If you come to Missouri, we'll probably tell you anyway, figuring it'd be a shame to see you have to go home without getting to lay into at least one good handful.
Wonderful post, Ellesu!
BTTT!
One of my waybacks musta taken a raft trip down your way at some point and had that part rub off on 'em cuz I'm afflicted too !
Fine post, E - and much thanks for all your updates during this mess ! :-)
Welcome to Texas; Just don't put ketchup on your steak, and we'll all get along fine. ;-)
Since my family comes from La, Mother and grandmother born there, and I still have family there, I don't think anything you say or eat is strange! I was raised with it! :-)
Well, we Texans are pretty laid back...so extra plates on the table are just fine with us...we don't mind adding a steak or burger on the grill...and brisket feeds a lot of people...
I think that a lot of Texans have spent a portion of time in NO...so we are just returning the visit...my son has gone to Mardi Gras twice, and his best friends family lives in NO...they are here in Dallas right now...they evacuated.
Please just know that what those snotty dems from the NE may say about the redneck riviera and other southern jokes..
have all been told ABOUT us...so in that respect, we can emphathize with YA'LL!
BTW, you should either start a paper, or write a book, you are a great writer, and post some terrific articles...
Louisiana folks are very simply - marvelous. :o)
We dance even if there's no radio. We drink at funerals. We talk too much and laugh too loud and live too large and, frankly, we're suspicious of others who don't.
Isn't that the only way to live?
