How I imagine you leaving. LOL

 

I don't fully understand how the "snow days" here work. They'll announce that buses are cancelled but classes are not. How is that safer? Or maybe classes are optional? I've been told if it's very cold, schools will be open so no kids who make it there freeze to death.

The latest one we had was last Wednesday. It was about -20F so buses were cancelled because they were "running late". But it hadn't snowed in quite a while so it's not like the highways were dangerous or anything. Just makes the bus drivers seem like wimps, in my opinion.

 

Are the buses diesel? 20 below is rough on diesels if they aren't just flooded with antigel, and even with that and a block heater, there's going to be delays.

 

True enough. I hadn't thought about getting them started. But if you can get your bus running, then there's no excuse. My grandfather used to get diesel tractors running on the farm when it was really cold, though. There are oil warmers and other things that can help. (The livestock still need to be fed and watered regardless of how cold it is.)

 

This is true, but guberment's are known for keeping useless employees that do the minimum. Maybe they didn't plug in warmers, or didn't use antigel in the fuel.

 

Also, I think the diesel sold here has to have a pour point of minus forty-something. Not quite as low as jet (-60ish) but it's down there.

 

Maybe you're right and the drivers, or somebody higher up, is a wuss and just didn't want to work that day.

 

LMAO

You have the beer, and I'll try the ceviche. IDK if it's good, but I'd give it a shot.

 

I've never had it. Not something I'd go pay money for because it's risky. If I knew somebody that made it and it was generally reviewed as good by "experts" then I wouldn't refuse to try it. That's all I'm saying.

 

Cooking up??? I'm pretty sure you just let the 'acid of choice' do all the work w/ceviche... now I'm hungry

Man, I miss San Diego... we had a great fish taco place that made an incredible ceviche!!!!

The top ones are 'surf and turf' (steak and shrimp); one battered fish taco on the bottom right; two grilled mahi on the left


Simple high quality food done right!!!!!!!

 

Too much soap lettuce and gritty crisco.



I actually wish I liked avocado, because those look pretty appetizing.

 

If you'd like to try it sometime, let me know, and I'll walk you through making it for yourself; and since you're pulling the ingredients yourself it'll be fresh, safe, and made w/your favorites!!!!!

But, since you don't drink beer we'll have to pick out a great drink to pair w/it (gin/vodka tonic, wine, other mixed cocktail). Sorry, but you can't drink monsters w/your ceviche!!!!

 

Very kind, but seafood in Wyoming isn't exactly fresh. LOL

Also, it's not just beer that I avoid. I don't drink any alcohol. Too may bad experiences with other people drinking, and I'm terrified I'd fall in the bottle and never come out.

 

If you don't like avocado, you could always run a light crema; you just want a light balanced fat w/a splash of acid (lime juice) on there; and don't want anything that overpowers the flavors of the delicate mahi

 

I don’t normally drink beer, but when I do….. avocado

 

Not a problem; one mocktail coming up; just make a light and refreshing lime and tonic; perfect balance w/your ceviche!!!!!!

...or might I suggest a simple Yoohoo!!!!!

 

I like the lime juice on regular tacos, so I'd be down for it here. Not sure what "light crema" is. I'm a culinary retard. Is that going to be something like sour cream? Or, could I use guacamole instead of avocado? It's really just the texture that gets me.

 

Crema is kinda like sour cream, but you've got to be super light w/it on fish; so, I'd probably mix it up w/a little EVOO and lime juice... Yes guacamole would be fine, but you've got to be careful w/that cuz most have onions and hot peppers in it; so, again, you don't want to overpower the fish. Now if you make your own, and just kinda smash up the avocado, add a little lime, and a small dab or 2 of crema... you'd be good to go, then just give the tortilla a light smear of it, or drizzled over the top!!!!!


This is a decent one that's easy to find in most dairy sections...

 

Is it warm? I struggle with cold shrimp, but again, I'd try it. How is it consumed? In tortillas? Just spoon it in the maw?

 

Gracias. Now I have to see if I remember next time I'm craving Mexican food.
