re: Louisiana Smoked Sausage

Posted by labguy on 9/23/26 at 8:32 am to
I have bought Rabideaux’s at Rouses in BR but they don’t always have it. I know I’m in the minority but it’s just a little too smoky for me. I tried to like it and I like smoked meats but just not my favorite. I prefer Best Stop smoked sausage.

Sacalait Recipe

Posted by labguy on 9/19/26 at 8:43 am
Anyone have an easy sacalait recipe to share. Cooking some for the game along with broiled shrimp. Normally fry them but want to bake or broil in the oven for a change. Guess I could just add a little seasoning along with a little butter and lemon. Thanks.

What do you get for $100 cover charge? Is it unlimited food and drinks or just your foot in the door? For that much money you should get something.

I’ve never had much luck with carrots or beets. I do greens. They do great.

Boil for 10 minutes and soak for 20.

Baking Powder or Cornstarch on Wings

Should I dust wings with baking powder or cornstarch for the crispiest wings? Going to cook on the Weber grill.

Brown Select or Owari Satsuma

I need to replace a satsuma tree that suffered freeze damage last year. I don’t remember what variety it is but I bought it from Becnel’s in Belle Chase. Should I get a Brown Select or Owari?

re: What sleep meds work for you?

I used to take melatonin every night for several years upon advice from my doctor. However last year after a new study came out possibly linking melatonin with heart disease he told me to quit taking it. Advised to take magnesium glycinate instead. Seems to work.
I tend to judge people who say “where’s it at” or “where you at”.I cringe every time I hear someone say it but it’s become almost normal now with almost everyone adding the extra “at” to the end of a sentence. Even supposedly highly educated people.

re: new car extended warranty

I personally think a lot of them are scams. Like Car Shield and Endurance. The ones you can buy from dealers I think just aren’t worth the price you pay. Statistically speaking from what I’ve read they aren’t worth it. The dealers wouldn’t try to sell them to you so hard unless they are making money off them. They’re not in the business to lose money.
I’ve been living in BR all my life and I’m 70 years old. Definitely not safer. I don’t see how anyone could possibly think this.
That would be a Hell No based on past experiences.
What an irresponsible statement for a head coach to make. Zero class.
My wife and I used to enjoy going to the French Quarter occasionally back then. She won’t even go now. It’s more dangerous there today.
I don’t think it was any worse in the 90’s than it is today. Used to be a great place to go. I’ve been living in BR all my life and I’m 70 years old and IMHO it was never as bad as it is now.
“Anyone on here recall Joe Reed’s (lounge) being there in the early ‘70’s?”

Joe Reed’s wasn’t at that location. It was in the shopping center where Superior Grill on Highland is located now.
