i would look like i ate paul prudhomme in about 60 days if i lived out there. cajun/creole is my kryptonite. i am powerless against it.

bon temps cafe is a hidden gem. crawfish etoufee pot pie. i thought i'd died and gone to heaven.

i'll add: you need to do cafe du monde and eat the beignets on a bench in jackson square. but...if you really just need a beignet and cafe au lait fix, the location in city park is usually much less crowded and the park is nice.

jacques-imo's is a fun spot. my sister in law used to bartend there. long wait, but the owner will have a drink with you. pascal's manale - the brennans bought it, i believe. they've got a dude shucking oysters at the bar in the lobby while you wait. the barbecue shrimp are the deal. don't bother with anything else. camellia grill for breakfast. better than mother's. columns hotel for drinks after dinner. cochon is reliably good. brigsten's is excellent if you can get a table. brunch at oceana grill. they make a lot of the breakfast recipes from petunia's (which died shortly before or after katrina). crab cake eggs benedict and a mimosa. bananas foster french toast. all the crepes. i miss uglesich's (fried seafood dive that closed pre-katrina when they retired), eleven 79 (veal porterhouse was a game changer), and dick & jenny's (they relocated to buffalo ny for reasons i do not understand). if you are driving, central pizza, pop's po-boys (debris and oyster surf and turf poboy), and bon temps grill are all fantastic. afterward, buy a cheap cooler and load it up with frozen goodies and cracklin at best stop meat market in scott. their smoked boudin is absolutely killer. the stuffed pork chops are great too. i prefer their stuff over don's.

penalties and turnovers. that will be the ballgame. which crew will be reffing the game? please tell me it’s not slingblade…

the website trim (if that's what it is called) is dark blue for me, not orange.

we cannot look at any team’s offensive performance vs any defense as a predictor of our success. it’s shawn watson/tim beck bad this year.

i hated to see smothers go out again, but he was running like he was blindfolded. i don’t understand why sark didn’t just stay with the hot hand.

i think i’ll just stay here and drink - merle haggard

i bet poor joey high school had diarrhea after he read that

lead ref = slingblade the field judge was horrible

robertson and baker have been horrible. robertson was a known quantity but i think it was reasonable to expect baker to be better at guard than he has been. you can’t hide two pushovers in the middle of your line. it’s affecting everyone else on the line. …and when you run a pro-style play action offense (predominantly with 3rd-down back type RBs getting hit at or behind the line of scrimmage)…and you are unwilling to adjust your scheme to suit your personnel that YOU brought in…and you have a QB with tunnel vision and no pocket awareness… [sigh]

this OL is complete trash. it is inexcusable.
