Coach Sid as mayor might be the only chance to get this done.

It's a canary in the coal mine, it's an indication of what is to come. Go eat at the Chimes East. We're trying to have an adult discussion, leave the "this thread is dumb" out. Don't open threads you don't want to read.
Was St. George worth the effort? (rhetorical question)
Posted by andouille on 3/28/26 at 10:10 am
Getting onto more local matters, I'm in STG, but I'm beginning to think that this whole thing was a waste of time. Yes, we have some solid, smart, honest people at the helm, and I appreciate their service to the community, but in a very few years, this will likely be all undone.
When I take a ride down Coursey Blvd., I see the future of STG, and it will likely become a "Blue" city by 2040. We all know what happens when a city turns Blue, and it's not good.
I'm pretty old, so I likely won't see it happen, or a new bridge, but demographics is destiny. BR is now poorer, I expect conditions to deteriorate there, Hillar Moore doesn't have money to run a decent office, the PD will decline in numbers, street maintenance is looking more like New Orleans every day.
THe law abiding people in BR will want to escape, many of them will come to STG, unfortunately, they will vote the same way they were taught.
I hope I'm wrong.

Yes, to students who have acquired basic math proficiency. You are wasting your time with the rest.

I have a Dewalt electric washer with about the same specs, it doesn't have the arse to do large areas like a driveway, I have a bell sprayer the resembles that also, it cuts the output of the sprayer in half.
If I may make a suggestion, keep the electric for small jobs, cleaning lawn chairs, grills, flower pots, etc.. The get a gasoline powered, I like Westinghouse or Simpson $300-$500, for big jobs, decks, driveways, sidewalks.
Caution: Never let a pressure washer near double pane windows.

1, Found out why my electric power washer is not working, check valve is stuck. No parts available. I'll check with DeWalt manana.

They are not crazy about sweets either. One morning I was picking up a van load of Chinese nationalists at 5:00am. I was trying to be thoughtful by getting coffee and doughnuts for the trip, big faux pas. they never touched any of it, gave it to the shipping agents.
I don't want all that water at the last second, but I don't want to lose any of the shrimp flavor. I peel and devein the shrimp, I like about 20 count, make a stock out of the heads and peel, then briefly poach the shrimp enough to extract water. Sometime I saute in butter.
I use the stock in the etouffee, when it's ready, I add all the shrimp and any juices back in. Until I used this technique, it was hard not to get a too thin sauce.

In one word, cache, a reboot clears it out and gives you a fresh start.
Focaccia Sour Dough looks great. If I can make a suggestion, I was about to bake some mini-muffaletta buns so I could bring these:
to a party. I had an idea, instead I baked a pan of Focaccia, sliced it in half, then put in all the muff stuff. Then I cut it into finger sandwich sizes, worked great. I wish I had taken a pic.

I asked Bill Pizzolato why he didn't open a location in SEBR, he said "why should I, SEBR comes to me."
True.

I am addicted to the dips now, I hope you have some of the chorizo I didn't get last week. Love the new location.
My wife liked the beet hummus, but the queso or the cheese are mine. The brie and apple bread is very good, too.

re: Consider the orange

Oranges are underrated. We always have them in the fridge, navels, satsumas, cuties, whatever we see that looks good. A little grated orange zest really elevates fish dishes.

Damn y'all are some snobs. The crawfish Monica turned out fantastic. Sorry I don't live in South La so I'm lucky to find crawfish at all up here.
I guess I could just use my imagination and wait until I plan a trip to la to buy the non China version
It's not a matter of snobbery, Chinese "crawfish" have a very different taste and texture, about the difference between hamburger and prime steak. Even Louisiana first rate frozen tails are not as good as the one you peel yourself. If I'm cooking for a crowd, I use the frozen, but for just my wife and I I'll sit down and peel some.
But, I understand you can only buy what is available to you, so close your eyes and think of Breaux Bridge.
Not likely, I have one office that has 2 workstations, identical installation, one gets gmail in outlook, the other doesn't. I going to make sure that they both have the same updates, as soon as I ger access.
GMail/Outlook Issues
Posted by andouille on 3/18/26 at 3:37 pm
I have had a deluge of service requests fro clients who were successfully getting GMail through Outlook, now get error codes.
Solutions tried:
Change the app password through Gmail, I get green checkmarks when I "Check account setting", but no mail.
Build a new profile in Outlook
Delete account and rebuild,
The error messages indicate it is an ISP setting, but I get them from Cox, ATT, Spectrum.
Delete and rebuild Windows credentials.
Right now they still get mail through webmail.
If any of you have run into this issue, let me know.
Thanks.

I disagree with Grok, mostly because I have seen those identical faces on many different posts. The faces are symmetrical and almost identical, the skin and features are flawless.
But, who am I to mess with your imagination, enjoy the pic.

I'm replying to myself, one of the people in my life who has terminal cancer, called me a few hours ago, we thought he had at least a year, now they are telling him, 6 months at best.
This man has been my friend for almost 40 years. He was my first business partner, he was a guy who always had my back and I had his. We spoke on the phone at least 3x a week, every problem, technical, business and personal was on the table.
He called me for his jams and I called him for mine. I am devastated and will do anything I can for he and his wife to help them through this.
