Jan 3 MissEli commented on Easy Street Records to Close Queen Anne Store Jan. 18.

Dang it.

I still have Sonic Boom, but do people have recommendations for other good record stores?

Jan 3 MissEli answered a bunch of weird questions about himself or herself.

Nov 22, 2012 MissEli commented on What Are You Making for Thanksgiving?.

We're heading to the 5-Point for dinner because we don't have family here and haven't hooked into a Friendsgiving tradition. But for breakfast/brunch, I made biscuits and gravy, and when I get back, I'm going to experiment with making a cranberry vodka relish with apple cider and candied lemon peel instead of orange zest.

@77 Thanks, I missed that. I had a friend in law school -- Mormon -- who made the "hot drinks" argument to justify not being able to drink coffee or tea, but able to slam Red Bulls during finals.

Not that this is the most authoritative source, but ... http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/wh…

Mormons are prescribed from ingesting "hot drinks" like coffee and tea. Wouldn't hot chocolate be on the list of no-go drinks for Mr. & Mrs Romney (was about to use a nickname but thought better of it)?

Silly me. And as to Bethany's question - I find Rancho Brava in Wallingford a good meal if I'm out that way or El Camion has closed. But I wouldn't say it was equal to Pancho Villa (Mission, San Mateo), Taqueria San Jose (Mission, North Beach, San Jose) or La Michoacána (San Mateo) [which also did Salvadorean food].

That is something I miss here - Michoacán-style Mexican restaurants.

@72 - You're my hero. How long did it take you to stop saying Native American terms with Spanish pronunciation? Because I'm still so tempted ...

Funny thread.

Reposting over here: Where, in Seattle, can I get CRISPY carnitas? Danke!

Jun 22, 2012 MissEli commented on With or Without a Lake of Melted Cheese.

Cool article, love the comments.

I'm a recent transplant from the Bay Area, and I'm near the Ballard El Camion and it assausges some of the homesickness ... but!

Where, in Seattle, can I get CRISPY carnitas? For you Bay Area transplants, I'm talking Taqueria San Jose style.

Anyone?

Feb 24, 2012 MissEli commented on Why Seattle  Needs a Stupid  New Sports Arena.

An idea for the Stranger's editors -- have Goldy interview/debate Dave Zirin (http://www.edgeofsports.com/index.html) about stadiums deals in general, and what we know of the Seattle proposal.
