This is a profound shame, as in each of their incarnations, they had the best Cajun food I ever tasted (and this is from someone whos eaten at K-Pauls in New Orleans).

You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the total blue.

I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar at B.D.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're manic depressive mixed with habitual liar. Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

We have two systems (although one isn't very systematic) of shrimp size nomenclatu Number of shrimp per pound Vague identifiers such as small, medium, large, jumbo, colossal. Serious cooks try to buy their shrimp by "number per pound". The term prawn is occasionally used for the largest specimens, although usually on menus. We use the word "shrimp" to refer to a particular class of crustaceans; the defining feature appears to be that their legs aren't strong enough to walk on. Lobster have stronger legs. Generally, "lobster" unmodified refers to Homarus americanus. I have eaten a fair number of "African Rock Lobster" tails and "langostinos" as well. Freshwater lobsters are generally called crayfish, crawfish, or crawdads. Cindy Hamilton |

You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the total blue. After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3 years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY MOVING IN WITH YOU? That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2 years. Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're manic depressive mixed with habitual liar. Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Buy 21-30 count shrimp and that means an average of 21-30 shrimp in a pound. Buy 31-40 count and that's 31-40 shrimp in a pound. For eating plain, I prefer the 31-40 or the 41-50. Nice bite-sized. Also, the smaller the shrimp, the more taste they have. The large ones are more bland but work well to butterfly and sautee in garlic, etc. |

It's no fun but it could be worse. Your super hearing probably means your ear hardware and brain processing is in tip top shape. My brain is deteriorating somewhat. That's the breaks. |
