Ah that hurts. I enjoy an insipid Corona - uh, cat piss - on a hot day.

Their Arkansas black variety was quite good - crunchy and sweet. Bought a 3lb bag.

Oh great. I love Bristol Farms fruit department. Thanks.
I would have never have thought you were a Corona person. Please come over from the dark side and get some Modelo.
That’s exactly how I’d describe good quality uni.
I’m not for the most part. But when the weather is really hot, Corona is so light that it hits the spot for me, especially after doing some yard work. And I did just finish my last Negra Modelo on Sunday!
On hot days, I like icy cold Bud Light at Dodger Stadium. With a straw, please.
That is so pretty!!
Hi @PorkyBelly,
So you’re the reason there’s no Uni available tonight at any of the Sushi Bars here in LA.

And the taste??? They look marvelous…
Oh that might be vital information, huh? Whoops. I thought they tasted great. Especially the lemon meringue. I typically don’t like pie crust but loved the graham cracker streusel crust on the lemon meringue. I’m also not the biggest fan of banana cream pie, but this was very tasty. My SO loved it.
I followed @chinchi’s lead and had khao soi today. Mine was from Elephant Thai Kitchen, which had a favorable review in the OC Weekly. According to the Weekly, it’s run by a Laotian who escaped the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. He decided to specialize in Northern Thai and Issan fare. As for the khao soi, it hit all the right notes for me - sweet, creamy, and surprisingly a bit spicy. There were nice hits of salt and crunch from the pickled vegetables. I haven’t been to Pailin lately, so I think a taste comparison is in order.

The khao soi was $9.

Uni rice - hot stone rice with seaweed, salmon roe, caviar and sea urchin
The 'ndas were so fresh they tried inseminating the roe and caviar.

I counted at least 9 'nads, not a bad deal for $19.
