That thread about what have you done this decade makes me think of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer sells his stories to J. Peterman...

We did?

60% of all charities I’ve given money to in the last decade sent me a piece of mail this weekend. I expect the other 40% today and tomorrow.

I’m not a big celery eater. I buy it maybe once a year when I have dressing/stuffing at Thanksgiving. But even then I can only use about 1/2 the bunch. What do I do with the other half? Stir my Bloody Mary?

I didn't know that celery had a different use.

(actually: celery, green pepper, and onions are the "holy trinity" of Cajun cooking -- might want to find a nice warm gumbo recipe for cold days ahead).

We did.

Did I know what it meant when I did it?

Sorry for your loss DinK. Prayers and vibes.

I'm sorry DinK.

My condolences, DinK

Sending you my condolences, DinK.

Thank you. His celebration of life will be next Sunday - there will be lots of cookies. He had a sweet tooth. And a love of iced tea.

Well, the cool kids did.

i often use mushrooms and onions for my non-Cajun cooking. For example, spaghetti, SOS.

No one has ever accused me of being cool.

No. One.

Modern update: toast the flour in a hot enameled cast iron pan. Stir constantly, and I mean constantly. Lowers the amount of oil/fat in recipe. Add it to the rest of the cooked down vegetables and andouille mush it all around and then the liquid and the browned skinless chicken or whatever.

Get outta here with the sassafras. That's just wrong. Cooked down okra is de rigueur.

No. One.

Keep working on it. Some young people call me cool when I put that plate of gumbo down in front of them. Maybe they mean being fed is cool but I'll take it.

I suffer from the same affliction.

People have told me that at am cold at times. But I’m indifferent to their feelings on the matter.

That double vision certainly helps when one is south of the border in Juarez.
