A year ago this would have probably worked. Now I doubt it because banks have gotten back to underwriting basics as the above posters described. LTV, debt/income ratios, etc.

I'm kind of surprised so many people drink cow's milk. I switched to soy milk about 2 years ago (about when I moved to CA...hmmmmm) because regular milk upset my stomach so much. My better half switched at the same time for convenience and hasn't seemed to mind. I don't think its a lactose thing...

Dinner A'Fare was a good time. I think I'd like to make it a regular thing as it seems to be a good way to pick up some recipes and to keep the freezer stocked with properly portioned meals that aren't full of preservatives. I was a bit skeptical of the concept but was really happy with the results.

No my mom never made croquetas so I don't know how. I think that's a regional thing maybe or my mom doesn't like them - who knows. I've bought the La Victoria "salsa brava" before and used it on patatas bravas. Not perfect but close enough and so convenient.

Ok, tortilla is pretty simple to make and a staple at our house. I make it with hot sauce though. But this t-shirt still reminded me of this thread. <img src="http://www.kukuxumusu.com/catalog/idb/catalog/AC0RLR31888_2.jpg" alt="" />

Funny you should say that Bk. Most women I know don't want the ground floor unit because its so much easier to break into. My old condo was on the 2nd floor of a second story garden style condo building and it was ideal. Not a lot of stairs and really only one way in. Plus the stairs in a garden...

Oh I have been meaning to go to <a href="http://www.blacksheepbistro.com/menupage2.htm">Black Sheep Bistro in Tustin</a> but that is more Catalan with some French and Italian thrown in too.

Yep that was pretty much my experience leaving the DC area for Spain and then moving back to DC. I couldn't imagine living in Spain forever but at the same time I was really not ready to leave. I was there on a consulting project so when the gig ended I left. I still occasionally kick the idea...

I'd definitely be up for that. We can talk options next time :) I've been writing covered calls for over a decade but just started doing other stuff lately.

I go to this gym. We also had a weird experience with the initial sales process. For instance, the guy said he was throwing in towel service for free and its turns out they don't even offer this service at this site. Which is partly why the machines are often covered in sweat! So so gross...

Yep, this thread is exactly what I thought it would be from reading the title. :)

Oh also I made the Cuban Pinon yesterday and it was awesome. I served it with rice and black beans as they suggested -which is very authentic. The best part is now I know how to make it again on my own. The only thing I'd change is I'd make it without raisins next time. I didn't hate it with...

Definitely a success! Thanks to SoCal and the other ladies who came. I had a great time and have a freezer packed with some pretty fancy meals for the family. I like the concept a lot and am thinking of going once a month or so to have some meals ready in case I am pinched for time or want to...

Great question Mike! My family hails from Spain and I too am looking for such a place. I once saw a place way out in Claremont (in the village) that totally looked perfect. The decor/vibe was straight out of Madrid or Barcelona but it was closed at the time - during one of the school breaks...

The art/frame gallery store in QH is liquidating I believe as well so that's a sure fire sign they are closing or at least relocating. They had everything at 50% off the other day but will ramp up to 70% I believe. I didn't see anything I liked that was worth the money imo but different strokes...

I can't help it when I read this I visualized this: <img src="http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:7s5XrUFam_FiyM:http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1433/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1433R-944614.jpg" alt="" /> Edit - I love that I was able to find the exact image that popped into my...
