Lenetta - St. Louis is just a ways up the river from both Memphis and New Orleans - Missouri was built on French westward expansion...

I stand corrected - apparently the Louisianans keep moisture away from boudin.

I've had it two ways - parboiled then grilled with sauteed onion ("ahn-YOHN") and green pepper, or baked in a creole or dirty rice casserole. Either way, I'd cook them very slow with lots of moisture - basting or low boil or a wet bake - it should …

I've always heard it pronounced "bow-DA(n)" (the N is inflected, not really pronounced). It's spicy rice sausage, right?

But of course we'd have to admit that your Kingdom of Callaway was part of the South... x;-)

... or Country Time® Lemonade, or cherry Kool-Aid®! (If I'm gonna do "sweet," it's gotta be super-sweet. Otherwise, just give me a wedge of lemon in my iced tead.)

My husband swears by charcoal, and we've been using the Weber at least twice a week since the first of June. He says the extra flavor is worth whatever extra effort may be perceived. From my experience, a charcoal grill isn't any harder to maintai…

Mom made something similar when I was a kid, except with us living on a farm, meat was mandatory, so she'd brown some ground beef or slice up kielbasa in the mix. OH, and we are all onion fans, which was added after the zucchini and squash were don…

Until I looked it up on dictionary.com, I thought it was a Midwestern slang term made up from "glue" and "mash." From dictionary.com: glom Slang [Probably from Scots glam, to snatch at.] v. glommed, glom·ming, gloms v. tr.: To steal. To seize…

Actually, I've been through Idaho and also loved it. The Grand Tetons kick all the other continental ranges' butts! And you're not far from the desert, the "temperate" rain forest, the wilderness or the ocean. I've seriously thought about disappe…

Nae, I may be moving to your neck of the woods: all my family are in Kansas (Wichita, Hutchinson, and Emporia).

Paul, if you've made a commitment to HR, I'm sure you can't just leave "at any time"; my commitment wasn't to HR, but to the employer who needed someone in HR. I think I just have to take this once in a lifetime opportunity, considering all the oth…

Oh, I won't shave it completely, I've got some bald spots and indentations that would look hideous. But I'd really like to do something like Susan Powter had. And even if I did shave, I wouldn't do it [i]just before going to the beach...[/i] Are …

He has apparently been removed or has removed himself from the other forum. I haven't been over there for quite a while, so I don't know the details, but the situation was big enough to prompt a membership-wide email from the forum admin...

What gets me is that displaying "colored eggs, bunnies, and chickies" in the springtime are all of pagan origin - they're all traditional fertility symbols. So in displaying these things (similar to Christmas trees and lights and wreaths and candle…

I like dictionary.com: moot (moot) n.: 1. Law. A hypothetical case argued by law students as an exercise. 2. An ancient English meeting, especially a representative meeting of the freemen of a shire. tr.v.: moot•ed, moot•ing, moots - 1a. To bri…

>"Our new website will be debuting April 15th." I think I'd rephrase it to "Our new website opens April 15th." As the term [i]debut[/i] traditionally has referred to the human act of being first presented in society (hence the term [i]debutant…

Okay, time to reveal something: I misuse or mispronounce only five things on this list. One of my hobbies (while showering or driving, etc.) is dissecting the English language. From where did a word or saying come? Why did Joe use that phrase? …

My maiden name is Scottish, and for years, my family would wear orange ("William of Orange") instead of green. But I'm wearing green today!

I studied biochemistry in school and flunked out on advanced calculus and chemistry (I was more interested in ... people). So I did the secretary thing for years, fell into IT due to accrued skills, then was squeezed into HR because a former superv…

Even with only 52 positions on our organization chart, the longest "leg" of it has five layers (last level being three employees answering to a supervisor that has no real power at level 4).

HRinNH - you say you want to train cats when they're babies. Is seven months old too late to start water training? My kitties seem to enjoy the concept of water. Any water that isn't in their water dish, that is - they don't want to have anything…

Judy - are you insinuating I'm mental about my cats? Actually, now that I think about it, I probably could be considered obsessive. I've waited 16 years to get a cat, and in July my hubby and I were finally able to adopt a pair out of the same lit…

Cats will hide keys... x;-)

The cat & alarm clock thing is also too true; I'll have to remember that one. Now that I've had to use 1) cat got sick all over the clothes I layed out last night, 2) cat not reacting well to medicine and I have to follow it around so it doesn…

My boss's name brings up an applicable anagram: CURE THY RENT SOB (she conducts hearings for those who have had their housing lease terminated for not paying rent, and she's known to have a soft heart when a tenant cries)

Tell your vendor to send their excess over to Missouri! The whole state has been "short" the past three years.
