There's Little Veron's Meat Market in Lafayette. There's a Veron's Supermarket in Lutcher that makes their own sausage and lists stuffed pork chops as a specialty item.

If you are in BR and interested in trying Hebert's products, Matherne's on Highland has cases in the back of the store that stock a variety of items.

The Dakota's Crabmeat and Brie Soup


Probably the same recipe used by Mansur's and French Market Bistro
I also shot with the D750 for ages and still have all the equipment available. I had the 24-120 F4 for the D750 and liked the versatility and weight. As you mentioned, the reviews of the new Z version say it's much improved. The advantage is weight and extended focal range over the 24-70 F2.8. With IBS of the Z9 or any mirrorless camera, the difference between f4 and f2.8 isn't that big of an issue, unless you shoot a lot of shallow depth of field pictures (portraits). I just saw a YouTube review of the Tamron 35-150 by Mads Peter Iversen, where he reviewed the Tamron lens and compared to other lens he uses. He a landscape photographer. His take was that the lens was very sharp, but the range just didn't fit his needs. He would rather have a lens that went to 24-28mm and didn't really need the extra weight associated with low F-stops (a lot of time he's backpacking).

If I had stayed with Nikon when I switched to mirrorless earlier this year, I would have gone with the 24-120 f4. Instead, I decided I was tired of carring all that weight around and switched to OM Systems OM-1 Mak II.

Grew up in PA & VA. I don't remember eating rice often growing up, although when my mother made stuffed cabbage or bell peppers they had rice as an ingredient.

I probably prefer potatoes, but rice has its place and eat it often in many dishes.
The device operating system should read the file. Does the soundbar have a usb port?

Yes, I used to find it at Fresh Market, but I haven't looked in years.

Yeah, if you look back, you'll see that a lot of the threads were whacked. You have to go back to the 4th to find a thread.

I was there too, it was 1978. Three months before we had Mahogany Rush w/Frank Marino opening for Styx at the Assembly Center.

I started using OneNote, just a simple list of Title - Author. My wife has a large library of hardback books that I read along with Kindle download from the library. Then discovered that Goodreads also tracked activity from my Kindle. I've been using both methods for about 5 years

re: Champagne - how long at room temp?

Vintage champagne (does it have a vintage year on the label) can be aged for years, but it needs to be stored correctly. Like mentioned, open and see.
