re: Once again, your most memorable games at the Box...
Posted by apacheba on 3/11/10 at 3:03 pm
March 29, 1986 : I sneaked in a 6-pack for a few beers and a cigar in tribute to the Tigers while sitting out in the left field bleachers ... not the baseball Tigers, though ... it was to toast the Final Four team that had just lost to Louisville that day after one of the wildest rides we ever had as LSU fans. Back at the Box, we swept Tennessee that weekend ... and Skip took the team to Omaha for their first-ever CWS a couple of months later. The rest is history.

Salads are good at Taco Sisters downtown on Johnston St, inexpensive food-to-go shack. All their food is frikkn delicious but theyre only open for lunch ... definitely worth a try.

Catahoula's in Grand Coteau closed

Lost a good one last weekend :
Catahoula's closes, doggonit
quote:
Acadiana has one less dining destination. Catahoula’s in Grand Coteau has closed its doors. A victim of the economy and the drive to the historic town in St. Landry Parish, chef and owner Jude Tauzin extinguished his flames for the last time after dinner on Sunday night. “I’ve been struggling for a while. I couldn’t hang on any more,” says Tauzin.
The beautiful restaurant, located in a former general merchandise store, was one of the premier eating establishments in the area. Founded in 1996 by John and Hillary Slaughter, the restaurant featured innovative seafood dishes and huge photographs of Catahoula hounds, shot by photographer John Slaughter. Tauzin, first as chef, then as owner, took the cooking to new heights, garnering accolades from foodie journals like Southern Living and Gourmet magazine.

Soops in Maurice is only about 4-5 miles down Johnston.
That's a pretty ambitious shot for lunchtime traffic on Ambassador. Better take the scenic route down Kaliste to E. Broussard take a left down to 92 then a right thru Milton to Maurice ... or just go right on EB to Johnston.
Or ... right around the corner from the OP on Kaliste Saloom try this place for a plate lunch :

SONJA’S CAJUN DELI, 2807 KALISTE SALOOM ROAD, LAFAYETTE, 988-0516
Formerly Comeaux’s, this tiny yet popular Exxon station is practically a full scale restaurant, offering breakfast, daily plate lunch specials, po-boys, and dining tables to boot.

Here's one dish for your list :
Corn Maque Choux Recipe
You might already have a maque choux recipe, I just picked that example randomly. Stuffed merlitons also popped into my head but I have no idea if these dishes appeal to you. Have you tried pickles and ice cream, without the ice cream? Congrats on BNTW Jr.

I wouldn't call it sausage either, but it is ... its blood sausage but we all mostly eat the unbloody white boudin and never call it sausage. If you wanna call it something in a casing it's more like dirty rice than jambalaya.
As for the novice wondering if local people know it can be eaten "raw", that would be a yep my friend ... for breakfast, lunch, dinner & midnight snack. Welcome to Louisiana.

To everything, there is a season.
That was the season for ... 'Our hitting coach sucks' and 'WTF is up with all the baserunning errors?' and 'Bench (Dean-Ochinko-Helenihi-Mitchell)NOW!! ... threads.
This is the season for ... 'JJ vs JL' and 'Jai vs Hawkins' and 'JaMarcus vs Flynn' ... threads.
I agree with anybody replaying/reliving the 2009 baseball season. It doesn't get much better than that.

re: any chance CJ gets some midweek starts next season in b-ball
Posted by apacheba on 6/30/09 at 9:59 am
He definitely will not start midweek games ... because he will start all Friday & Sunday games during the season and every single postseason game thru the CWS ... his record in 2010 will be 44-0 (all complete games) with 731 Ks. Also, this fall he'll go both ways starting all 14 games at QB besides playing middle on defense. "Middle" is a new position created by Jones ... LSU will play 5 DLs and 5 DBs, and Chad Jones at middle. No team will score against them.

Yeah, seems like it might have been produced by one of the public stations in New Orleans. Good idea, I'll try it. Thanks.
"Men of LSU" documentary - anybody got it?
Posted by apacheba on 6/29/09 at 12:41 pm
quote:
*********** I once saw a documentary called "Men of LSU," which dealt
with the intensity of LSU fans' loyalty to their Tigers. I remember a
scene in which two guys driving to an LSU game ran off the road and into
a canal; after escaping from the car and swimming to safety, their only
concern seemed to be their game tickets. Once they were determined that
their tickets were okay, they shook off their close call and thumbed
their way to Baton Rouge. Nuttin' was gonna keep dem guys from watchin'
dem Tigahs.
The quote is from a very old blog entry I found while looking for something else. I remember seeing this documentary on TV way back in the day and wanted to see if anybody knows about it or how to get a copy. It was originally made no later than the late 70s or early 80s.

Don Holleder - Army 1956 (Classmate of Norman Schwartzkopf)
DON HOLLEDER, ALL-AMERICAN
quote:
On October 17, 1967, as the West Point team prepared to meet Rutgers, Major Donald W. Holleder, the personification of the selfless leader and team player, a man who sacrificed personal glory for the good of his team, a man who persevered and ultimately prevailed despite the odds, a man who represented the very best America has to offer, was caught in an ambush 40 miles from Saigon, and killed by a sniper's bullet as he hurled himself into enemy fire attempting to rescue wounded comrades. He was 33 years old, father of four.

Yankees draftee news
Fggn Yankees better quit screwin around with our good players. LSU > NYY
quote:
Standing 6'6 and weighing 210 lbs, RHP Brett Bruening of Grayson County College in Texas has noticeable size and projection. His talent is also evident (bumping 95 and 96 mph), as hehas committed to play for perennial power house Louisiana State University next season. BA had this to say about him before the draft:
Heis still figuring out his delivery and command after missing two years in high school following elbow surgery. He also will have to develop reliable secondary pitches, as his curveball and changeup are mediocre. Pro clubs can't help but notice his fastball, but they may let Bruening spend a season at Louisiana State before investing heavily in him.
This pick reminds me of the selection of Justin Harper last year - a JUCO righty with fantastic velocity, but sub-optimal control. I suspect that, as with Harper, the Yankees are going to follow Bruening in summerball for the next two months, and then make an offer if his control improves, or if they see a flaw that they know can be corrected once in the system.
