Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
While creole cuisine is more rustic and provincial, cajun cuisine is more refined, in the tradition of classic French cuisine.
Creole was definitely the food of the city and Cajun of the bayous and backcountry.
As has already been said several times.
Nebber mind. I go back to paying bills now.
I apparently am overly-excited/yelly today. unsure why, maybe too much coffee.
I will very likely finish off the almond butter today. This pleases me way more than it should.
Good to hear. I just Googled - right in the Garden District, I see.
Ha! Kara would have a whole lecture about how Irish Channel is NOT Garden District, nor Lower Garden District. I don't care as much, so I'll spare you.
I think of Cajun as "Start with a good base. Throw everything in the pot, spice it up and see what we have," and Creole as native with European influences. Like fusion places are the new Creole sort of thing.
I should not try to explain myself on a Monday.
I was pretty busy this weekend and didn't keep up with news. I'm very disappointed to find out that the containment device for the oil leak in the gulf looks like a fail. I was hoping it would work even though doing it 5,000 feet down was always iffy.
msbelle, the hotel we stayed at this past weekend was hosting a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood (yay!) but there were protesters stationed all along the front of the hotel and across the street. We had to pass right by them with the kids walking to dinner. With Owen asking me about the stupid giant posters of aborted fetuses. Ugh. I wanted to smack the shit out of thost people.
When I was younger, I hated the new, hated watching the news, and hated keeping up with the news. Possibly since we watched the news while eating dinner every night of my life.
Then 9/11 happened, and I became obsessed with the news.
And now, I almost feel with the oil spill, that this news is too upsetting and there is nothing I can do about it, and even though it is news and we hear about it all the time, no one is really freaked out enough. Precious resource! Ruining the environment!
A fox ran out in front of my car Friday night.
A fox ran out in front of my car last night. Is there some fox migration thing going on? Maybe they're all following Nora to NOLA.
There are turkey vultures circling my office building. I hope they're here for the travel agency down the hall, and not for my company.
I say, I SAY!
oops. that's a chicken hawk.
well poop! I just realized that I am actually losing about $1 on the books I have sold via amazon this week. I think they much have increased the commision they charge. I could stop adding on delivery confirmation, I guess and then I'd just about break even.
I kind of love today's Groupon for SF: [link]
