We eat at Chimes every time we come to BR so I wanted to try something different.
Parrain’s is good but be aware it’s the same family as Chime’s. Lots of menu overlap.

re: Did you see Phish, Grateful Dead, etc. back in the day?
Posted by PerplenGold on 4/6/26 at 5:30 am to YeastExtract
WSP around a dozen shows
Phish maybe 5 times
String Cheese around 5 too
wasn't much into the dead but had a buddy in a cover band, saw too many of those shows
pot, shrooms, molly, acid...so easy to get at any of them

re: Slice of Raw Onion on a Hamburger

Raw onions are a must. Pickles or pickled jalapenos too.
Lettuce & tomato sometimes. Even cheese isn't necessary.

re: Random thought about Heaven - how old are you up there?
Posted by PerplenGold on 4/3/26 at 8:09 am to The Mick
So many thoughts and responses based on mortal, earthly conceptions.
Why is there an appearance vs an awareness? Even in this mortal existence, on this planet, creatures see appearance very differently. Some don’t use eyesight at all. We may have something like an awareness that supersedes the need for appearance.
Recognition, our current existence involves introductions & questions/answers to form an understanding- where did you got to high school? All of these things may not be necessary when we’re in God’s afterlife.
Marriage, there could easily be a more euphoric reunion ahead of us.
Family, all saved souls could be part of a much more significant family of God making the earthly concept of family insignificant.

Time is a construct of mortality. What is time if you’re immortal? What is age?

Check out Sugar Beach. Used to be a sugar plantation. It’s on a peaceful cove that’s a beach with very light surf.
re: Pool filter cleaning
Posted by PerplenGold on 3/19/26 at 7:59 am to TheDude854
I bought one of those filter cleaning hose attachments, metal. Works better than a regular nozzle. If you back the hose away from the filter about 3-4 inches the streams converge for full pressure to get stubborn spots.
Also use a metal bar stool to wash the filters on. Basically a pedestal. Easier on the back but still a tedious/messy process.

re: Does Anyone Else Like Scrapple?
Posted by PerplenGold on 3/16/26 at 7:55 am to Missouri Waltz
Family friend’s grand parents were from PA. They made it several times along with lots of other regional dishes. Scrapple is an acquired taste. The other stuff they made was better.

Same, HEB has 8ish lb loins at $2.29/lb. That's a lot of protein for about $20.

I dont know how vital of a road 6th street is but if possible, they should consider shutting down vehicle traffic with that many pedestrians in the area .
E 6th can be closed to vehicles. W 6th is a major downtown corridor. 3-4 lanes wide, one way. Side streets are much smaller.
re: Favorite frozen pizza from the grocery store?
Posted by PerplenGold on 3/1/26 at 8:53 am to NorthTxLSU
Tried a Motor City last night, supreme was the only option available. Worst frozen pizza ever. Dough/crust sucked, not enough sauce or cheese, and needed more toppings for a premium brand.

Asian inspired rice bowls with seared salmon, roasted broccoli, kimchi, chili crisp & kewpie mayo drizzle. Probably something else I’m forgetting.

Watched SS last year on a family trip at my suggestion. Some incredibly hilarious scenes but lots of incredibly boring divorce/relationship stuff.
Reminded me exactly of Major League. Basically the same movie. Both are great.
re: Crawfish popularity in Texas

cooking in your backyard with family and friends. That’s where the best crawfish are found.
Texas has figured out they're good to eat but hasn't figured out how to cook them, equipment to buy, etc. Yet HEB makes it easy. They'll break up sacks and sell however many lbs you want.
The experience is flipped in TX. 99% of the people think buying at a restaurant is the norm. Standing around a table in a group feasting on a fresh batch is foreign. Forget finding any that have been properly soaked or even half-arse soaked. Restaurants don't bother with that since they dust.

re: Which do your prefer: Classic Diner or Jewish Deli

Had a jewish roommate for a while when I lived in Dallas. Got to try some jewish deli's, no idea how authentic. Some was good and some was odd to me. Would go back anytime for the sandwiches.
