1.) DParker - 06/30/2015
We all know that I take my gumbo-making seriously...almost as seriously as making chili. But I had to hang my head in shame upon learning that my own pursuit of soupy perfection just can't hold a candle to the dedication demonstrated by these guys.

This proves a number of things...I will list them as they occur to me...
This might take several days...
First, never trust anyone named Orlando. Abba had a fun song called [I]Fernando[/I] in 1976 or so, but number one, you had to be there, and number two, that's completely different from Orlando....
Second, there's a reason restaurant people get along so well with circus folk...
Third, things like knife fights between Cajun and Creole are what make this country great, no matter what Obama says about it...

I've been thinking about this overnight---you might say I've been digesting the news---and I wonder what spice set everyone off?
Or could it be that the media has gotten it wrong, and it's not about a spice, but about something [I]spicy[/I], like magic dust or an aspiring actress/gumbo waitress named Bubbles? Maybe a love triangle with a former South Alabama Crawfish Queen? Hawaiian Tropic model?
Hmmmmmm...
I should probably continue to ponder this ...

Orlando survived his wounds because he had a good team of doctors.

Are you gonna admit that BBQ is strictly pork, or whistle Dixie?

Billy might try to have me deported for this (but hopefully my zealous defense of proper chili has bought me enough credit to prevent that)...while I won't say that BBQ is [i]only[/i] pork, I will concede that the best BBQ is [i]usually[/i] made from pig parts. In fact my 2nd favorite place in the Metroplex is a Memphis-style joint.
But, one caveat...
"Burnt ends" from really good brisket smokehouses (like Lockhart's) blow the doors off even the best pork ribs.

For some reason the Office clip reminded me of that.

Cardamom is typically one of the ingredients in ready-made pickling spices and is used for various things, pickles, corned beef etc. Mustard Seed, Coriander Seed, Black Pepper, celery seed, bay leaf, cardamom. Couldn't tell you what it taste like though, I don't use it in my pickles as it is rather spendy if I recall.

After the fight, Orlando tried to get away in an abandoned Chevloray...:wink
It was abandoned because it was a test model designed to operate on biofuel and wouldn't run. After the owner accidentally ran the tank dry and the gumbo joint said it couldn't spare any grease from its fryers, the driver abandoned the vehicle and walked home, arriving there much faster than he would have anyway, at least if he'd filled up with low-fat.
Orlando raced to the car after the fight but found it wouldn't start and was soon apprehended, proving once again that relying on high technology after a deadly fight over gumbo is a recipe for disaster.
The car maker is planning to start selling this model soon, piggybacking on the opening of the new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. The vehicle will be called The Hydrogenator.
