re: Mu Alpha Theta State Convention

In the mid and late seventies, believe it or not, Bonnabel High School dominated this.
In the early to mid 70's, East Jefferson dominated MAO. After Bonnabel spun off to another school in 1975, EJ and Bonnabel together created a voting bloc that ruled MAO politics. Credit to Jacqueline Dilman, the EJ advisor for that. EJ and Bonnabel would divy up the offices as they wished.

The 2 years I went to the convention, '75, '76, East Jefferson crushed all competition in the competitive events.

So it's not really closing they just moving into the new building being built in is location
Yep.

I think there's only 3 left - this one, Destrehan and LaPlace. The one on Clearview in Metairie closed last year.

They once had about a hundred or more.


Tulane will demolish one of the few remaining Frostops to make way for additional housing. Ted's Frostop will have a space inside.

The development will also include a new home for the iconic Ted’s Frostop diner, currently located at the corner of Claiborne Avenue and Calhoun Street. The project, which will be bordered by S. Claiborne Avenue, S. Miro Street and Calhoun Street, will provide an updated long-term home for Ted’s Frostop within the new building, which will also incorporate both the existing Ted’s Frostop sign and the beloved “Frostop Mug.” Lot-o-Burgers and other menu offerings will be served as always.


Tulane
I think that "Man v Food" guy ate 15 dozen in about 20 minutes when he was there.
There was a time when Russel's Shortstop had them on poboys. (Not anymore, though.)

I think Stadium Rat has posted some before.
I don't think I posted any old ones, but I do have a book that has some. I'll have to digitize them, though.

I guess I understand the downvotes, but I actually came here to comment on what he meant to me in my time at LSU.

Googled before I posted and saw nothing and that's why I asked here.

Best wishes for Coach.

How's Dale Brown Doing?

Stupid Facebook told me he died today.

Red Boat is good and fine for a finishing or dipping sauce but a complete waste of money if its added to a cooked dish.
Why no Red Boat in a cooked dish?

Ok so, it was good . It wasn't great.
I don't like a strong seafood stock to flavor the jambalaya. I'd use half seafood and half chicken stock, me.

Red Boat
I just bought some of this before my post and I tasted on my finger, and I have to say it was better than what I had been using, which was the very cheap "Lucky" brand.

What's the Best Value Fish Sauce?

Looking for a good fish sauce that won't break the bank.

Wow, an 12 year bump.

When are you going to incorporate some Gen AI into the JC, Rat?
Old dog, new tricks? I don't think so. . .
Where is MeridianDog when we need him?

He worked extensively with spices for McCormick, even developing spice mixes for them. If I remember correctly, one was a crab boil spice mix.
Some of the spices in crab boil are oil-soluble, so it would be reasonable to expect oil in the concentrate.

I think the difference is that the concentrate doesn't use spices, it uses essences of the spices. (ETA: should have said extracts)

Not sure, though.
I wish it had stopped with the first 2 sentences.

The rest is sloppy.
