One of our patients here brought in a bunch of impanadas which are basically a fried taco. I had one and it was so yummy!
I also love empanadas. But my favorites are arrepas!
 
More interested in the pastry chef position actually! Now that the kids are getting slightly less needy, might try getting back into making more desserts--which doesn't really align with our fitness goals... Hrmmm
I'm into Fitness too!

Fitness here taco in my mouth!
 
I’ve never seen my cleaner shrimp clean any of my fish. The only fish that approached him like a car wash was the sick orange shoulder I lost.

He is a voracious eater during my manual feeding time though.

Do they only clean the larger fish like tangs? I only have the chocolate.

Maybe I should give back to LFS to lessen bioload on a CUC I don’t really need?

Thoughts from peeps who’ve kept them?
I replied on Frank's thread.
 
Sorry guys, not a lot upsets me but I want to just say it really bothers me that the guy that won the May POTM was 4 days after the cutoff. There were some great pictures that made the deadline that were beat out unfairly.

Ok, rant and complaining is over.

Couldn't agree more Tim.

I wasn't a contestant. Mine didn't make the cut

A picture that was late made it over yours. Yours was way better. I believe you said this before, but the only reason people voted for it was because of the coral; not the quality of the picture.

I think Jojo said that, but it's not wrong. They're beautiful corals his was just super altered.
 
It didn't bother me much that the photo was altered, but it bothered me that it was posted after the expiration date and they still chose it and left yours out, And to make matters worse, the invalid photo beat Walker by 2 or 3 votes I think, I'm sorry for the boy who won, but I left my indirect comment in the post
 
I'm not sorry. He was late. It's true though. If the date posted is a soft date, don't post a date. If the date posted is a hard date, stick to it.

Yea what's the point of having a date if they aren't going to follow it. I'm really disappointed in them.
 
I'm sorry guys (and gals). I wasn't trying to incite a riot. I was frustrated. I'm over it now. Let's let it not ruin the day?
