There also . Was going fishing with a friend and his uncle the next weekend or so but couldn't make it but they found him walking the head lanes behind Patoutville and the uncle convinced him to turn himself in. Ms G lived but was messed up afterwards....

Posted by Ollie1968 on 8/21/21 at 6:04 pm

News and the multiple take from posters. BTW there are truly ignorant folks that post here. This board is the reason for getting an account. There was one poster, who I think passed, that posted daily during the early obama years. You had to be signed in to view the posts. I have looked at nearly ev...

re: Has anyone ever been treated by a traiteur, also known as a Cajun healer?

Posted by Ollie1968 on 6/24/21 at 7:59 pm

Got treated for asthma, a badly sprained ankle and a burn on my leg that didn't want to heal. All I remember each time going late a night to a old black lady that put me leaning against a tree touching my head and body while speaking dirty French. When I went to MEPs in NO one of the counselors ...

re: Trader Joe’s, Walmart, and Costco drop mask mandates

Posted by Ollie1968 on 5/14/21 at 7:34 pm

I have never worn a mask in Walmarks since this crap started. The only places that made me wear a mask was Subway and that was once, the commissary and shoppette. Hell the schools stop requiring masks over a month ago; six months too late. Never got sick which is surprising since I'm always out & ab...

Posted by Ollie1968 on 3/10/21 at 6:53 pm

I'm in Alabama andI grow the Ozark Beauty variety. These are everbearing and produce most of the year. Thought I lost them from a weed that took over the garden and strawberry patch last fall. Cleaned the bed out two weeks ago and have blooms coming on as of today. I have 16 plants now but probably...

Posted by Ollie1968 on 2/21/21 at 6:31 pm

Fry them. Clean all the mud out and soak in milk for a couple hours. Used to enjoy eating them. The old lady I stayed with when I was a kid forbade me from bringing them fish in her her house. Then again I thought garfish was the best tasting fish there was. Choupique in potato hash was mighty ...

The strawberries and blackberries should be fine. As for the blackberries, you may lose the tips of the canes if touching the ground. This is what I need to get done today, pruning the old canes that produced last year and re-staking the good canes. These things are starting to grow crazy. Worr...

re: What’s a good recipe for eggplant?

Posted by Ollie1968 on 5/30/20 at 11:06 am

Eggplant is one of my favorites. Can't go wrong with cooking some down and mixing into a simple rice dressing. My neighbor talks about growing up eating 'oyster' soup his grandma made. Says it's real good. I will give it a try this year. There's recipes online....
