I’m working on the new book, tentatively entitled “Arlo & Janis after Dark,” and here I am giving away the merchandise. Yes, production of the new book is behind schedule, but I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. And yes, it’s mostly old material, but if you’re worried that you’ve seen a lot of it already, think how I feel.

Where Laura? Uptown, Garden District, Quarter, lakefront? I have not lived there since 1974 and I still miss it.

Romam profectus sequimur.
Ruth Anne, your recipe will make a tasty spread. But the title gave me a start. Can be misread, like ‘How to Serve Man’.
Morphy: 🙂
Anon, I take a small pride in knowing a few things. But that is obscure.
More information is required for this poor Presbyterian to understand your Romans and what they may be following/proclaiming/?. Care to elaborate, or do you feel your point is made?
Something happened to my post. I have stack of Louisiana cookbooks down. Never found husbands quick pate recipe for daughter but figured out most of it from memory as it began life as my pate for parties about 50 years ago.
Anyone want more oyster recipes? I found Casino, Dunbar and Bienville recipes.
Anon, full points on brevity. But clarity around here is best found in English. Possibly other languages with a CURRENT speaking population over one-million souls. Or have you shown your superior intellect, and esoteric knowledge, and are busy wallowing in glory?
Maybe you mistranslated a current idea into a dead language?
Very seldom do I claim to speak another language . If anyone here is fan of King of the Hill they will remember Peggy the wife who thought she spoke Spanish but actually said most godawful things she did not intend.
That’s me. Not anon any more I am signed in now on all machines. Just me on bad Spanish and menu French.
But could you ever understand, forgive the spelling, Boomhauer?
Just about like Peggy’s Spanish. Here’s Peggy testifying in Spanish she mangled.

Loved this entire show. I will find a good Boomhaeur
Went to look it up, surprised I spelled it right.
But it reminded me of Brittany Murphy.
She and Heath Ledger.
Two of the most interesting actors of their time.
Hope the village is not bored of my suggestions
But I *highly* recommend : The Ramen Girl
Sorry, guess I shouldn’t just let that hang there.
Think Karate Kid, but for a heart-broken, I mean torn asunder kind of heart-broken, adult woman in a strange land. Relearning life, love, and how to thrive. Get your Kleenex. Then be ready to cheer. Then mourn our loss of this still young talent. Grab some good ramen. And know we will be blessed with more joy.
Here is a YouTube video of Boomhauer calling 911 when the Megalo Martin blows up.

In the seasons finale it is revealed that Boomhaeur is a Texas Rangers who has been living incognito as an unemployed electrician on Workman’s Compensation. I can buy that, a confirmed Batchelor, loves women, fast cars and guns as I recall.
Oh my gosh, I gave up on that series too soon. I had now idea of Boomhauer’s credentials.
I found recipes for Oysters Dunbar, Oysters Bienville, Oysters Casino.
Jackie, I lived in Slidell for five years and then we moved ontoLake Catherine. We livedinafishcamp.
Wow! I live in a much remodeled fishing camp on Lake here and grew up in Louisiana on a cotton farm on banks of the Tensas River.
Here is one of my favorite carols, O Holy Night sung by New Orleans native son, Aaron Neville.

And just so I can get homesick for Lafayette and south Louisiana, here is a zydeco Christmas with video from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, the crayfish Capitol.

Walt Kelly always had some great mangling of various carols this time of year. I really miss Pogo.

Mark, Boston Charlie is fun, though I can’t claim reading the first run.
I have fallen victim to eggcorns and mondegreens many times. But the one that always comes to mind at religious times was my pre-reading age understanding of Psalm 23. I really thought Jesus was supposed to be a pretty cool guy, and I was pretty sure that was who was meant by ‘Lord’ and ‘shepherd’. Why don’t I want Him? Isn’t green pastures a pretty cool place to lie down? Comma placement, and phrased breathing while reciting is very important to message. I really felt like I wasn’t getting this whole God thing until I figured that one out.
In case you’d like to hear Deck US All in Boston Charlie here it is with original Pogo strips.
