That explains why you guys weight 140 lbs soaking wet
I may have shared this one: Semi-Pro is Will Ferrell's best movie.
I made chorizo and egg tacos for breakfast today. You can all think what you want, but you're wrong.
What made that superior to regular tacos with chorizo? The egg? Thereby making it "breakfast"? Why not just make awesome tacos and declare that awesome tacos are awesome at any time of day?
IMO, the eggs act as a great protein companion to the chorizo - which has a very overpowering flavor. Having the tacos with just chorizo wouldn't be substantial enough to be very satisfying on their own.

get some good salsa, maybe some pickled onions or peppers, helps offset nicely
IMO, it still needs something that adds weight to the taco - something lettuce, tomato, cheese, salsa, guac, peppers and onions just can't do. The chorizo I use comes in a tube and cooks into very fine chunks.
Other proteins wouldn't be able to pair with this chorizo like the eggs do.
You're weird. Chorizo has way more flavor than your standard seasoned ground beef
That's not even an opinion, it's an undisputed fact.
Mad Men is so, so inconsistent. When it's good (season 5 all around, The Chrysanthemum and the Sword, The Suitcase, at least one scene or detail per episode) it's outstanding television. It's wildly ambitious for a show with such a seemingly narrow scope (an advertising agency on Madison Ave over the course of a decade). But for every bit of brilliance in set/costume design, there's a weakness in dialogue or writing or acting, or especially editing. January Jones and Jon Hamm are really average actors. The show leans pretty heavily on John Slattery. Season 6, episode 1-2, that 90 minute premier, is a perfect example of all this inconsistency. They tried to cram so, so much into 90 minutes, and at the same time there were exceedingly awkward and confusing jump cuts (door man heart attack, Betty at St. James Place, Don with the Dr's wife). And maybe shows like Sopranos have made it impossible for television to do great psychology sessions (voyeuristic but detached, insight into psychology of characters, seeing a different side of characters), but Roger Sterling in a shrink's office was just bad television when it could have been so good. Then his crying over the shoe shine boy's death instead of his mother's was a great way to end the episode.
I've rewatched now 3 times trying to make myself understand what is so great about the show, but I'm pretty well convinced now that it doesn't belong in the pantheon of really great television of the last 10 years. Far too inconsistent.
Did I say it needs something that adds flavor? No. I said it needs something that adds weight. Heft. Something additional that is filling. I guess potatoes or refried beans might do in a pinch, but eggs work so well and are much easier.
posting on the wrong thread accidentally is seriously un-bro
I interpreted it wrong....you're still weird though. Four ounces of meat is four ounces of meat.
What? Where does 4 oz. come from?
no i meant to post on this thread
is this not an unpopular opinion? everybody fucking drools over this show.
What's in your pantheon, Townie?
