The Cozy Corner

[Mo_Bandy]

Now debating if I should have another beer (they have a Czech dark larger I kind of want to try) or go to the Mexican place for fresh made guacamole and a margarita…

Tough choice. Czech Dark lagers are one of my favorites but Marg too you know.

Question #1
If you could answer using reactions that would be amazing.
Which city would you like to visit most in CA?

for Los Angeles
for San Diego
for San Francisco
for Disney Land (yeah I know please don't question this option )

I have been to LA and San Diego which are great but San Francisco is one of worlds most unique cities.

 

[Nylonian]

Most underrated spot for me in LA is La Brea Tar Pits. Come on, it's a preserved prehistoric treasure trove.

Con: LA traffic cops are evil and pedantic. I got ticketed twice in one day for parking 6 inches into a no parking zone. It reeks of quotas and profiteering.

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Sometimes I think I should start my own thread where people ask me about brewing but then I think how much work my fake fucking job already requires.

 

[Nylonian]

Or me as a coffee specialist... But I'd probably just bore everyone and the thread would be two pages tops.

If anyone has a question they can ask me here anyway.

I would choose San Francisco a million times.

True Juggling act between entertain and boredom.

Maybe we can have a joint thread that's about arcane coffee and brewing AMA. Reddit style. Would you be keen to collab?

I grew up there... Unless you want to mortgage your home, stay away from Disneyland.

But the SD zoo and animal park are great!

Plus, Long Beach has the Aquarium of the Pacific and that's amazing. Ooh... The Queen Mary is docked right next to Aquarium. Oh! And if you like the Grand Prix, it's held there too

Maybe. Sometimes I give tours at work and I can tell people get bored and then I just let them drink right out of tanks. Probably dont have that crutch here.

Question #2
What would be your favourite landmark to visit in California?

for The Hollywood Sign
for The Golden Gate Bridge
for Redwoods

Edit: Thank you @cheekygirl75

Hollywood is dirty AF. Rodeo Dr is just a fancy strip mall. SF is like walking through a maze of crack and meth heads. I think Methaniel and Methany live there.

Give me the serenity of the a Redwoods

I'm sure we're capable of being plenty entertaining. Maybe @Dayhoosier can join in with a dad joke here and there.

Yeah I'd rather be hiking and climbing too. Gonna do more of that the next I'm in Cali.

Followed up the brewery with a trip to Trader Joe’s… maybe not the best idea after a couple of drinks and while still hungry!

I love their Elote Corn Chip Dippers. Gosh it's always good to get a care package from LA.

Oooh, I don’t think I’ve tried those! I wonder if they have them in the Trader Joe’s on this side of the country…

Yup! I got salted caramel mochi ice cream bites… I’m very excited for those!

I say this a lot....I should go more often. Like it's closer than the regular grocery store...it's next door to my daughter's work and i go like once a month at best

Well, it’s not the cheapest place - you couldn’t do your regular grocery shop there, really. So once a month or every other month is pretty good.

That's what I do - once a month visit. I mostly go for their snacks lol. I never buy meat from them - it looks like it was 3D printed

Fun fact about mochi. In Japanese folklore there's a tale about a rabbit who lives on the moon making mochi. If you squint, you can sorta make it out.

In Autumn, mochi is seen as an offering to the Shinto goddess Inari to pray for a good harvest due to its divine associations.

All the nut butters and the coffee though are actually MUCH less expensive than kroger or meijer
