New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
Surprised no one has mentioned the “All That Jazz” sandwich at Verdi Marte, open 24 hours. That has got to be the best late night drunk food to eat on the curb whilst dodging those goddamn street cleaners.

Gus Johnson? I can’t even.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
I FINALLY got to try the pepper jack boudin balls from Billy’s in Scott, LA. I’ve always been strictly a Don’s, Best Stop and Sausage Link customer. These balls from Billy’s are a fucking game changer.

Best Dining Experience
Don’t forget the cup o’ diabetes...that cherry lemonade. ETA: I think I’m referring to other carts, from a long ass time ago, because I don’t recall Korean tacos.

I’ve been looking into using a forwarding service. Which ones would you recommend?

I’ve heard that the OF 1910 supply has run dry. Just left Spec’s Round Rock with 3 bottles. There are 3 more left on the shelf now. It’s not in their office stash or anything.

Nope. That rule does not apply to kick returners.

I especially love how he derides other countries for not stopping immigrants from LEAVING their countries.

Is anyone playing ancestor roulette for Christmas?
I have been told that several of the leading DNA ancestry companies are owned operated by he LDS church, which would make sense, because their genealogy records are amazing. Anyway, someone brought up privacy concerns, and some say that when you submit your sample for testing, the results, with your identity are kept and archived by the LDS church. Not sure if this is truth or fiction. Hoping someone else here would know.

Texas District Court Strikes Down the Entire Affordable Care Act
No shit? If opt out of car ownership/operation, of COURSE that’s OK, because my choices eliminate the possibility of harming others in that way. No need to manage that risk anymore. Health care is different because you can not opt out of getting really sick or injured.

mclennan county justice
Interestingly enough, the most frequent rejections of plea agreement that I personally see are in various JP courts. Tickets, man.

Texas District Court Strikes Down the Entire Affordable Care Act
The difference that you note as being “political” is actually extremely significant LEGALLY as it relates to the standard of review and deference.

Donald Trump 2018
That judge’s decision is hilarious. The Trump DOJ was not advocating equality for the whole law to be struck down. The holding is basically: “This law originally had a bunch of parts.” One of those parts is unconstitutional. Now, that part was recently removed in 2017 by duly enacted legislation which kept most of the other parts. HOWEVER, that part can’t be taken out so...because the ACA had the unconstitutional part many years ago, and I think you can’t take it out, now I’m striking down the new version altogether.” * Bonus point: THIS is what an activist ruling looks like.

mclennan county justice
Technically, you are correct, but this RARELY happens. As in, hasn’t happened in any of my cases ever.

Somewhat related: The newly hired first assistant DA is a piece of work. He says, openly, that “Gideon v Wainwright is probably the worts thing that’s ever happened to the United States. At least I won’t have to deal with him anymore in Bell County.

Misspelled “judgment” but that’s a nice statement.

I see positive reports/remarks on Trump frequently on CNN, and not just from his surrogates.

Time to Talk Dressing
THIS. Only deviation for me is that I use andouille from The Sausage Link, in Sulphur, LA. Also, someone asked about cornbread recipes. Basic cornbread with butter milk, flour, cornmeal, eggs is always great. The key part is the technique. My method for years now is to put about 1/4” of oil in the baking dish/cast iron skillet. Place that in the oven while it pre-heats and you make the batter. Once the oven is up to 400 degrees, take the hot ass oil pan out of the oven and dump the batter in. You get to fry AND bake it at the same time.
