The Best Tacos in Fresno

, ,

If you’re looking for the best tacos in Fresno, where would you go? To Chris Meat Market.

You know it means something when patrons comment on not being panhandled for money as a positive when visiting the Meat Market. So what can you expect? Cheap ($1.50) but very tasty tacos! Cash only please.

We had three tacos – carnitas, chicken, and chorizo. These were all in small corn tortillas with the protein chopped and prepped when ordered. Each taco had some zing to it but surprisingly, the chicken taco was the spiciest.

Washed all this down with some grapefruit soda.

Outside seating is available for eating but just a warning that you probably will be approached by panhandlers so takeout is highly recommended.

What Is This?

, ,

Dear readers, need some help identifying this item. We think it’s baby-related but can’t figure out what it actually is.

Since this item now belongs to an newly expecting couple, I told them it was a breast pump. 😉

Travel Tip: No Sausages

, , ,

Just a tip for the travelers. Don’t hand carry sausages on airplanes. If you do, expect delays at the security screening station. Must be those oblong, cylindrical solids look suspicious on the scanners. Doesn’t matter if it’s Portugese sausage or a salami, the TSA staff will want to look at your sausage.

Where Have the Ladybugs Gone?

, ,

The population of Ladybugs in North America is changing dramatically according to the Lost Ladybug Project. But I think I’ve discovered a new breeding ground. Look at all these Ladybugs!  Yes, all those reddish specks are Ladybugs.

I submitted these pics to the Lost Ladybug Project to help with their data collection and analysis.

An Almost Rainbow Circle

,

Forget the double rainbow, forget the mystical unicorn, and definitely forget planking. A rainbow circle is the next thing. I thought I experienced a rainbow circle and managed a partial picture.

A rainbow circle or just a refraction?

Alas, a rainbow is technically seen opposite the sun. So this picture can’t be a rainbow, just a refraction of light. Oh the sadness.

Gotta Try the Dam Diner

, ,

With a name like the Dam Diner, you have to give this eatery a try. Down the street from the San Joaquin Hatchery with a view of Friant Dam, the nondescript diner sits there on the side of the road.

On the menu, you can find typical American comfort food along with the Dam Specials and some other oddities. For the best of the menu, check out the Dam Diner’s reviews on Yelp.

I had to try their namesakes, the Dam Burger with curly fries and a chocolate shake. The burger tasted fresh, the curly fries were like any other curly fries, and the shake was good and even better since they gave all the extra shake.

Dam Burger

If you happen to be in the Friant area, you must eat at the Dam Diner. Just overlook the misspelling of “Fraint.”

A Volt in the Wild

, ,

Parked next to us was this different looking car. I couldn’t recognize it off-hand, and no wonder. It’s a new electric Chevy Volt that I’d never seen in person. But there it was, spotted in the wild.
