re: Evangeline bread

I always liked it.

Loved driving past where they make it in Lafayette and smelling it and seeing the billboard with the loaf of bread that spun around.

eta: haven't had it 10-15 years, so don't know if it's still good.

They also make really good sweettarts also. Like the ones in the little pack with two in it. I don't remember their name for it, but someone had them at work.
I hate the time changes, but I'd rather have standard time.

Even though it had been around a while, cable tv really took off in the 80s. Along with this came the beginning and rise of the 24 hour news cycle, which has lead to a lot of our problems.

re: Where to get good tomatoes?

If you don't find anything fresh, the Dei Fratelli canned tomatoes sounds like that. Much sweeter than others, and I believe they come from up that way.

Bank of America charges me a fee if my savings is under $500


Bank of America is the absolute worst bank I've ever had an account with. If that was my only option, I'd just bury my money in the yard.
I bank with Chase and my only complaint is the local branch. It has only one teller, and there's a big table where everyone else sits waiting. There's someone that comes and helps the next person there, but whoever it is asks you out loud what you need and puts your business out there for everyone else to hear.

I've complained enough the manager takes me straight to his office when I go in. If he didn't do that I would change to a different bank.

It's a damn good series. Just finished Spook Street. After I get a little further, will have to check the show out.
In undergrad, there was a girl in a class that started emailing all the news stations, and record companies for some reason, saying that the professor was a cannibal and that she and the rest of the students were running a chicken fighting ring where they gambled and would not let her take part.

They told her she had to get an evaluation before she could come back to class. She never showed back up.

re: Coke and peanuts? (Farmer’s coke)

That's what my dad always did, but he drank Pepsi. He'd stop at the store and buy a Pepsi and small bag of peanuts. When he got back to the car, he would drink a little of the Pepsi then pour the peanuts in. Never tried it myself.

In later 40s, grew up in South Carolina.

My favorite is the Gold. Goes well with anything like a all purpose bbq sauce.


That's what I usually get, but I add some malt vinegar and mustard to make in tangy.

I was little then, but he seemed like a good governor. I do remember that he was very popular when his governor term ended.

He did get Alzheimer's, and wasn't very old at all.
