re: Butcher Shop in Baton Rouge/Denham/Gonzales?
Posted by Handbasket on 6/23/16 at 2:17 am
It was being discussed before, a butcher shop opening in BR. Next to Walgreen's at Government and Acadian, maybe a dedicated butcher and higher end sandwich shop for lunch. http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/food-and-drink/mid-city-br-to-get-a-butcher-shop/52426870/ Not sure if it has opened yet, b...

Yes, my East Tennessee grandparents had it almost daily. I still have it occasionally, but only with white cornbread....

Yes, yes, yes!!"Only You" is on my playlist right now, it's part of the soundtrack of a British TV series called 'Ashes to Ashes.

One of the best artists of all time. The manufactured plastic they put out these days couldn't touch him. He was always my favorite.
True story - I (still) have a ticket dated January 1, 1985 to see him at Reunion Arena in Dallas. It started raining and was going to turn into freezing rain, so m...
re: If I wanted to get a job on a shrimping or fishing vessel
Posted by Handbasket on 3/6/16 at 1:44 am
A tangent but if I wanted to get some shrimp right off the boat, where would I go, towns, areas? What days/times is availability the most likely? I'm not from here, live in Zachary, and have zero experience with the coast, but would love to drive down some weekend day and pick up some jumbos. I'd li...

Yes! He was in a couple of episodes of Sherlock, and of course the original Danish version of The Killing - Forbrydelsen. Consistently excellent actor....
re: HOUSE OF CARDS Season 4 is Out
Posted by Handbasket on 3/4/16 at 10:42 am
It seemed sufficiently vague to me. Those are the kinds of atmospheres portrayed in any good drama in certain episodes. Sorry if I spoilered it for you....

re: Thoughts on Pigeon Forge
Posted by Handbasket on 3/4/16 at 1:50 am
I'm from Knoxville and have been going to the mountains all my life. It certainly has changed a lot. Agree with others' suggestions of staying in Wears Valley or Townsend and driving in, probably just a day Gatlinburg and a day in Pigeon Forge. Start days as early as you can beat the crowds. So many...
re: Is there a Local restaurant that has lost your business forever?
Posted by Handbasket on 2/17/16 at 3:11 pm
Oh boy, I wish I could give you more up votes. Dude thinks he's right about everything and gets confrontational with customers, takes it upon himself to terrorize his mostly young female staff. I almost feel sorry for his wife...almost....
re: Best book(s) about Civil War?
Posted by Handbasket on 2/17/16 at 6:04 am
I enjoyed Frock Coats and Epaulets - according to Amazon "A highly regarded psychological analysis of Confederate military and political leaders." It was first published in 1963, and is very well written, paced well. Maybe keep in mind for when you want to approach from a different perspective.

re: Doc Martin: when did English comedy become funny?
Posted by Handbasket on 2/17/16 at 5:14 am
I'm jumping in late here, but British TV is almost exclusively what I watch, though more drama than comedy. I definitely second Black Books from about 15 years ago, and of course the classic early 90's Jeeves and Wooster - a Wodehouse turn of phrase never loses the appeal.
As far as casting goes,...
re: Pizza in Baton Rouge
Posted by Handbasket on 2/1/16 at 3:03 pm
Whole Foods actually has good pizza too. There's a place up here in Zachary called Chubby's that has great pizza. I miss Oscar's and Chef Bogdan's Dolce Vita truck. :wah:...

So looking forward to this. It looks like they pulled out all the stops, and it really needs to be seen on the big screen. Thanks for posting - I'd forgotten it was coming out so soon....
re: What's the best store bought dip that resembles the cheese dip at mexican
Posted by Handbasket on 11/15/15 at 3:27 pm
That's pretty much what I do and add a pat of butter. It's not exactly health food anyway. This woman suggests using a double broiler to cut down on heat.

re: Spinoff From Vinegar Thread - Do You Drink Pickle Juice?
Posted by Handbasket on 9/25/15 at 1:16 pm
Yes. I'm not a sweets person, but I CRAVE things like pickles, olives, etc. I used to pour pickle juice into a bowl, freeze it, top with more pickle juice, and eat it like a slushy. I figured since I'm getting older, that might not be so good for the blood pressure....
