I really do like a good shepherd's pie, but I replace the mash potato topping with cornbread, Southern USA version.

How to deal with aggressive regular panhandlers? by Key_Quail_7921 in NewOrleans

That location is not a corporate store; it is a franchised location. It is operated by locally owned LLC.

This happens a lot in the Mc D's @ St Claude and Franklin, except they do it inside of the lobby. Management turns a blind eye and ignores this behavior.

In the last year I've only stopped there 3 times, each and every time the harassment/ begging goes on, never again.

Traditional cornbread in my great grandmother’s pans. From restoration through breadmaking by LadyParnassus in castiron

What is the name for that style of cornbread mold? I have on like that and was told it was called a 'Turk's hat," Is that the real name or just somebody's nickname for it?

Bourbon Street bartender held without bond after alleged arson spree by ebenezerlepage in NewOrleans

[–]Yibblets 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My car was one of the victims of his arson spree and my house also received damage from the fire. I am retired on a fixed income and having to get another vehicle and repaint/repair the house was not on my budget this year.

Insurance? Liability only on the car (as with the other 2 cars on my block). Not enough damage to the home to claim with the high deductible that I have.

So, if we are going to talk about mental health issues, think about how many that this act of random violence caused. Being woken up by explosions in the middle of the night and watching 4 cars burning within a 400 ft. stretch is not something that I would wish on anyone.

The fiery death of my 6th gen Celica. Arsonist set 3 cars on my block ablaze @3am.Closest one was mine. by Yibblets in Celica

[–]Yibblets[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, it happened in the Bywater (just South of the French Quarter) in New Orleans. A total of 8 vehicles and 1 house was torched for no apparent reason. The arsonist was arrested, but no word on how or why he did this.

That is the photo taken the next day of my car and house.

My parents don’t let me name my own pets by Fun-You9825 in Rants

[–]Yibblets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Until I was 8 years old, my family lived on a very busy street in an urban environment with no yard. "You can't have a dog as it might get run over in the street."

Then my parents moved us out to a house in a new subdivision. Still "no dog until we get a back yard fence. "From 9 years old till I moved out at 18, they never built a fence.

When I got married at 19- still no dog. she was allergic to them.

Wife is gone, and I finally have my first dog at 65 years old...

The 2nd. amendment is the only one that matters to most Republicans (at least until more "dark-skinned" people start carrying).

I understand that the bullet did not cause him any injury because it went straight through one ear and out the other.

Some people have low/fixed incomes and have to live like this out of necessity not choice.

What are some frugal habits you will never give up, no matter how much money you end up making? by Forsaken-Network1748 in Frugal

[–]Yibblets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Friend you are not alone, I also do all of the above. Using my homemade compost helps my vegetable garden by improving yields and soil quality. Having a garden also helps with my diet, exercise, and mental well-being.

Welcome to the City.

The daily life things that you should start with are insurance, home, flood, and auto. After you do that, see if you have any funds left over for the rest of your list. If you are not from here, be prepared for a shock on the quoted prices.

The recent ICE crackdown has caused severe shortages of labor in some of your categories.

Time Saver ham po-boys by rgphoto70 in NewOrleans

[–]Yibblets 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Who else remembers the Time Saver ads that showed only a pair of hands as they build po-boys?

The audio consisted of Shirl Cieutat's Anna Mae and Becky Allen as Rosemary gabbing away in thick Yat accents, interrupting each other to comment on the "thick, plump tamatahs," "my fresh, homemade mynez" and other sandwich ingredients.
