Thanks for posting this.
I’ve been using the chef nino Caribbean blend for a change of pace, really works well for any seafood tacos, fish or shrimp),
I need to make my own mix like this though. We don’t like a lot of red pepper.
Thanks again

Well last year it could be said he messed up one of the cars he owns, the 23, in the run to get in the playoffs, so agree with others, the 11 goes for the win. Bubba’s quote was something like, “In the past I would have called him a dumb@ss but he’s my boss”.
re: Is it possible to do Spain and Portugal Justice in two weeks?
Posted by NorCali on 2/16/26 at 6:11 am to Royalfishing
I guess I will be the contrarian here and say yes, but obviously can’t go as deep.
I have been to both Barcelona and Madrid for work with some built in time to explore. 2 full days in each place was more than sufficient, especially Barcelona. I would say that you should plan to “eat” your way across Spain as much as anything with regard to the regional variations in “tapas”. don’t say the word “Catalonia” in Madrid but do get the Crema Catalana in Barcelona. And because the Spanish eat so late, your body will be less effected by the time changes.
If you stroll La Rambla in Barcelona (shops and street vendors and markets), be aware of the extremely high risk of what colleagues described as professional pick pockets (all day) and highly aggressive prostitutes at night.
Obviously there are some trade offs, for instance walking around the outside of the Gaudi basilica vs standing in the absolute absurd lines to go inside is the difference of half a day. The hop on, hop off open buses with tour guides are good from what I was told to get a quick view of the high points. Do a dinner and watch Flamenco dancing in Madrid for more authentic.
I have yet to get to Portugal but have been told Lisbon is incredible and affordable. Plan to go home with more checked bags than you came with from your shopping.
Enjoy the trip and “Visca Catalunya!”

It is a wonderful celebration.
But some of this video is AI. Look at how the fireworks are going off in the middle of the crowd with the Jaguar floats.
It’s not necessary to do AI as it is a special event so not sure why someone would do this?

It’s simple because of the hyper-aggressive tax approach of the state of California. If you have not experienced it, then it is really hard to comprehend. Count yourself fortunate.
In this case, the position is that any incentives in a contract anywhere in the country (world?) that are tied to a performance that is taking place in that state is taxable revenue. No one has successfully challenged the power of the, ironically named, Franchise Tax Board.
