Fiestaware? - Zamms

I misread that as you had most of your kitchen STAFF ready to be boxed. - Greg GuitarBuster

making a little glove... - Pete's Got To Go

We're big fans of Romo out here. He's a great player, and he's a fan favorite. - Brian Johns

"If you've been paying attention to the food scene in the District this year, you'll have noticed a trend: Week after week of restaurant openings on 14th St. have flooded one of DC's already busiest corridors with even more options for diners." - Derrick

I've only eaten (and drank) at the ChurchKey, but I can tell you it rocks. Definitely check it out. Deep fried mac & cheese! - Christa

aw, hon. *hugs* - RepoRat

;-) - YvonneM

YAY! \o/ - holly #ravingfangirl

It was a nice respite from me being move-crazy. Going to *try* to see if I can see Laura B. at some point too, but time is tight. :( - Derrick

I love them. - Mary Carmen

Um... http://www.nola.com/crime... - Derrick

^Dude... no. - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart

Arabi is on the other side of the Lower 9th and was REALLY hit hard by Katrina and there was some major flooding. That's all I really know about the area. And that St. Bernard can have some uh, tense race relations (although that's true of the entire state). O_o - Derrick

I did find a hambone from honeybaked that I wish I knew was in there; that would've made for an awesome pot of beans. - Derrick

Well, it should be your last crazy summer bill, right? - Katy S

Yeah, they actually gave it to me over the phone when I called to disconnect service. - Derrick

Moving day is Friday? - Julian

Yep. - Derrick

"Guacamole lovers rejoice: not only do avocados protect vision, reduced heart attack risk, and potentially ward off cancer, but they can also slim your waist and keep extra pounds off, according to surprising new research. In fact, this nutrient-packed green superfruit has such an amazing bounty of health benefits that it’s been called “the world’s most perfect food.” Here’s a look at why avocados—not just apples—might just be your best bet for keeping the doctor away." - Derrick

This article is wrong, anyway. Vegemite on toast is the world's most perfect food. - Melly #FForever

Helen really liked it. I thought Tennant did a very good job. Good acting all round in fairness, good writing, well-paced. Will watched it when it was originally broadcast :) - Pete's Got To Go

And there are my comparisons to "The Killing" which I watched up to a point (maybe a little more than halfway?) and it was just SO bleak and SO dire and dreary and rainy and tough and intense. I will say that I like the writing, the performances and that, despite it's plot and content, is more accessible for me as a viewer. - Derrick

Oh my. - Zamms

I'm already conducting crucial culinary research. - Derrick

Right? - Jennifer Dittrich

I'm moving in with Derrick ASAP. Just putting that out there now. - Hookuh Tinypants

Turns out potential tenants are nice and they get that I'm in the middle of all this upheaval, but it just throws a monkey wrench into the middle of your plans. - Derrick

AND NOW THIS MAN HAS FLAKED. Because of course his friends are in a blues band and just happened to show up from Mississippi. Of course. That is SO New Orleans. Hell, bring them by too. I've got plenty beer. - Derrick

"I smell like Comet and the non-profit group I'm donating my car to." HAHAHA. I had to read it twice. - Trish R

haha, I see you, Trish. *scrubs* - Derrick

It's all good, some people reek of pure profit. - Micah

Start at the Capitol, the mall is a dividing line as are variations of Capitol St. - Derrick

next summer you should visit Camden Yards, one of the most beautiful parks out there. - Sir Shuping is just sir

We have a faculty member who does that every summer. I'm not sure how many parks he's been to. - LB ❤s FF

I want to go there. - Jenny H.

My brunch companion also ordered bacon so they brought both orders out on the one dish and I swear it looked like half a damn pig. It was kind of glorious. The waffle's no joke either. - Derrick

It's SO beautiful. Very striking cinematography, production design, etc., but the story's a bit thin. Oh well. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't very good. - Derrick

I think it's worth seeing, but you'll likely notice it's a little derivative, but stunning in the pretty. - Derrick

"Comfort me with a Blueberry Tart. So much fresh flavor with the pie crust, pastry cream, and fresh blueberries." - Derrick

Found one I like from Cook's Illustrated! *\o/* - Derrick

Did he ever put her in a headlock? - Brian Johns

Seeing as how he's still alive, no. - Derrick

What was his son like? - Stephen Mack

He was cool. Nice guy, was into sports and played a lot of water polo, swimming, skateboarding, went to the beach. Typical SD dude. I looked at his FB page recently and it seems to not have any of that drama from his dad attached to it, so that's good. - Derrick

Lord have mercy this nap. It was like the Wikipedia entry of naps, but only because it started to rain as I was falling asleep. And three hours long! Also, 65/35 lemonade to tea. Roughly. - Derrick

Apparently you do it ice tea, then lemonade, then more ice tea. https://www.youtube.com/watch... - Brian Johns

"These little hand pies are filled with a really nice fall apple-sausage-mushroom and (of course) butternut squash and sage center. The crust is super flaky and made with butter, leaf lard, and sharp cheddar. I got the idea for these pies after tasting a really delicious sage and sausage apple pie at the Enid’s Apple Pie Bake-Off. I love me some savory and I love me some pie. I was inspired by the cute lil shape of these savory hand pies and I figured I’d get to baking!" - Derrick

Oh. Oh. Oh. - Jenny H.

You say that like it's a bad thing. :) - That's So CAJ!

I'll be happy once this is all over for sure. - Derrick

"art" - DJF

haha, when I was in film school I did A LOT of research on military/uniform fetish and Tom of Finland because I wanted to do an adaptation of a short story by Tennessee Williams titled, "One Arm" about a sailor who boxes in the Navy in San Diego and loses his arm in a car crash and becomes a hustler. Lots of homoeroticism there, obviously. But yeah. Research and art. - Derrick

CALL ME BIG DADDY WHEN YOU BACK THAT THANG UP / GIRL, WHO IS YOU PLAYING WITH, BACK THAT THANG UP. - Derrick

haha, it's already begun. Neighbors needed relish, ketchup, and mustard for the kid's hot dogs and burgers and also some cornmeal cause they're frying up some oysters. I handed it off, and they're tailgating on the sidewalk for the Saints game with a plate to be delivered to me in an hour or so. :) - Derrick

It's not like I still can't, but I was aiming to start like...three hours ago. *yawns* - Derrick

It's fun! And keeping me from working. At least for now. ONE more episode... - Derrick

:( - Anne Bouey

you cant order it and have it shipped? WTF? - ♫Maurice the Dolphin♫

Yep. - vicster.

For real, tho! - t-ra is ugly crying

New Orleans Public requested the graphic novels and I had tons. Jefferson Parish Library was where I did 95% of my library school homework and had the most amazing resources that surpassed even many academic libraries in the area. Donating felt really good, given what they've both given to me. - Derrick

Very good of you, fine sir. - Katy S

If you talk to Missy Abbott at NOLA Public, she is an old friend of mine. - Jason P

I ended up texting a classmate; quite of few of them work for NOPL now. But soon there will be Rachel! - Derrick

"These six slices are the perfect end to any meal or as an afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of coffee (preferably iced at this time of year)." - Derrick

I feel like I need to confront, attempt, and master piemaking. - Derrick

I do love banana cream, chocolate cream, and coconut cream pies...hrm. - Derrick

All of the above. (Plus, for me, custard cream and key lime.) - Akiva

"Grab them while you can, douse them in olive oil and sea salt (or slather them in mayo and throw them on toast), and sink your teeth into this refreshing, ephemeral fruit." - Derrick

Ah, roasting, secret knowledge. Thanks. - Todd Hoff
