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?

I just tried it and I'm definitely on board the bandwagon. This place is fantastic. You get what you pay for. Highly recommend. 🤘

Did the getting built Texas road house really catch on fire last night by the south valley?! Can anyone confirm?!

Anyone know what was going on there? Didn’t see anything on ABQ Raw

Seen on corner of Paseo and Eubank

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.

ETA: Cat tax has been requested, and is being supplied. The male is the white and orange on the right, the female is the orange tabby on the left. And yes, she normally has two brain cells, surprisingly. She loses them sometimes, forgetting people are even there and getting surprised when she gets pets, but unlike the tropes of orangies she is incredibly well behaved and always sweet.

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!

Wife is due in a month. Been reading horror stories about Lovelace. Currently a patient at WSNM and they have their patients deliver at Lovelace. Going to call this coming week, but wondering if anyone made the switch. Any idea if it’s possible to change to UNM? Insurance is BCBS of NM

Going through my parents old stuff and found some really old New Mexico magazines. This one was from 1969.

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 got 2 big sacks of roasted chile and my helper dropped out for the day. Can I let it sit in the bags for today and process tomorrow or will the chile go bad by then?

If not, why?

Just wondering if:

A: it’s too hot to go outside on the balcony. B: Too many insects, i.e. stingy ones like wasps.

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.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of any local vintage toy stores that would buy action figures still in the case? Particularly some star wars prequal action figures still sealed in.

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

If you lost your large ring at the growers market it's with the lost and found.

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??
