"upper crust?" tried out the pie man's wares on friday and all i got was a small slice of cold quiche for $7 bucks made with a basic crust that tastes like crisco.
maybe they'll change crust recipes or get a microwave or learn how to use the oven or something. $7 is still a lot.
Agree with Anon 12:26 and Anon 12:33. Keep these sort of things coming. I like FT and look here first. I rarely look at other blogs and like that Inked keeps us up to speed on what's happening.
posting things from other blogs is a pretty regular blogger activity. H Street Great Street does regular 'Link Up' where they link to other blog postings (including Frozen Tropics). Start a new blog if you don't like this tactic.
Um, I got the link to the article from a Google auto search I have running, not from H Street Great Street. If I get info from another blog I'll say so and link to it. If I get the info from a Google search, you'll just see the info. I hadn't even read the H Street Great Street post when I put up this link, so I didn't copy anything. We both just independently linked to the same article. That's going to happen when you have multiple blogs covering the same area.
FWIW, I don't think Frozen Tropics copies HSGS or think that if she did repost an article that was already reposted on another blog that there'd be any need to mention that that another blog had linked to it too.
In support of Frozen Tropics: it's a go-to source for news for the H Street and Trinidad communities. Inked does some great original reporting but she also consolidates information from other sources which we might not be likely to see. Other blogs link to her as an authoritative source. Appreciate the gift that FT is to our community.
When Inked uses my information, she always credits me - @HStreetDC on Twitter - and I have never had a problem with that. All of us find and use material from other sources. Do I find it before Inked, HSGS, Pop, or others do? Who knows? It's all public domain. I find it, I use it.
I don't blog. All I do is tweet what I find as I roam H St. And I'm grateful if Inked considers what I find as worthy of repeating on Frozen Tropics.
The slice i had was warm and pretty darn good the sweet pie slices are six bucks i picked up three slices, maybe a bit steep but like i said it's good pie. Will i get a slice a week? .... Maybe! Glad they're finally open. Think six bucks is too much don't go there.
And another thing, why would any one be critical of FT? Don't like it don't read it.
finally tried DDPs on Wed night. My friend and I were both shocked at the lack of flavor our pies had! It was like the pie at thanksgiving that some cousin brings that none one wants to eat because there is some good pie on the table! Mine was supposed to be coconut, but honestly, it seemed like vanilla custard, and had no coconut flavor. I did think the crust was nice and had a homemade flavor but I almost sent it back to have them add some whipped cream or something to make it tasty. If this had been a dessert at a restaurant where I had just eaten I would have surely sent it back. It wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't good. I walked out wishing I were a long time resident of the neighborhood so i could point and laugh at all the fools spending 6 bucks for a slice of bad pie!
Guys, please be polite. Remember that these people are your neighbors. I ask also that anonymous users leave some kind of tag [e.g. big green cat] for the sake of being able to follow a thread. Be respectful and have fun.

When are you going to stop copying H St Great St posts? I think everyone who reads this blog prob reads that one too.

ReplyDeleteI don't have time to visit 10 blogs. I live in the neighborhood and appreciate/rely on Frozen Tropics as a clearing house.
Please, keep the linking up.
I second that. I come to Frozen Tropics first and rarely have time to go elsewhere. Keep the linking up.
ReplyDeleteYou should go to HSt GreatSt first and check out their side bar. It's much quicker than going to multiple sites.
ReplyDeleteI say keep being lazy and copying other posts. But least give credit to the source.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with 12th. Totally over-hyped venue with little to recommend it.

ReplyDeleteStop your fucking whining. HSGS and FroTro mirror one another regularly. As do PoP, DCMUD, and on occasion WaBizJournal.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog! Don't let the anonymous whiners get you down. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the blog and the 'hood.
ReplyDeleteStart a new blog if you don't like this tactic.
ReplyDeleteAnd then take the new blog and shove it up your ass! Down with whiners...
Everything sucks, and I have nothing better to do than to leave a comment here telling you about it in completely overstated terms.
ReplyDeleteAlso: Check out my blog. It's much better than this blog, and is the only thing that escapes my previous "everything sucks" comment.
Sincerely,

My only complain is that what's the point of serving a gourmet pie that costs $7 per piece that is cold. They should at least serve it warm.
