“For the record, this person is angry that […] mutilation of children has been outlawed.”

Wait, they banned male circumcision?! Genital mutilation for any reason shouldn’t be allowed unless the person involved is old enough to consent. “I have a religious reason for mutilating my children’s genitals” just doesn’t cut it. Wait until your kid gets older and let them decide.

I’m against ANY child’s genitals being mutilated for ANY reason. Anything less is just hypocrisy.

re: Baked Beans Recipe

Posted by Jerbee02 on 10/10/21 at 3:20 pm to
Thank you so much for explaining this… I was trying to figure out if they used butter. It makes sense that they would use trimmings though… Looks like I’m going to start saving mine up!
Never mind, I found the answer buried in a thread from long ago:

Note: Podnuh’s uses the fat/trimmings off there briskets in their beans. That gives it the smoky meaty flavor. Fantastic beans. You can do a similar job by jazzing up Bush's baked beans with brisket trimmings, some mustard, honey, garlic and BBQ sauce. Or just use some browned ground beef with the above and put your pan on your smoker uncovered to get some smoke.


Here’s what I do.

Baked Beans

Ingredients

1 lb bacon, fine diced
1 lb hot breakfast sausage
2 medium onions, fine diced
2 jalapeño peppers, minced, seeds removed
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cans(15 oz)Van Camps beans, with liquid
1 can black beans, with liquid
1 bunch green onions, minced
4 T parsley, minced
1 t each, onion and garlic powder
2 bay leaves
1/2 T dry mustard
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1T Tony’s
1 t black pepper
1 cup BBQ sauce (used KC Masterpiece)
1.5 to 2 cups Norris Best syrup (use a dark syrup)


Method

Brown the bacon, sausage, and onions in an oven proof pot. Use medium heat and cook until the onions are beginning to get a good color. Add the garlic during the last minute or two of the sauté stage.

And all remaining ingredients and mix well. You can taste at this point to adjust seasonings, particularly the Tonys for salt.

Place in a 325 to 350° oven, either in this pot or in a baking dish. Cover the dish for the first two hours or so of cooking, then remove the cover to reduce the liquid volume a bit and develop a little more color on the beans. Total cooking time should be around three hours or so.
I love the baked beans they make, but I’ve never been able to replicate it at home. I know from refrigerating them that they use a ridiculous amount of butter, since there’s usually about a quarter of an inch of solidified butter at the top of the container after they’ve been in the fridge overnight… But if somebody knows how they make the beans, I would love to hear it. Hopefully somebody here has worked there before and could fill us in.
Wow... I didn't realize so many people would disapprove of a simple question. 60 downvotes/9 upvotes? Geez. Do up/downvotes actually count for anything, or is it just a 'popularity' device?

In any event, I like MSG. When I lived in the Philippines (most of last year, and half of the 2017) I carried my little panda-bear bottle of Ajinomoto MSG in my backpack with me to most places. A number of girls asked me why that was, because according to them, "Americans all hate MSG". That being said, at least overseas they're up front about it. "MSG" is the only thing they call it - unlike here, where it's generically named "Accent" and the actual ingredient name can only be found somewhere in super small print on the back.


Just curious as to whether anyone has personal knowledge of whether or not Raising Cane's still marinates the chicken in a solution consisting of water, salt, and MSG.

This old Reveille article from '02 contrasting Bailey's (remember them?!) to Cane's features an interview with the manager of the Cane's Lee Drive location, and says that that's how they get the flavor:

quote:

According to Naquin, Cane?s prepares its chicken by marinating it in MSG, water and salt for a period of 24 hours and then battering it in flour.


I'm curious whether or not they still do this, now that they've really taken off compared to 18 years ago. Seems like they'd want to be more 'forward thinking' now that they have success rather than going the 'Chinese buffet' route and soaking (LITERALLY) their food in MSG.

Here's the link to the LSU Reveille article:

I came across this method a few months ago, and have done two briskets using it with incredible results. I smoke the brisket in my Cajun Injector XL electric smoker with hickory, wrap in butcher paper once it hits the stall, then once it reaches 203 I put it in my Yeti for another 2-3 hours. Supposedly it lets the juices redistribute “better” than just letting it rest on the counter. It certainly seems to have worked in both tests I’ve done. Anybody have a clue why that would be?
So true.. I once had to drive through, pull and wait, then after 15 minutes go back through drive-through to ask what was going on.. “oh, we got rushed and thought we already sent it out to your car... sorry”. *sigh*

re: Best apple fritter in BR?

I’ve always enjoyed the fried fritters at the Perkins Road (near college and lee) Mary Lee’s. I don’t know why, but they seem to consistently turn out better than their other locations, which tend to have dry “burnt” ends. Highly recommended.
In an attempt to make this thread the “definitive” sensation salad thread (and so I can come back to it if I ever lose my own copies, which happened to me in the flood a few years ago), here’s Jean’s original recipe from the RRR cookbook. If anybody else has recipes which aren’t already in the thread, by all means share them here!

It was very kindly shared upon request by “cgrand”.

Sensation Salad Dressing

River Road Recipes I, p. 24
Ingredients

1/2 pound finely ground Romano cheese
1 pint salad oil (FYI – salad oil refers to any light tasting oil, such as vegetable, canola, olive, etc.)
Juice of 2 lemons
Juice of 3 cloves of garlic

Directions

Shake all ingredients in a quart jar. Dressing will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator. Especially good tossed with lettuce, water cress, and parsley leaves. Salt and pepper greens as desired before adding dressing.
Bumping this post due to someone on the board asking for a sensation salad recipe - this thread appears to be rather definitive on variations and history.

Here's the original from the old Tiger Bait recipe cookbook...

Hey, I just picked up a vintage Peugeot bicycle earlier today and am having trouble dating it. On the seat tube is a sticker with "Manno's Bicycles and Lawnmowers - Baton Rouge & Lafayette". Does anyone remember this shop? Any idea what years they were open around?
Supersaint - it's just an old email address that I use for message board sign ups and as a spam catcher. I haven't actually used/paid for AOL itself since… dial-up? lol
I think those are good ideas. I'll be going to the Helldiver meeting this week in New Orleans and seeing what local clubs meet when. I registered for spearboard about 3 weeks ago, but my account still hasn't been activated by the administrator - is anyone here on there who can perhaps shoot a PM? To answer that last question, I'm 34. Also, I edited out my contact info, so feel free to message me on here instead.
Hi, I'm new to spearfishing but not diving. I'm open to cleaning fish, boats, rigging, paying a portion of fuel & ice costs, etc. I don't drink, but don't care at all if anybody else does. I'm usually available during the week but if given enough advance notice I can request weekends/multi-days off at my work (I work at Bass Pro). I also have a friend who spearfishes/dives that would be interested in coming on some of the trips - same cost sharing scenario outlined earlier. Also, I'm in Baton Rouge, but am more than willing to travel.

After hearing about a cookbook made in 1976 by LSU called "Tiger Bait", I found a copy of it online for $6.95 (every other copy was $70 or so!)... On page 55, I found the original Sensation Salad dressing submitted by the Jake Staples of The Place. Here it is - I hope that you enjoy it!




Apparently the inventor of the dressing submitted it to the Tiger Bait Cookbook back in the 70's - I found it online - it's a little different from the WAFB version but if my research is correct it pre-dates the others.
