re: Bachelor Trip @ Hard Rock Biloxi
Posted by thatoneguy on 3/25/24 at 1:16 pm
I don't know how it is now, but we used to stay there pretty frequently 4+ years ago. The rooms, pool, and spa are all nice. Any time we wanted a big gambling night though, we'd walk down to the Beau since it's larger and had better games. ...

[quote]You guys have any seasons relatively recent that were exciting.[/quote]
If you mean from the modern era of survivor (which I kind of consider "modern" to be anything on Fiji), check out season 37 David vs. Goliath
If you're fine going with older classic seasons, season 7 Pearl Islands a...

Nice, that was me inquiring about it a few months ago - glad it worked out for you! We have entergy and I haven't gotten around to signing up for it yet. Looks like I need to bump that up on the priority list. ...

This is pretty much the recipe I use, except no mustard powder and I like to add thyme. I'd also recommend doing double the onions, and also browning the sausage beforehand. ...

Thanks, I was considering Rouj Creole also. We've been there before with the kids and enjoyed it, so we'll probably wind up back there. ...
Soji for birthday dinner w/ young kids
Posted by thatoneguy on 9/8/23 at 1:07 pm
Hi all,
I've heard great things about Soji and want to go there for my birthday dinner. We have two young kids around 1 and 3 years old. Would it be okay to go there, or should I look somewhere else? I don't see a kid's menu or anything, so that's giving me hesitation....

No idea - their website gives zero information beyond what's below. I don't want to deal with the hassle if it's worthless though, so I wanted to see what other people have experienced first.

Entergy Auditing/Rebate Programs
Posted by thatoneguy on 8/21/23 at 3:57 pm
Has anyone used Entergy's energy auditing system in the Baton Rouge area? Their website just says to call for more info, and I was curious if it's worth it.
Our AC system is relatively new and we just replaced our windows recently, but we could probably use some better attic insulation. ...

re: Are we watching Big Brother this year or not?
Posted by thatoneguy on 7/31/23 at 11:20 am
Spinoff question: how does this show compare to Survivor? I've heard it kind of pitched as "survivor, but they're stuck in a house".
I've gotten into Survivor in the past few years and have watched most of the seasons prior to 20, and they're damn good reality television. ...

Thanks. This stuff is very fresh caught, so I think this is the method I'll go for. I'm a pretty big fan of letting meat's flavor speak for itself with just salt and pepper for seasonin...
Unexpectedly got some swordfish filets. How would you cook it?
Posted by thatoneguy on 7/10/23 at 10:44 am
A friend went deep sea fishing and gave us two large filets of swordfish they caught. These are pretty large steaks, about the size of a decent NY strip.
My grill is out of commission at the moment, but I could do just about any other cooking method. On quick research, it seems that a quick p...

That's their main concern. They're trying to figure out if it makes more sense to either walk or take a train to a secondary location and then request a ride from there. They're flying and want to avoid paying for a rental so a taxi or rideshare app is...
