As Henry Kissinger said about the Iran/Iraq war: It's a pity both sides can't lose.

This isn't what happened in Idaho. It had a big influx of people from blue states, specifically California, Washington and Oregon. These newcomers are registering republican at a greater percentage than the existing population.

Make sure and check out Nortons art gallery.

We will, thanks.

Did OP make his trip?

Not yet, later this month. And it looks like I don't need the recommendation after all as we caught an invite to the rehearsal dinner (at Superior Steakhouse).
I did see the video of the street brawl a couple blocks from the Hilton, I don't think I am going to spend a lot of time walking around downtown.

Japanese too. There was a place on Los Angeles called TFO (Tokyo Fried Chicken) that was the bomb.
Add some chorizo, about a half pound to the gallon of chili.

Also, deglaze the pan you used to brown the meat and add that in as well.

Well take into account they have to do something to try to keep people living in that state

Right you are, this is a terrible place to live. Please don't move here, we are full up.
When we moved to Idaho one of the problems was getting decent fried chicken. But we found a grocery store that fries a pretty good bird. Last Friday I got a 12 piece for $8.99

I usually have left-overs from whatever I made the night before. Today it was ribs in a red sauce.

It doesn't. It covers the insured's liability to you if he damages your property.
Thanks, everyone, for the great advice. It sounds like we are giving 2Johns a shot, although I can likely be talked out of it.

Where are you staying?

The Hilton. Does that matter? I don't know anything about Shreveport.

Restaurant Recommendation in Shreveport

Posted by Roscoe14 on 10/26/25 at 4:45 pm
Going there for a wedding. We are taking the daughter (no pics, I would be a dead man) and son-in-law, so I would like something classy. Don't mind spending a few bucks.

Also, from what I have heard about Shreveport, maybe in a part of town where there is only a small chance of getting murdered?

Thanks in advance.
A study recently revealed something that I didn't suspect but, when thinking about it, is not surprising. You know the women who have cosmetic surgery to expand their lip size? It turns that men don't prefer that, rather the belief that this improves a woman's appearance is driven largely by women:

quote:

The preference for plumper lips on female faces was driven almost entirely by the female participants. Women in the study gave their highest ratings to female faces with enhanced lips. Male participants, when rating female faces, did not show a preference for plumper lips; their peak attractiveness ratings were for the female faces with their original, unaltered lip size.


As I said, I am not surprised. I don't like the look, I think it makes a woman look wierd.

Firefly. A real shame it didn't catch on and got cancelled. Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk. What's not to like?
This is about as simple as can be, but it turns out pretty good. Get a cheap and fatty cut of pork, like country style spareribs. Salt and pepper and brown them on all sides using the sauté function. Add in a can of enchilada sauce and pressure cook for 45 minutes. Comes out fork tender.

quote:

Keith, you are already living in Hell. Old, unemployed, irrelevant. Fired from every job you ever had. Unmarried and childless. Spending your final years alone, shitposting into the void, begging to be noticed. When you die you will leave behind no legacy and there will be nobody to mourn you or even remember that you existed. Truly, I would rather be dead than live your life. I cannot imagine the misery that you feel every second of the day. And you deserve all of it.

Don't sugarcoat it, Matt. Tell us how you really feel.

So, could you order an Irish car bomb?

Probably not. The bartender explained that he did have some leeway when the secondary ingredients of a cocktail contained some alcohol. So, you could probably get a manhattan even though it has vermouth added to the rye. But the car bomb would likely be on the other side of the line.

re: Tips for jambalaya cookoff?

Posted by Roscoe14 on 9/15/25 at 4:04 pm to
When I did my first chili cookoff my major concern was the quantity. I had to make 10 gallons and I had never made that much before.

So, I practiced by making my usual batch of chili, this time keeping track of everything I put into it. Then I scaled up to 10 gallons by multiplying everything by 10.

Worked pretty well.
