re: Volleyball parking

When I go to basketball games I park in the lot by Lockett Hall then walk down to the PMAC.
I have converted from ribeyes to Picanha at Costco. Picanha has gone up, but still much cheaper than ribeyes.

Got some flat iron steaks there two weeks ago and they were great. And cheaper than ribeyes. But I don’t remember seeing them previously. Will buy again if I do. The two flat irons fed 4 people two meals. I think it was $36.

Who the heck downvoted the Kisner video. That’s a great video.

This does nothing to move the government workers away from the corruption in DC and closer to the people they serve. That is what is needed.

Detroit style is not too hard to do at home and absolutely delicious.

I had Tramontes years ago and it was so seasoned, it was like a sausage patty. Are they still loaded with seasonings? I prefer Salt and pepper, maybe a little garlic.


Pre-seasoning affects the texture. Only season right before grilling.

This is silly. Daniels was so much better in year two - he was coached up by someone and Denbrock surely played a role.

This. It skews the representation in congress to the Dems and does not actually reflect the country made up of citizens.
Stove top roux - add trinity to stop the roux darkening.

Microwave roux, cook trinity in fat. Add roux after stock addition.

Both work.
Courtney Cox is technically, perhaps symmetrically, the most beautiful. But some imperfection, uniqueness, or perhaps a touch of asymmetry makes someone alluring and sexy. Cox didn’t quite have that aspect that Jennifer, and perhaps even Kudrow, did.

Disagree, whit is an average SEC LB. Watch the draft.


Although I think he is above average, he may indeed be average. But he is the best we have by quite a bit.

And that is the problem.
Well in the 1980s, LSU had a basketball player from California, whose family was supposedly on food stamps, driving a Nissan 300zx around town. I’m sure he saved his money and bought it himself, so I guess that isn’t proof.

Tore my Achilles at the final LSU home basketball game. Not the best year.

What games have you been watching?


I do confess, I’ve not watched Tennessee this year. Just the few previous years.
In general I’ve not been impressed with Tennessee when I’ve watched them in big games. And I’ve not seen quarterback play that has been stellar in those games. I think he is a pretty good coach, but I’ve not been impressed enough to put him that high on my list.

You should talk with several advisors. They will work up numbers and scenarios for you free of charge to try to get your business and explain what value they offer to you. But you don’t have to decide to go with them.

I did go with an advisor because my wife has no interest in managing money and I want her taken care of if I die. My one regret - not hiring him earlier. I think I could have made some better decisions in the last 5 years or so before I retired. I also wish I had put money in the Roth 401k when that option became available, but I was lazy and just stuck with the regular 401k.
My understanding is that the Baton Rouge library system budget is equivalent to Dallas (or much larger cities). They don’t need more money. Perhaps they still could do well with less.

Rotolo’s Craft and Crust Big Apple pizza when they get it right. About 10% of the time.

I also like Rocca.

Red Zeppelin Mothership tastes good for a loaded pizza, but their crust is not my favorite.

My homemade pizza baked on a steel at 550 is quite good and my favorite. Anyone can learn if you have patience and are willing to mess up/learn.
They probably do. Just not you. Need $$$$.
