Freezing Gumbo
Posted by labguy on 5/21/26 at 10:58 am
I’m planning to make a chicken and sausage gumbo this weekend to bring to Toledo Bend next week on a fishing trip. Does anyone ever freeze gumbo after cooking and take out and thaw later. I think it should be okay. It’s just a little easier to transport this way. What do y’all think?
I did get 2 estimates. Both were very reasonable I thought. One was $1,100 and the other $1,500. Liked both guys. Thanks for the advice.
Great advice. Thanks.

Landon is coming tomorrow to give me a quote. So is Mr. D’s.
Tree Trimming
Posted by labguy on 5/18/26 at 7:18 am
I just switched my homeowners insurance and the new company is requiring me to have some trees trimmed. Does anyone have the name of a reputable licensed and insured tree service they recommend? I would like to get 2 or 3 quotes. I’m in Baton Rouge. Thanks in advance.

Sounds terrible but I don’t like rye.

I had a similar experience with them. And they will keep calling back offering deals for months.
The dude obviously had issues but was a rare talent going back to his days with the Jackson 5. I enjoyed his music. He was a hell of an entertainer.

I’ve sold my truck and boat on FM. They both sold quickly and I got what I wanted for them. You have to weed through the idiots but it’s pretty easy to do. I’ve been pleased.
You get what you pay for. I bought 10 lbs of boiled from them last week and they were not very good. I would not buy live crawfish from them. Small and a lot of dead ones.
No it’s not justified to spray your neighbors yard with round up. Spray your own yard.
re: Door to door soliciting. Is this effective in 2026?

Rev came door to door to my neighborhood last week after burying cable on my street a few months ago. Trying to sign people up. He told me I’m signing up all of your neighbors. AT&T did the same thing last year.
re: Need a recommendation for Pinot Noir

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.
