Stadium Rat

I don't know about "deep water crawfish", but a couple of years ago there was talk about some crustacean similar to a crawfish that would be available in the normal off season. But they were talking about October to January, I think.

This is the one I like. Sub in some cheddar cheese for some of the mozz if you like.

Smoke an ostrich

I bought the mayo and will give a report later, but I was wondering if anyone had opinions on these.

Just keeps repeating the same theme over and over.

I ordered 2 myself.

What I do is I mix it up, then water-bath can it into smaller jars so it will keep better.

I was a regular at the Buccaneers games at the old Loyola Field House.


Was the court there elevated and the players ran the risk of falling off on one end? Or am I totally imagining that or confusing it with another place...

No, your memory is correct. Eventually they installed a net. Some of the later games were at Tulane Gym (now Fogelman). The tickets were only a buck and a half. Larry Brown and Doug Moe were early stars on the team.

And the Bucs lost game 7 of the championship series by 20 or so. Connie Hawkins ate them alive. I was bummed. Watched it on channel 26 WGNO, an independent UHF station then.

You also thought Las Cruces's food was excellent and are excited that Walmart is selling Papa John's

I ate at Las Cruces once and got take out another time. Both times it was excellent. Sorry that this upsets you.

And I'm not "excited" for PJ's dipping sauce (I generally don't use any), but my wife likes it when we order PJ's (instead of me making pizza myself). That's the only reason I know Walmart has it.

Arby's has to be the worst fast food on the planet.
