She did make me promise to rinse after swimming to keep it shiny.
As a kid (we had a pool in the backyard), ever summer the ends of my hair would be green by the time school started again. Definitely rinse your hair after swimming.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think the St. Louis is near what I think of as the oyster district, several oyster bars in the same block.
Yeah, my boss loves one place on Bourbon, next to the Royal Sonesta hotel.

Desire Oyster Bar? It's actually in the Royal Sonesta, I think. Acme Oyster is the one I always think of. There are many.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was hanging out with my NOLA relatives this weekend. They rhapsodised over places to get good hooch. The only one I can remember is Bank Cafe -- I think it was their martinis that stood out.

I just took a look at the Commander's Palace online menu. Are we thinking of doing the chef's playground tasting as a group? Because other than that, the food prices aren't looking nearly as scary as people's comments had led me to believe — the appetizer/entree/dessert combinations are in the 30s, and there are several a la carte entrees that are less than $30.

+wine. Which, in my experience, can quickly become a substantial portion of the bill when dining in a group. But $50/person was what I was mentally budgeting. That's a lot in my world.

Mine too, actually. But I was surprised to see that I have food options within a few miles of my home that would cost more than all except the grand tasting at Commander's (which is $85 without wine, by the way). I was expecting the entrees to start at $40 rather than finishing there.

Looks like rain this weekend. [link] Scattered thundershowers every day. Sometimes those don't come to much and you can just duck into a bar/museum/antique shop for the duration.

Ann, that's a ferret.
-t, is "scattered thundershowers" weatherese for, "it's summer, so there's automatically at least a 20% chance of rain, regardless," or a sign of something more serious?
Also, in the "to ingest" list, I'd add Dixie Beer if they still make it. Not that it's particularly great beer, but it is locally brewed.

Fred, Abita is locally brewed, too, and it's very good.
