Yorkshire Gold, two sugars, splash of evaporated milk.

Good point, I didn’t catch that

Shiloh all the way.

My husband says pobcorn just to fuck with me, I hate it so bad but I can’t help laughing

Yup! Every time I see a post deriding NJ, I feel the need to post a love letter to NJ as a rebuttal haha

Casino & boardwalk are easy to do together. Those are both on the shoreline. There are loads of wineries so depending on what you felt like doing, it would be easy to squeeze that in too. The nice thing about New Jersey is that it isn’t huge, so if you’re up for a bit of driving you can see a lot.

Ahh I’d had something about Princeton but I must’ve lost it in editing! Yeah Princeton is beautiful :)

Yes, quite a lot actually!

I know this is hard to believe for people who only hear stereotypes about our state, but New Jersey has a lot of natural beauty. Northwest NJ and the Delaware Water Gap area have a lot of beautiful forested areas, and the Delaware River is so crisp and clear up there. Great for kayaking and tubing! All along the Delaware in Central NJ there are cute river towns like Frenchtown, Stockton, Lambertville, and Washington’s Crossing. These are really cute little downtowns with bars & restaurants, shops, and live entertainment. Plus with Lambertville there’s New Hope right across the bridge. We have farmstands with fresh Jersey corn, tomatoes, and peaches all over the place (remember, we’re the Garden State!), plus loads of local wineries. The Pine Barrens are beautiful for hiking and biking. Then we’ve got the shore. I will grant that NJ beaches don’t hold a candle to some other places further south along the eastern seaboard (though I will say that the beaches with tags are a pretty good experience), but you don’t really go down the shore just for the beaches. You go for the boardwalks, plus the casinos in Atlantic City. We also have Great Adventure, which I think every Jersey kid grows up going to.

And we have pork roll, the best breakfast meat ever.

So yeah, come check us out. You might be surprised!

Dude you’re 20 and married‽ Why didn’t you lead with that??

Nice balanced answer. Also curious, what’s your opinion on tan suits?

Mustard on a burger. Acceptable?

Yup!

Once in a great while, I have a brain fart and tell the restaurant host “two for non”.

Oh fuck same here.

Looks like Boris Johnson.

Better run run run run run run run run away

They’d have to prove there was a plan.

I always thought “Robin laid an egg” was wordplay for “Robin farted”, especially because it comes after “Batman smells”.

Haha we were all obnoxious young punks at one time. Probably why I love Authority Song so much.

I’m glad you like the rec!

He’s always had a big noggin.

Yeah they’re both in their early to mid 70s now. Both had music out in the '80s & '90s, and both embraced a blue collar vibe, albeit in different ways.

My favorite Mellencamp song is Authority Song
