Any reasonable human being today can only hold this place in about the same regard as the Garden of Eden.  I swear this is the best Popeye’s anywhere outside the great State of Louisiana.

I am lucky enough to have a 2 hour layover here on a Friday night.   If I can’t be at home or at Dan Nichols Park, I might as well be here.  

Popeyes dropped their chicken Po-boy from the menu Corp wide. I am all broke up about it. I sent in a virtual complaint. They didn’t respond. Enjoy it while in the ATL.

I don’t.    3 goals, 3 points and a title for the Manc’s......

......... That’s it folks.  I have failed to get this thread sunk, but ball-by-ball updates from the cricket might just do the trick......

Hopefully the Mancs will slip up. I like Klopp and City don't deserve to buy another title.

As for the cricket, what greater joy is there in life than TMS on the radio, especially if we're beating the Aussies in a Test series.

Agreed.  Your top 3 TMS commentators? 

Classic era - has to be Blowers.
90s onwards - Aggers.
New generation - Ebony Rainford Brent
A special mention has to go to the Bearded Wonder for technical support.

Making “The Queen of the Greens” Local Florida Blieberry French Toast Casserole. The casserole is cooking and am slowly bringing the compote portion of the recipe to completion.Waiting for the berries to burst and then will add butter and pour it over the casserole. Pictures when it happens. Enjoy Mother’s day folks.

Agree with Blowers.
Never been that fond of Aggers, tries too hard.  I'd plump for Vic Marks instead
I thought Ed Smith was good, and his books are too.

Met the Bearded Wonder in the mid 80's, lovely chap.

Special mention for Tony Cozier.  My favourite ever voice in sport.

Sanding the Blackstone griddle top smooth before I take the time and season it. Going to see what griddle top I like more between the new and older version. My sister in law called dibs on the older 36". Just need to figure out what top she gets with it.

SamIAm2

That was awesome! Will get to find out what it is like cold later this week. SWMBO gave me thumbs up, cleaned her plate. Going berry picking three days in a row was worth it. Used 4 cups of blueberries for this recipe.

Weird.  Never seen my street flood before.  Even through all the hurricanes.

Got my car moved before water got in, but some not so lucky.

Yow; good luck, Carey.

We have had torrential down pours since Thursday evening. It has been relentless. Right up the road from my house, the Perkingston camp ground is underwater. The water came up so fast that the people wasn’t able to get their campers out.

@sumoconnell Yup.  Once basil or cilantro flowers (bolts) it's almost best just to let it seed out and use it to replant for next year's harvest. 

Botch

Grilled a steak and made a "brined baked potato", an idea I've wanted to try.  Dissolved a Tblspn of salt in a couple cups of water, pricked my Russet all over with my sausage pricker, and let it soak for about an hour, dried it off and baked to 200º.  
Seemed to be seasoned just fine, I didn't add any salt, but would like to try it again with a "control", unsalted spud, side-by-side.

Update:  Turns out I did get water in my car.

Sorry Buddy, we are getting a lot of rain too but nothing like that.

Son of a b!tch.  Dodge the hurricanes, levee breaks and now this.  That truly sucks.  Only the passenger compartment...?  I'm sure you have wet-dry vac(s) but don't wait to get rid of the moisture.  What a screw job. 

On the other hand - nice companion for Jazz.  Time to train regarding raccoons.

Mom wanted steak, so steak it was:

I noted you had actual pimento wood for the cook, did it make a big difference in taste that you could tell?  

TideEggHead

@Botch So it definitely helped. It still is not quite the exact same taste but it's pretty close. I did not go full tilt with larger hunks of pimento under the chicken and I didn't have pimento leaves, I only used chips in a foil pack. I did put some larger chips directly under the chicken between it and the grate. This is the first time I've used pimento wood and I would say this was the best jerk chicken I've made yet.

Seasoned with lard. I find this the easiest and cheapest way to season/reseason.

Amazon messed up my grocery order, so I changed my planned meal and made duck confit nachos.
