Reply to I got 5 double yolks in a row by read_it948

It's remarkably common to find multiple double-yolked eggs packed together. In fact many retailers stock cartons of them.

This is frequently posted as interesting but really, it's not.

I like how the damage to the white trim under the door makes it look like someone half stepped out the door and took out a chunk of it on their way down.

Generally speaking, the kind of place that serves a $60 ribeye vs a $20 ribeye is going to have a vastly different dining experience. Better cocktails, better wine selection, better apps, better sides, better dessert, better service, better atmosphere. And the steak itself is likely to be a high quality piece of meat that is cooked properly, crusted and seasoned expertly, and is served at the temperature you ordered.

The best meal I've ever had in my life was at Joe's Steak and Seafood at Caesars Palace in Vegas. The steak was perfect, I still dream about the hash brown potatoes, and the service was immaculate. And I'm pretty sure after it was all said and done at two steaks, two sides, appetizer, couple of glasses of wine, dessert, with a healthy tip, it was probably around $250.

I also just ate at Longhorn (a steakhouse chain) last Friday and paid $24 for a strip that was quite yummy. I don't discriminate.

And like I said before, I'm not wealthy. Comfortably middle class. I haven't gotten into Wagyu or Kobe or any of the dry aged market price pay by the ounce shenanigans that can set you back $200 a steak. I think there's likely a point of diminishing returns. I can tell the difference between a $20 steak and a $60 steak, but am I going to be able to tell the difference between $60 to $180 steak and even if so, is it going to be worth the triplicate increase?

Only one way to find out but I'm not fiscally there yet.

That house next to it was just build two years ago. Yeah. They might have had to keep the facade to keep the property line. My mom died and I inherited her place and it's the same kind of situation. The pool deck and lanai are too close to the property line for today's standards. I can't redo it without shrinking it if I wanted to be to code.

Also... this place in MD also came with two additional lots for the money! How about that?!!?

Going to be seeing a lot of double yolks in the near future. They most often come from new layers, and with the outbreak of bird flu, many flocks had to be destroyed and replaced.
