We had a little car before without air. It was rough but I made sure to never keep him in for long periods of time. It was certainly better than waiting on the side of the road for the bus or walking. Thanks for the links, I am going to look into Craigslist posting. That car for 2k looks like a grea...
Thanks guys. I am a little nervous with the little lots but was hoping there would be one that wasn't as terrible. I live near LSU, so I will try scouting for students wanting to get rid of their old rusty buckets....
Jefforize, I would jump on the deal if it were real and available to me. I'm just looking at something less than 1500 to tide me over until I can save a little more to get a better vehicle. Getting to school, work, and daycare in a reasonable amount of time is a little difficult with a toddler on th...
Are those users here looking to sell their cars? @jimbeam...
I'm looking for a bucket with wheels. I don't care if its ugly, if it whines, or does not have air conditioning. I just want to put a car seat for my son in it and drive from school, work and home which is less than 20-30 miles a day. I know I am not going to get anything long lasting for cheap. I a...

That's awesome! I will definitely try that next time! I tried searching on the board but I don't think I was looking hard enough! I would have died for that! I've been trying and failing at roux for the past four hours! Edit: I didn't notice your username! I think your gumbo was linked in a stic...

Thank you for responding! And the cold/hot info is especially useful! I had no idea! Do you have a temp you normally work at? Or do you adjust to needs more hear vs oshit it's burning?...

Roux trouble

Long time lurker here. I've made a lot of your recipes and really enjoyed them! I'm not the best cook but I am some what capable in the kitchen. However, I am having a lot of trouble with roux for gumbo. I love everyone's gumbo but mine. I just want to cook a decent batch for once. I am on my t...
