re: Serops on Corporate closing.
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 12/26/25 at 6:25 pm to RunninReb
Last time I went to Albasha I paid nearly $50 for a shawarma, grape leaves, and iced tea. This is like 90% rice, garbanzo beans, and lettuce. I love the food but I just won't do it anymore.
re: Tips for adding shrimp to Mac and cheese?
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 12/24/25 at 8:11 am to OysterPoBoy
Boudreaux's served Shrimp Mac at my sister's wedding last month. It was fantastic. I've never made it but would sautee cleaned shrimp in butter before adding to the mac and baking it off.
I have made Lobster Mac, also delicious. This is a whole different process though.

I knew I was getting old when I went to the eye doctor and she told me "we don't call them bifocals, we call them progressives."

Ours was broken when we bought the house. I had to dig it out with a prybar. We replaced it with an undercounter ice machine.

Did anyone try them? They are the size of a baby's arm. I've never seen anything like that caught locally but I'm not very educated on it.
re: Barbecue Knives and Leather Roll
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 12/11/25 at 5:02 pm to TXTIGERTAIL
I've owned just about every type of knife from Henkel to Shun, Global, Dexter, a Cutco, and a Japanese carbon steel I'm actually afraid to use in case of damage.
Over the last year I've been replacing pieces with mostly Dalstrong. It's all over Youtube and Amazon so I was skeptical, but they are surprisingly nice and a great value I find.
I would go with an 8" chef knife. I own the Shun and the Dalstrong below, you can't go wrong with either. The Dalstrong is heavier, which I like. My knife roll is also linked. You'll come in well below $300, or you could also pick up a nice pair of shears, a Dexter slicer, or Dexter filet.

re: ThermoWorks Products Are On Sale. Question Regarding RFX Wireless Probe Kit
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 12/2/25 at 8:27 pm to Earthquake 88
I've owned two sets of wireless thermometers - 1) Thermopro Tempspike model that would drop connection repeatedly and need to be reset; 2) early gen Meater that turned into a brick after some firmware update. Both went in the trash, probably $300 worth of hardware.
I'm currently using a Thermopro TP20 with a standalone base that is reliable and accurate. My thermometer and cell phone should not interact in any way.

re: Do you still cut your own grass or do you hire it out?
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 11/6/25 at 7:52 pm to white beans
I'm allergic to fresh cut grass...literally. Skin welps, runny eyes and nose then a cough, and finally a long bout of bronchitis if I don't cool it. Call me a p*ssy if you like.
I did my own but gave it up years ago. My neighbors today are all elderly. We have a 4-plot on the neighborhood corner and all use the same guy for 10+ years. He charges me $80 bi-weekly, and I routinely tip $20. So ~$200/month for 1-acre with steep ditches and many obstacles. It would take me a full Saturday and leave me miserable. I'll miss that deal when it's gone.
He helps cleaning up bushes, beds, and trees in off-season. We give a very nice tip before Thanksgiving, and even had his family over for a crawfish boil. My in-laws started with him, he is basically part of the family now.
He offers down-on-the-luck guys, including parolled convicts, an opportuniy. I did that when I ran my own business and can understand the sentiment. Never any problems.
Look for a guy like this. They are rolling around everywhere.

re: TDS induced self cannibalism: Stormy Daniels
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 11/6/25 at 6:55 pm to BoomerandSooner
I went to high school with Stormy. Scotlandville Magnet circa 1993-5. I have a yearbook with her photo. Out of all the engineers and scientists that school churned out, a porn star is the most famous of the bunch.
When my buddy got married we did the party at Gold club. She was semi-famous by then and on tour, we specifically planned it out. We sent buddy on stage and she did the bachelor's lapdance.
After close we all hung out in the parking lot a bit and caught up. She was driving some supercar none of us could afford. I don't agree with whetever politics, but she's actually a pretty cool chick...or was then, no idea now. My Stormy story of the day -

re: Anyone have a “fix” for insomnia?
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 10/29/25 at 7:59 pm to Arthur Bach
Man, sleeping til 7 or 8 AM is wild to me. My first alarm is 4:15, second 4:30. I'm usually wide awake an hour earlier, years of plant life and commute, different lifestyle I guess. I wake before 4AM on weekends without the alarm. I work with a guy who says I sleep too late and his normal wake up is 2:30.
I suffer insomnia about once/week and its becoming more frequent. Wake around 11-1AM and sleep no more. My Mom suffers too, and says its only downhill from where I'm at. I can make it on 3-4 hours but less will probably get me killed on the job. When I have a bout, the next night I'm usually down 6-7 hours. I can't take THC and refuse to try the prescriptions. I think my body tells me what I need.
My routine is bed at 7PM, TV with sleep timer and very low volume for one hour. Black out curtains closed. Small snack of nuts or seeds. No touching the phone and I'm out. The rest is a gamble but works for now.

Best blender ever made. I have a 5200 that's gotta be pushing 20 years old. One of my favorite kitchen toys. The blades are still sharp and the container looks pretty good, no idea how this is even possible.
I did not know they make a food processor bundle. I will investigate.
edit: Nope, not compatible with my old base, which will probably outlive me.

I have the smallest Recteq they made from about 8 years ago and it has been all the pellet grill needed for my family of 4, including smoking briskets, turkeys, and hams for 15 on holidays. I think I paid $700 with frieght and tax, use it 3-4 times per month, still rolling strong.
re: Sammy’s On Highland!
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 8/21/25 at 7:28 pm to LSUDad
I think the Sammy's in Central closed before Covid. The food was always awful and overpriced. I was generally forced to eat there, and more often than not, pay the bill. The building was great but now in disrepair. Something needs to happen with it, tear it down and turn it into a four-plex with multiple options?
Southside Produce could buy the whole thing, raze it, and make a killing. It's 1000 ft away from CHS and the Big Walmart. I just want a fruit stand in Central, who's in? :lol:

re: Another Cracker Barrel thread. Stock price takes a major dive!
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 8/21/25 at 6:48 pm to WildcatMike
We quit Cracker Barrel because of a booger.
Road trip family of four, stopped at Craker Barrel since we knew what we were getting into. Three meals came out quickly, and the waitress returned to explain my wife's (no pic) would take a few more minutes. BIG GNARLY BOOGER flapping in and out the left nostril with each breath. Like a horse booger, clearly visible across the room as she was walking towards us.
She came back with the wife's food, and boogerzilla is gone. Her food went in a box untouched, then straight in the trash outside. I left a good tip just for the entertainment factor, we still talk about it and laugh.
My son and I would still occasionally sneak off to Craker Barrel for a chicken fried steak, but sadly we eat there as a family no more. The food has fallen off recently anyway. RIP
