[quote]Gonna watch that one. Movie is on YouTube. [/quote] It's a good watch. That guy was another of the proverbial "Schoolyard bully" type who only grew up physically, not mentally and tormented people around him until they decided they had enough. Should happen more often to those typ...

[quote] Senior citizens bussed in from the nursing home to dump their child's inheritance. [/quote] This being part of your argument against gambling is ludicrous from the get-go. First of all, if the nursing home seniors are dropping money in slot machines, then it's THEIR money to do as th...

[quote]Okra. [/quote] I love it fried, grilled, stewed, steamed, pickled, in gumbos and soups. One of my favorites to grow in a summer garden. Can't believe most stores sell it for $4 and up a lb. since it's so easy to grow and produces like mad....

re: A Different Take on Cracklins

[quote]Thank you for your clear, concise explanation.[/quote] I've cooked both cracklins and pork skins many times over the years and have gotten a lot of people's approval with the outcome. Both process take a lot of time if done from scratch, but pork skins are less hands-on since a l...

re: Tell me about your club days

Tried it and didn't like it. I found most of the people to be far too pretentious for my liking, putting on airs and such. So many of the guys I saw there would spend just about all their weeks wages trying to impress some girl they thought would go home with them, only to leave with blue bal...

re: Night Fishing Memories

Posted by gumbo2176 on 5/5/24 at 10:07 am
This goes back many decades for me. My uncle would take his 4 boys and me out to the pontoon bridge on Paris Rd. when we were kids to fish. We'd bring long poles with Coleman lanterns attached and hang them over the water and punch holes in cans of dog food and drop them in the water to try to...

Great cast, good storyline, excellent acting and in my opinion, a fitting ending. The beginning was a bit weird to watch with pasty white, pudgy Phillip Seymour Hoffman hitting Marisa Tomei doggy style in the opening scene. The flashback time sequences put me in mind of "The Godfather II" as t...

[quote]So, to be cracklins, it needs to have a chunk of meat on each piece? Or what is the difference?[/quote] Cracklins come from the pork belly, the same meat used to make bacon. It is a mix of fat and meat. The chunks are cut larger and are slowly rendered down to get rid of a lot of the ...
Tomatoes will need to be supported in some way because the plants themselves will not support the weight of the leaves and fruit and will spill over the bucket and cover the porch. I also stake pepper plants, but mine are in the ground and subject to whatever nature throws at them as they grow. ...

re: Row of corn in garden

Posted by gumbo2176 on 5/3/24 at 11:06 pm
A single row??? If so, even if the plants do well growing, don't expect much, if any corn. Corn plants do well to put out 2 ears of corn per plant, that is why it should be planted close in the row with multiple rows to benefit from pollination and support as it grows tall. When corn is in s...
