Whatever you have budgeted to spend on a grinder, go buy the $99 dollar one from academy and spend the real money on a good vacuum sealer. Unless you’re just not trimming worth a shite I have never been slowed down by even a basic grinder, all of them can process faster than you can trim.


All of this and Ill add get a good sausage stuffer.

I have this chamber vacuum sealer. Its a 5 star product, with the 8x12 bags you can seal a 2lb portion of sausage. I just did 50lbs over that last week.

Honestly that's not bad. My buddy owns a tow service (not in BR). He charged me $150 cash to take my truck about 15 miles.

Uncle J, Jason Romero, is in Morgan City and he won't touch an express.

OP my cousin has that same boat, 24 Express, he sent it back to Express and they fixed it for free under the Hull Warranty. Those 24 Express are known for hull seam cracks.
3.5 hours labor to change spark plugs seams steep. I could do that in under an hour.

re: Ever pick up a hitchhiker?

Twice, but they weren't hitchhiking just walking to work (had Burger King Clothes on) I was going to WalMart which is next to BK so I stopped and gave them a ride. Happened twice.

ETA; 1 time was a black dude, the next time was a black chic.

I got some from Aldi and it was surprisingly good.
Fresh shrimp give off a lot of juice so be careful with that. I would cook them in my sauce and add the noodles in. I dont typically bake my macaroni, I like mine a lil juicy.

I feel likes she lost some weight when she first started TIkTok. I watched her cook a gumbo, she started with a pot of boiling water, thats not a gumbo that i want to eat. Fond makes or breaks a dish and her gumbo has none.
My mom does in the microwave and they come out great!

2 sticks butter
A shallot diced really fine
3 TBS of flour
4 cans with LeSeure* or Dubois small green beans (Petis Pois)

Melt butter
Cook down shallot till clear
Add flour and make a light roux, not quite the color of paper bag, a little lighter.
Stir in peas (water and all)
You may need to add a little water to thin it out some depending on how thin you like them.

Serve over rice or if you like my wife over creamed potatos.

re: Sinking artificial tree for crappie

Posted by CHEDBALLZ on 12/20/25 at 9:47 pm to
You need to make sure the tree doesn't come apart. Might have to run a sheet metal screw where the sections come together where they attach in the trunk.

Then, you want it to float upside down. Tie a cinder block to the top and a crab trap float to base and throw it over board.
