re: Need a recommendation for Pinot Noir
Posted by labguy on 4/2/26 at 11:47 am to CBandits82
Meiomi sucks. Less than $20 and not very good.
I just had one. Not overly impressed. The sauce was thousand island dressing like the Big Mac. It was very messy and fell apart while eating it. Probably won’t get it again.
Homeowners and Auto Insurance
Posted by labguy on 3/17/26 at 10:22 am
My homeowners insurance policy is going to renew soon and I need to shop around for better rates. I know I'm paying way too much. More than anyone else I know. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what company and/or agent they use and are very pleased with? Thanks.
You’ll have to be very careful not to overcook them or they’ll break apart when you peel them. If they are already boiled it would be risky to boil again. Ruins the texture.
Been going to Middendorf’s for over 50 years. I used to love their thin fried catfish until last time I went. No more. Too thin mostly batter. Next time I’ll try their regular catfish. Good soft shelled crabs and old fashions too.

We’ve been drinking Eight O’clock. Started drinking it because it was less expensive but now it’s more than Community. We like it better.
re: Highland Road- Baton Rouge

35 is too slow to drive on Highland Rd under normal conditions. You will have a line of cars backing up behind you. Anyone should be able to safely drive 45mph as long as the traffic is moving.

Tried it. Hard pass.
re: How much extra crawfish fat to add in an ettoufee
Posted by labguy on 2/27/26 at 4:52 pm to VoodooVibes
I’ve actually never heard of adding extra crawfish fat to etoufee. I’m not opposed to it though because the fat gives it that great flavor. There is usually enough in the tails where I don’t see the need to add extra. I have bought an extra pound or two of boiled crawfish and peeled them and added the fat to etoufee before. Turns out great. Other than that I wouldn’t know where to get extra crawfish fat.
re: Domino's now charges for Parmesan
Posted by labguy on 2/24/26 at 7:12 am to travelgamer
I prefer Mr. Gatti’s pizza over the others. And no charge for pepper flakes or Parmesan.
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.
re: Best fast food Burger, Fries and Drink
Posted by labguy on 2/8/26 at 8:49 am to BoomerandSooner
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.
re: Has anyone purchased seafood online and it was a good experience?
Posted by labguy on 2/7/26 at 11:31 am to Dry Prong Wildcat
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.
re: What are your go to french fries?

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.
“Never understood why people enjoy Jay’s”
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.
