A buddy of mine left Orange Beach to head home to Baton Rouge. His condo is on the top floor (13th).
He took off because once the power goes off, you can't raise the storm windows and the elevators don't work, not to mention all the other issues.

I've always boiled them in beer, with onions, then put all that on an upper grill rack to stay warm. When I wanted to serve one, I would crisp it up on the lower rack to get a char.
And now I want one.

re: Mother of the 6-year-old who shot his teacher blames incident on the boy's ADHD

In one recent story, a well-meaning bystander tried to pick up a dog that had been hurt in a car wreck. The dog, in pain, bit the bystander. Now the Animal Control wants to put the dog, a retired service dog, down and has kept the dog in a cage for over a year.
And here we have and out-of-control 6-year-old with an Andrew Dice Clay mouth, shooting his teacher with a gun he stole from his mom, while challenging cops, to come at him.
Excuse me for having more sympathy for the dog.

re: Do you use dates in cooking?
Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 10/8/26 at 8:19 am to CC
I made a stew-like dish the other day with a pork roast, saurkraut, cabbage, onion. turnips, apples, dark beer, whole grain mustard -- like of a German thing. Dates could be a substitute for the apple slices.

That's a good idea. I have made Swiss Steak before, but I never thought to use cubed steaks.

Depends on the locale. If you are in a small college town, no problem. If you are in a Bugtussle Walmart, problem.

Trust in the media has to be at an all time low, and they did it to themselves for the most part. In the post WWII era, journalism placed a lot of value on accuracy and objectivity. That doesn't mean they always met those goals, but most tried -- the head of the JM department at AU, a former AP Bureau Chief, said the three most important words in Journalism were "Accuracy, Accuracy, Accuracy."
Now you have a partisan media in disarray because of technology and constant change and the three most important words are "Clicks, Clicks, Clicks."

No.
Every family has challenges, but I can't complain. We worked through the challenges and I was fortunate to have had the parents I had, married the woman I married, and got to know her family. If someone was problematic, and there were a few, we just kept them at arms length.

re: Ancestors that fought in the Civil War?
Posted by SpotCheckBilly on 10/1/26 at 7:19 pm to BluegrassCardinal
My father had a grandfather who joined the Union army in North Carolina. Not sure why he was up there because he lived in north Alabama. After serving with them for a couple of years, he then served with the Confederate army until the war ended. He had discharge papers from both armies.
Best I can figure, that part of Alabama had a lot of Union sympathizers and he was a potato famine refugee from Ireland. He probably got swept up by some Confederates pressing men into the army. But then, he had seven daughters, so maybe he just wanted to get out of the house.
My wife's great grandfather fought in just about every major battle Robert E. Lee fought in for all four years and was in the thick of it in Antietam, Petersburg, Chancelersville, the Wilderness, and other places. His war ended at Appomattox Court House. How he survived all four years, beginning as a 16-year-old kid, I don't know. He walked home to south Alabama from Appomattox and lived to be 96. We have a picture of him at the 75th anniversary of Gettysburg. My MiL knew him well.
