Carter's


I am lucky to be equidistant from Carter’s and Oak Point, and sometimes I go to one, sometimes the other depending on what I want. If I want fried chicken, fish or shrimp…Carter’s. Meat or bakery…Oak Point. I think their prices are very comparable.

Walmart delivery for staples.
I love Oak Point. Will be there today. It is high af. I shop their sales, and then other odds and ends. But I don’t do my big shopping there.

Rouses is a little far from me, so not as familiar, but I think they arent as expensive as OP.

Aldi in Central and Denham are worth a visit to me, too, and their prices are good.
NO instead of No, so people think Im yelling at them.

Why?


To clarify…I hate seeing them fight each other and hate seeing them die.

As a poster said above, its like seeing a dog die. Plus, considering what state they eventually come to…it seems a terrible waste.

That crazy fricker. What do you expect dragging a feral dragon in from the wild? He aint hearing Dohaeras, Lil Wayne.

Used to be bubble gum or lime when I was a kid. Now either spearmint (especially when it is really hot) or classic cherry.

Well…now there’s a plan for a trip to the local stand this afternoon.
Somehow I feel there may be a fundamental change from the book. To stay with the plot would likely be wildly unpopular.

As an aside, I am rewatching Rooks Rest right now and am reminded how much I hate seeing dragons fight. Looking forward to the new season, but then again not.
Electric. By a good bit.

If you compare Popeyes at its best to Canes at its best…no contest. Popeyes by a LOT.

But Canes is consistent. One may say consistently boring and somewhat bland, but it will usually be all right. Whereas bad Popeyes is turrible.

I do prefer Canes fries, though undistinguished.
I was in GT from 4th-8th in the early 80s. Have the freckle, have the scar, had the testing.

But Im psychic and knew what those frickers were up to.


(Honestly, had the scar since 1st grade, have a lot of freckles, the testing was done at LSU in the fledgling days of the program. Conspiracy is BS.)
I recently ended up with a bag of Community Dark and Bold Intense as a result of a delivery mistake. I never drink Community, but have enjoyed the heck out of this.

I use them a lot. Made tacos al carbon with some last night because thats the cut I had. Marinated, cooked quickly in a cast iron grill pan. We were pleased with flavor and tenderness. They always seem to turn out tender however I prepare them.

It is sounding like this is probably going to be the choice, along with the restaurant bars.

Thanks, all!

I'm not sure what the daytime crowd is like


I have been there during the day on a Saturday and it wasnt bad. Agree it may be tight if all six are there.

Small group…probably six. I was thinking we will likely go with the restaurant bars before dinner, but may want to move on after.

I was looking at Yard Goat, and LaFonda for daytime margaritas does sound like a good idea.

Thanks!

Cocktails in Lafayette

Going to be in Lafayette for an event this weekend, and our group has reservations at Pamplona and Vestal for dinner, but may want spots for cocktails before/after.

Recommendations?
Its actually what I have done to my kids…my parents were good role models.

I cuss like a sailor. Very unladylike. My husband does as well. Mostly just at home. Yes- it’s trashy and actually oddly uncharacteristic for us both. We have always admonished the kids not to curse.

My son is an adult and can do what he wants, but I never hear him curse. Im sure he does at work or with friends. When he was about 12, though, he dropped something or hurt himself in his room and I heard an epic string of curses. It was almost impressive. He has just always shown restraint.


Never heard my daughter say anything but “bitch” and she used it well so I didnt say anything to her.
It’s ok. My kids like it, and It is convenient if we are shopping at Juban in Denham. Never had a bad experience, but if I never went back I wouldnt miss it.

My son went recently and is displeased they switched from waffle fries to the ubiquitous and inferior “seasoned” battered fries.
I must have corn. Dont know why, but I do. My son made the last ones and just cut to the chase…put the corn in the filling. It was good, but we had no side.

My mom added crumbled corn bread to her stuffing. It was excellent, but I dont do that. Maybe thats why I need the corn flavor.
We went in March—passing through around lunchtime. Brunch buffet was available. I wanted to try LBC because so many people on my social media had raved about it.

The brunch looked…not good, so we ordered off the menu. The food was fine. I got some sort of seafood stack and my husband got a salad. We were out on the deck and it was very pleasant, and the service was nice. Bloody Mary was a spectacle and tasted good.

We dont need to go back.
