You would so the same thing. Why shouldn’t they be pissed? They were on a great trajectory and they had the rug pulled out from them.

You want them to be happy for him?

WTF does he know about LSU’s booster network? NOTHING.

For chicken stock, simmer bones and vegetables for **6 to 8 hours** on low heat. This allows the collagen in the bones to break down into gelatin, giving the stock a rich flavor and body. Skim foam and impurities periodically, and avoid boiling to keep the stock clear. If using a pressure cooker, 1 to 2 hours is sufficient. For a lighter stock, 3 to 4 hours can work, but longer simmering enhances depth.

Simmering chicken stock beyond 8 hours can enhance flavor to a point, but there are diminishing returns and potential drawbacks. Here's a breakdown:

- **Up to 12-24 hours**: Extended simmering can extract more collagen, minerals, and depth from the bones, resulting in a richer, more intense flavor and thicker texture due to increased gelatin. Many professional chefs simmer stocks for 12-18 hours for maximum flavor, especially for bone-heavy stocks.

- **Beyond 24 hours**: The flavor may not improve significantly and can sometimes become overly intense, bitter, or "off" due to over-extraction of certain compounds from bones or vegetables. Vegetables, in particular, can break down too much, making the stock cloudy or imparting a stale taste.

**Tips for longer simmering**:
- Monitor water levels and top off with hot water to prevent the stock from reducing too much or burning.
- Skim regularly to remove impurities.
- If vegetables start to disintegrate (after 6-8 hours), consider removing them and adding fresh ones to avoid bitterness.
- Taste periodically to ensure the flavor remains balanced.

Is it beneficial to simmer longer

For home cooking, **8-12 hours** is typically the sweet spot for a flavorful, well-rounded chicken stock. If you go longer, keep it under 24 hours and taste-test to ensure quality.

Anyone invest much in ARK funds particularly the ARKK “innovation” ETF? I always see Cathie Woods from ARK on Squak Box. She looks like she’s had some hits, but some of their funds seem so volatile.

Not that easy dumb arse.

How can you call it pricey? I can get out of there with a custom bowl for under $12. Can’t get a full meal at ,any places for that price.

Copied this from the Experian site. I know this is not your forever home, but this is great advice I wish I would have taken.

Biweekly Mortgage Payments Example
Let's say you have a 30-year mortgage of $400,000 with a fixed interest rate of 6.5%. Your monthly payment is $2,528.27, but you decide to make biweekly payments of $1,264.14 every two weeks. By doing so, you could trim five years and 11 months' worth of payments off your mortgage loan and save $119,128.82 in total interest on the loan—all without refinancing your mortgage.

Domilisie’s roast beef is not as good as Mahoney’s. It’s not as difficult to make a fried seafood po-boy.

I think the owner’s of Zea’s used to own Semolina’s. They sold Semolina’s and had a 5 year non compete. When the non compete expired they opened up Zea’s. The group that bought Semolina’s ran it into the ground. I could be wrong and I am sure someone on this board will correct me.

Want to stay in the downtown area. I have reservations at Chez Piillipe’s, but heard it is a little overrated and overpriced. I also hear pd Flight was pretty good. I do not want a steakhouse.

TIA for the recs
