re: Switzerland in 1 Month
Posted by robchand58 on 5/3/24 at 10:16 am
Full disclosure: Son is in a band playing in several clubs, then a huge truckers festival in Interlaken. So we're traveling between Zurich, Erlach and Interlaken. Would LOVE to use the Visa card for everything - that's the plan, but not sure about small shops, street vendors, cabs and the like....

Natchitoches Area (my pre-Covid Memory) Current residents will edit me: Lasyones is the bench mark meat pie there. I remember it being more pie than meat, so I frequent a gas station on the other side of the interstate exit for mine. Pioneer Pub had good bar food, the Wookie appetizer and the g...

I am depending greatly on my Visa card while in Switzerland, but roughly how much cash (Swiss Francs) should I carry around daily? Thanks for your wisdom here.....
re: Recommend an indoor tv antenna
Posted by robchand58 on 4/13/24 at 4:15 pm
Whatever you get, make sure it is suitable for UHF [b]AND[/b][u] AND[/u] VHF. The legacy BTR TV stations are still VHF. If its a true indoor antenna, the best placement is in or near a window facing th BTR transmission towers, which from St Amant should be just north of due West....

re: Passenger Van Rental (9 seater)

We just took a Ford Connect 13-passenger to and from Orlando for 5 people.. Was surprisingly good on gas, had plenty of USB ports inside for the phone folks. Rear seats are VERY slim, had good room for luggage. Back of van is very noise and very bumpy. Front of van is pretty stable and much quiet...

I've attached some old pictures I have of her at the Moon at LSU, and one i took of her during our visit.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, as she keeps all of you in hers.

Update on Momma: Visited here 2-9-2024. Much to my surprise, she answered the door. No sickbeds for her. She says she is not in any pain, and is happy all of her babies are calling on her. She says that justified the investment she made in people all those years.
She had surgery a while bac...

Been a bit since we went.. But there was a really inexpensive Food Court in the MGM. Nathan's Hot Dogs, McDonalds, the like.
If you do Fremont Street-and you should, the Mob Museum is a short walk - couple of blocks. Also a short walk is Container Park. Its's a cute little area made of sto...

Just went and saw Seabell today. Looks a lot better, voice is strong. She is seeing the oncologist tomorrow (1/2/23) to learn more about her cancer and what treatment they will follow. As for her cookbook.. They do have a few hardbacks left, but no real organized sale effort. If you want one,...

Next time I'm there, I'll ask and post it here. Be aware that there are several errors in the book. The fried chicken recipe starts with "50 pounds of chicken" when it meant 5 lbs. Stuff like that. Pretty easy to reason through. Recipes aside, her life story in the back is worth the price of th...

There is no hard count on how many of her 'babies' she fed for free while the Silver Moon was operating. A lot of the homeless in the area would wait some tables and help clean the place for their meals. Momma was a one-woman army for the poor folks.

Posted by robchand58 on 12/25/23 at 5:13 pm
Those of you in Baton Rouge may have seen a TV story about Momma's Feed The Hungry Program in North Baton Rouge, feeding over 400 families for Christmas this year. The report said that Momma could not be there this year. You may remember that 'Momma' is Seabell Thomas, who ran and cooked huge mea...
re: Memphis Area BBQ
Posted by robchand58 on 12/15/23 at 11:01 am
Rendezvous gets all the media love, and trades heavily in tourist traffic. It's not 'true' barbecue, as the ribs are grilled for an hour, not smoked as traditional BBQ is. Their dry rib 'rub' leans heavily on paparika, from their Greek origins. I'm not hating on them, as I've been there many time...

Second the recommendation on Cozy Corner. Also, their BBQ Cornish Game hens are on point. As for Tops, (and I've only been to their Union Ave place) their cheeseburger is the star there....
