Wasn’t the Battle of Port Hudson one of the bloodiest of the Civil War…and actually happened after the war was officially over?


It was in 1863. There were many battles with more casualties, but it was the second most costly siege, after Vicksburg.
I like the canned, whole berry sauce, but my wife found a recipe for cranberry chutney and that has taken its place.

Then he ends it with this.

“Don’t confront me with my failures; I had not forgotten them“. One of my favorite lines of any song.


A brilliant song, but I like Gregg's version of it better than Jackson's. I think Gregg changed the line to:

“Don’t confront me with my failures; I'm aware of them.“

In any case, this is very sad. The man has endured his share of tragedies.

Live mascots (except maybe Bevo, Mike, Ralphie) are welcome in Jordan-Hare. The one requirement is that they are taken off the field and down the tunnel to the visitors' locker room prior to and during the eagle flight.


True, except for Uga. We've asked them to place him at the 50-yard-line so he can get a better view of the eagle flight.

Might not be anyone there to hold them accountable. Staffs have been severely cut back and deadlines are immediate, not daily.

The only ones I've had were from Divine Donuts in Vicksburg. I loved them enough to stop every time I go through. Their kolaches are good too.

Peanut butter.


The Aztecs and Incas made peanut butter. Several people, including George Kellog, patented ways to make peanut butter before George Washington Carver published his paper on growing peanuts and what you could do with them. GCW was a talented horticulturalist, but he did not invent peanut butter.

Still should get stomped by a normal sec team


They are getting stomped. I'm not sure if Auburn is a normal SEC team, but we are taking care of business.
My wife makes turkey noodle soup with the carcass and turkey salad with the leftover meat. It's what I enjoy most about the turkey.
I got one of these PepperMate pepper mills last year and really like it:

Spices from Burlap and Barrel are nice too:

I don't have one. I don't need one, but I am kind of intrigued by what I hear about the induction hot plates.
The Portuguese are big into canned fish. I have not sampled any of it, but they like it.

I like a tin of sardines or kippered herring now and then.

I've never eaten at one either. Just a chicken finger place...
PoBoy Shop is all I've got. There are places around town, but nothing special. There's always Pappadeaux's.
