re: Anyone else scared of heights?

Posted by 3oliv3 on 12/7/25 at 9:55 pm to
I think I get a little bit of vertigo when visiting places like Hoover dam, Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, etc. But it passes pretty quickly- kind of just like getting your sea legs under you offshore. The only time I’ve really been scared of heights is when the one year old was running around the balcony of the penthouse condo in Orange Beach. There was really no danger of him going over or through the bars but I never liked my kid being that close to anything like that. Maybe because I know the Eric Clapton story.

Makes sense, heat source closer to the dark meat so the breast on top doesn’t get dry.
Made it through yesterday at 3:30 PM without slowing down below 25mph thanks to the veterans ??

Try it with French/catalina dressing and salt and pepper.
I feel dumb after watching this bc I’ve driven over it a hundred times and never noticed there’s 2 pilings on one side and 3 on the other.
I do 99% of the cooking and cleanup which I enjoy. She does all the shopping which she enjoys. Every time she wants to cook it’s some soup or something she saw on Instagram or Facebook and I end up doing all the mise en place anyway- her knife skills are shite.
Featured holes are on ESPN+ for those in NOLA
They let 12 year olds post here now?

I had the shrimp and grits a few weeks ago and the shrimp was pulverized to mush. It was awful. Everything else with the service and apps and drinks was good though.

Yeah it’s not the most reliable simulator- I wouldn’t go there to get my numbers dialed in but can be fun for a group. They do pretty good deals they text out regularly for 50% off bays here in metry. Solid place, can skip the food.

Isn't Rory Northern Irish/British though?


He’s from NI but Catholic so it’s complicated.
Costco sells a toum that I think is pretty mild compared to what I make at home or get at a restaurant. It’s in the refrigerated dips section in a container with a yellow lid.

You mean $1,600 and $1,200, right?

re: Best grill

Posted by 3oliv3 on 3/2/25 at 9:39 pm to
I have a Weber spirit, Weber performer, and blackstone. Have also had a pellet grill and electric smoker but got rid of those. Electric components outside in south Louisiana are no bueno.
Depends. RV power is 30a 120v so normal house power. Plumbed out sewer/water line may be good if you wanted to turn it into a shop with a bathroom. Might come in handy if you ever have to live in a fema trailer. I wouldn’t mind it myself. Could be valuable when selling the house and unlikely to be a complete dealbreaker.
Smoked pork belly “burnt ends” on the Weber.

Ribeye and chicken cheesesteaks on the blackstone.

Assorted dips and libations.

That NY Style from That's Amore looked awful


I had it once and never again. It’s a weird crackery dough. No chew or crust like a ny style.
Corporate Blvd BR location or Elmwood JP location? Never frequented either but would occasionally stop in both.

Fun fact: if you miss the elmwood fox and hound it is featured in the first season of True Detective.
Anyone in JP see the sky outside right now? It’s basically blue. Uncanny as hell.
This was just a fantastic day and I’m glad the whole family was home for it. I was lucky to not get locked in. What a beautiful concurrence of events where it snowed from the moment we got up this morning til twilight. The snow was some of the most aesthetically pleasing I’ve ever seen. The wind whipping it aroud the yard was magical. The silence- no cars or no airport traffic to disturb the stillness. Kids playing for hours then crashing inside with rosy wind-burnt cheeks. What a day.
