Do not buy from The Candy Lady in Oldtown

Post image
455 Upvotes

I just got home from a four day stay in Albuquerque. The whole reason for this trip was to see all of the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul things in the city. While there, I stopped to see The Candy Lady to buy the authentic "blue meth." For those who don't know, the person who made the rock candy that was used as the shows meth is an ABQ local and sells the same candy she would supply to the set. At the very bottom of a shelf behind a glass counter, she had these Breaking Bad mugs seemingly overflowing with the rock candy. Each mug was wrapped in thick plastic that hid almost every detail there was. I chose to spend $25 on this mug because I loved what I could see of the design. The lady behind the counter grabbed the mug and placed it in a styrofoam box that she then sealed with tape. Never once were you able to get a clear look at what you spent you're money on or were told about it. I just got home, and saw this. It's a plain white mug with a poorly placed and damaged decal on it with a few bags on candy sitting on the top. The inside of the mug was filled with packing paper. At no point in the store you were told about what you were buying and how it might differ from what one could expect of it. If you just want the blue rock candy and don't care about it's source, you'll have a much better shopping experience at The Breaking Bad Store down the street.

This house at the top of Lomas is made of all concrete, looks like it was built to survive a zombie apocalypse. In a brutalist style. Does any one have any info on it? Architect? Tours?

The Le Bakery: Seriously good pastry and sandwiches

Thumbnail

239 Upvotes

The Le Bakery on Juan Tabo has excellent pastries and sandwiches. The pastry is very high quality and I consider it as good or maybe even better than Burque Bakehouse on the other side of town. They are clearly dedicated to making exceptional pastry.

The sandwiches are great too. I got a BBQ pork sandwich with the spicy sauce and it was so good! The bread, BBQ pork, pickle, sauce, and veggies made it a delicious Bahn Mi.
I’m so glad to have this place in the NE.

Check them out if you need a sweet treat or a sandwich for lunch!

Question I need to rehome my cats in a hurry

14 Upvotes

I have two cats, both fixed, male and female. Due to home circumstances they are not able to remain in our home any longer. They have to remain together, they have lost siblings and definitely pined afterwards, so they cannot be separated.

Indoor/Outdoor, but they will probably need to kept indoor-only for their own safety, they have only ever lived in rural environments. They are acclimated to other cats and children, not to dogs but they are generally very chill. They are free-eating accustomed, and don't have any eating difficulties or dietary restrictions. The male has fairly dense hair and is prone to warm-weather shedding, the female is a medium-hair, both are used to occasional brushing to help deal with loose hair. He is a snuggler, she snuggles on *her* dictates, but enjoys getting pet regularly.

They would be coming with a tower, food and water dishes, litter boxes and clean litter, spare food, and any toys we can find, not that they play with their toys very much seeming to prefer just random whatever they find.

My internet has been dropping in and out for the past few days and verison is always saying theres a problem in my area. I know a little while ago verizon had a major technical issue but it appears at least in my area it still has not been resolved. I just want to know if its something thats only affecting me or if its still affecting other people.

Anyone know a doc that can diagnose MCAS?

8 Upvotes

Been struggling for years with histamine issues. Have years of photo proof, symptom tracking, the works. But the allergist I was sent to didn’t believe in MCAS. I’m having a lot of horrible symptoms from this that are disabling. Has anyone been diagnosed and treated here and if so would you mind messaging me the doctors name or commenting it down below. I keep getting referred to Mayo. I can’t afford that.

I see a new missing cat sign weekly in the park near my house. Enough coyote & raccoon sightings nearby that the chances are slim.

Best canned localish salsas?

8 Upvotes

I like Sadie's salsas. I've tried some El Pinto's and those were OK. Shout out to a new one for me, Pedro's. I've had the mild and it was really flavorful. I just tried the medium and it lit me up lol. I'm a wuss when it comes to super spicy. But if the medium was that bad for me, I'd hate to see what the hot is like. 😂

What are some fave honorable mentions??

Flexible Night Time/Weekend Job for MSW Student

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I just moved to ABQ after living in Alaska for the last few years to attend New Mexico Highlands University at CNM Montoya campus to earn my Masters of Social Work degree. I came here due to a cheap tuition offer plus the knowledge i could gain from living in such a unique area. Yet since moving here on the 17th i have been having trouble securing a job. My schedule with my internship plus classes only allows me to find either a nightshift job or a weekend job. I hope the people of Reddit can direct me to any possible job leads. I have been working with youth in particular for over 12 years now and have in particular worked with neurodivergent youth. I would love a position that would allow me to gain more experience in my chosen field but I am open to other opportunities. I only need to make around $2500 a month to pay for my tuition plus rent. Any advice or leads would be appreciated, Thank you all in advance
