An acquaintance from my time back in Birmingham has made a good business with his two locations in BHM and TUSC.

Original and tasty-flavored boiled peanuts combined with cold local beer. Yes please.

Fun stuff.
Met Arlo Guthrie at a West Palm radio station back in the 90's. He could not have been nicer, even while knowing we only played his song once per year at noon on Thanksgiving.

Guess he still got some good mailbox money from all of the US radio stations that played it once per year.

Yep. Sunshine Super Stop Truck Stop. Enter 12091 LA-70, Convent, LA 70723 into Google Maps. Scroll down on the left panel until you get to photos, then select Inside. Look above the counter on the right side.

Not my photo, and I couldn't get the image to imbed, but it's there. What I remember is that they bought all of the FT labelled cups, etc., along with the recipe. Now that was 20-30 years ago. But the image is from two years ago, so who knows?
Find a Chacho's restaurant. Drink and eat heavily.
If you care to drop some serious coin on the old man:

Right next to Ward Creek. Passed by that crick (OK, ditch) today while zipping down Choctaw.

On the far chance that y'all may want to hang with the T-Town hipster crowd -- and that you like fancy boiled peanuts -- stop in at the Alabama Peanut Company around the corner from Chucks on 23rd Ave for some peanuts and craft-cerveza.
Do the lights in some of your rooms blink or just vary in brightness when heavy appliances like the washing machine kick in? Have an electrician look into the bonding of your neutral to ground -- as well as the connection of your ground rod to... well... ground.

Happened my my old house years ago. In my case the crap from birds on my drop wire had broken the messenger cable, a-k-a ground back to the pole. Entergy fixed it quickly.

Curious if is it open yet. Can't tell from Google Maps.

Clinton, Mississippi? Then you should have heard of Comeback Sauce from Crechale's and other legacy Jackson restaurants. Good on anything.
A pink marbled stone from the Llano River in Texas, a bit of iron ore from the top of Red Mountain in Birmingham, and a rock that I may or may not have scooped up from the Vatican Grottoes.
Vectoring -- or maybe not -- from the original question: it's just me that I cook for. Do the ratios scale down to cooking for just one?

Vector two: I've started to try using my rice cooker to speed up this process. I'm having trouble hitting that perfect spot. Ideas?

I'll stand by to take my internet-licks for being an older, overworked cat-guy engineer, but given my work sked I'd like to try to emulate a home-cooked meal now and then.

TIA

Yeah I tracked those down a few years ago. The adventure was fun, but not what I was thinking of. Hard pass.

The rest of your list looks good.
