lightning, thunder, hail, winds at 50 mph, and now, a blackout. I'm standing outside posting this as I can't get a signal inside.

The storm has moved on. The blackout remains, no hot water, so I had to give myself a rinseless wash.

No, not just you.
