Probably an unpopular opinion but not a big fan of AB. He may be a great cook but watching him makes me cringe.
Most of the ones I’ve had from local churches are pretty decent however I got some last year once from St. George and I have to say it was terrible. Must have had an off night.
I don’t understand how anyone likes 5 Guys fries. They are consistently the worse fries I’ve ever eaten. Limp, greasy, soggy just terrible. I don’t see anything to like about them.
I purchased fresh fish from Keys Fresh Seafood Market in Key West. Got some mangrove snapper and black grouper. Shipped fresh, never frozen. It was delicious especially the mangrove. I don’t know if they sell Dover sole though.
5 Guys have the worst fries of all to me. Always limp and greasy. Just terrible.

Thanks for all the advice.

Best Way to Protect Against Termites

Posted by labguy on 1/26/26 at 4:41 pm
The company I’ve had a contract with for the last 25 years treats by trenching around foundation and applying Thermidor poison. They retreat every 5 years at a cost of $1,000 and do an annual inspection for $120/year. I got an email recently saying it’s time to retreat. I’m thinking of going with the bait traps instead. I think the bait traps cost about $1,000 to install and they inspect them annually. You can also buy them and install yourself for around $500. What do most people use now, trenching and poison or traps? Any info is appreciated.
This is the democrats voting base. Thats why they protect them. Without cheating dems would never win another election.

Move. I’ve been fighting them over 20 years. Tried everything except Juicy Fruit gum. I’ll give it a try.

I love Jay’s barbecue sandwiches. Probably been going to the one on Government for nearly 50 years.

I turn the heat up to medium high. Set a timer for 15 minutes. Before the timer goes off I’m done and it’s a very dark roux.

Last year I had an unbelievable amount of acorns in my yard. They covered the entire front yard. This year not one single acorn.
New Orleans will be a better place with Amy Schumer gone. I wish she would take her uncle and leave the country.
I use The Best Stop smoked pork sausage in everything. My favorite.
He’s paid a lot more money than the president and the president works his arse off for the people.

“Elsie’s is definitely overpriced!”

And overrated as far as I’m concerned.
The Best Stop is my favorite seasoning.
I second Joe Patti’s. Get some Royal Reds and have them steam them for you at the spice level you prefer. I get spicy. Melt yourself some butter and pick up a bottle of white wine. Delicious.
