Dang bro, we have a "decent" little Chinese place in town, nothing special like that...............not even near it. One of the few things I miss about bigger cities is
"ethnic" cuisine. Are those clams in black bean sauce? I'd chow down on that. I can get chicken, beef, and shrimp with black beans here, but that's about it.
Where I went to school, a 5 hour drive or so N of San Fran, we had a great restaurant. Couple of times a week the owners would send someone down there for rea, fresh Chinese ingredient. And after dining there more than a few times with some locals and getting to know the owner, we could order special stuff off the menu if they had it available in the back.
When this contest is over I'm wishing for a complete list of your menu items so I can be even more jealous.
Is that your local outdoorsman's club, gun range, whatever you Massachusiolios call them?
Glad you enjoyed yourselves and even gladder you shared the good times with us.
Hope the missus has a nice time in the old country

Looks good. When I lived in the Bay Area (1st 35 years of life) we would head to Brandy Ho's in San Francisco in Chinatown for good Chinese.

I'd rather have steak and re-fried beans myself. How you been dude? Sheeit. A man can get a good steak pretty much anywhere...  Been awhile, bud. Doing great, and thanks for popping in. As usual, life has tossed some curveballs our way but the lass and I are still in the game and enjoying most of what comes at us. As a result of getting an ultimatum from my masters in the ivory tower to get the shots or get fired, threw up my middle finger and the towel August 2021. Been 'retired' since, I guess. Can't say living the life of a no-good, unrepentant bum, spending time with my wife and best friend and hunting and fishing my days away with other outdoors bums is something I can't complain about. Good to see you posting again, and I hope you and your boy are doing great. Maybe one of these days we'll hook up and have a few laughs together. I'd like that, and even better it'd make the heads of a bunch of these MFers here heads detonate.

Meanwhile live from the Rez, cheers homies. Other than your ghetto tastes in 'beer', I'm down to clown with that anyday, 'Cuz, and would use a nice crusty bread or french roll to suck up that bloody goodness. And a straw if I didn't have any bread! For real though, don't you cowboys have things like potatoes or some other sides or whatever? I'll send you a sackful of sumptin' if you need it, homey!

Sam's in full keto.
He has to drink a beer to counteract it.

I'd like that, and even better it'd make the heads of a bunch of these MFers here heads detonate. We could make that happen. Roger took my son fishing awhile back. Maybe we could do that. And, I'm not here much anymore... To many "Enlighten New Members" here on the Fire lately.

Hope the missus has a nice time in the old country Massachusiolios? Stop already, paisano. You's hurtin' my guts muscles! The lass landed safely in the Big T and is with loved ones as I type. Appreciate the kind sentiment. She has a list a meter long of items she is to haul home for daddy. Growing up with a Scottish mum who frequently traveled 'hame' for family needs, I'm familiar with and OK with the women in my life traveling abroad for any sort of family issues. Whatever shall come, we deal with it the best we can. You know how it goes. Keep rocking it up there and hanging tough up there in the N CA desert, brother.

In SE Oregon here, and I'd have to make it to Boise, Id. Had a good laugh years back when running the Columbia Gorge. Saw a huge sign for Chinese/American cuisine from the freeway. Name of the restaurant was the Shamrock. I love it! 'Welcome to most authentic Chinee Shamrockee! May take order, prease?'

Looks awfully good!
I spent time working in both of Californias China Towns back in the 90’s, a guy can certainly eat well there.
Spent time with your daughters on the ice you say, what is this “ice” you speak of asks the guy with a place in Northern Minnesota? We haven’t had much if any.
Great pics, thank you.

I am not allowed there. Maine should treat armed Massholes like they treat armed Maniacs.
