Leah Chase, the nation's pre-eminent Creole chef, always knew what to feed her famous customers.
 
The Rev. Martin Luther King Sr. liked barbecued ribs, and James Baldwin preferred gumbo. The singer Sarah Vaughan ordered stuffed crab to go, and Nat King Cole always wanted a four-minute egg.
 
She once had to stop Barack Obama, when he was running for president in early 2008, from putting hot sauce in her gumbo — a real culinary sin — and, despite pressure from a city still angry over the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina, she fed President George W. Bush crab soup and shrimp Clemenceau on the second anniversary of the storm that nearly closed her restaurant, Dooky Chase's, for good.
 
"In my dining room, we changed the course of America over a bowl of gumbo and some fried chicken," she would often say.
 
Mrs. Chase died on Saturday at her son's home near her restaurant in New Orleans, her daughter Stella Reese Chase said. She was 96.
 
Mrs. Chase was much more than a gifted chef, although she would argue that there is no greater calling than feeding people. She spread her message through cookbooks, countless media interviews and television shows. Princess Tiana, the waitress who wanted to own a restaurant in the animated Disney feature "The Princess and the Frog," was based on Mrs. Chase. It was the first African-American princess in a Disney movie.
 
Mrs. Chase possessed a mix of intellectual curiosity, deep religious conviction and a will always to lift others up, which would make her a central cultural figure in both the politics of New Orleans and the national struggle for civil rights. "She is of a generation of African-American women who set their faces against the wind without looking back," said Jessica B. Harris, who is an author and expert on food of the African diaspora and who said Mrs. Chase treated her like another daughter. "It's a work ethic, yes, but it's also seeing how you want things to be and then being relentless about getting there."...

Life is too short for cheap booze.
 
Yesterday I went to the liquor store to replenish supplies. I usually
have on hand something from each of the food groups, bourbon, scotch,
rye, rum, vodka, gin.
 
I was low on bourbon and out of rye so I picked up a Makers Mark 46 as
I've liked it in the past. Then I was not sure what else to get and
considered another Crown Royal. They also have two premium versions of
it so, for a few bucks more I got the XO.
 
My son came over for a drink yesterday so I opened the bottle for us to
try. Wow, this is smooooooooth drinking. Well worth the few extra
bucks. If you want to give yourself a treat, give it a try.
 
I've also experimented with ice. A bit of a gimmick, but it does make a
little difference. You can buy molds to make ice balls. I have one
that makes four but bought another that makes two balls, each 2.3", and
clear ice. The idea is that the clear ball will melt slower and let the
flavor open up but not dilute. If nothing else, is looks good in a nice
glass.
 
My son never drank good liquor itself, mostly vodka in juice kind of
things so it has been fun experimenting with him. We've tried a handful
of different gins with tonic, now a couple of bourbon and rye.

I can handle anything but the scotch.

Found this about honey bees and how their function changes by age.
Shorter life than I imagined too.

That was interesting and I didn't know their lifespan was so short either.
Sometimes I'll see a dead bee on the porch on the sidewalk and it looks
perfectly normal. Normal as it hasn't been attacked and injured for it
to be dead. I guess its' life cycle was at its' end.

And first thing when I walked up, she told me she'd been on Vacation and pushed a bank slip turned over and a pen towards me and asked me for my EMAIL ADDRESS! And then we stuck strictly to bank business while she handled my deposits and this evening I expect an EMAIL from her!!!

Beats me where the items are baked. My guess is that the French guy hand
carries the baked goods through the orchid farm and that's what gives them
that je ne sais quoi. :)

What wrong w/ "California" ('cept most everything)?
 
Still not as bad as living in KS or MO. I know ppl who've moved from CA
to KS and still wanna return.
 
I'm in rural CO, these dayz, and NEVER wanna return to CA. OTOH, I'd
not disparage CA if I'd never lived there. Things and places do change. ;)

Agree the Federal minimum is too low. It has not kept up with inflation
over the past 50 years. It is a political football and many states have
taken the initiative to do better. It should be closer to $11. It is
morally reprehensible to pay less than that, IMO, but that's just me.

I've used lead solder for a couple of decades. Stuck my nose in the vapors
too and I'm fit as a fiddle.

Pasta salad is pretty much a staple on this rock. The Hawaiian plate lunch
will include two scoops of rice and one scoop of mac salad. Like most
Hawaiian food, simplicity is the key. My secret ingredient: MSG - but don't
tell nobody.

I don't care if it is a pod or not. Both work. We cut the pods in half
an use 1/2 per load. Excessive detergent use is an appliance repair
persons job security. Our dishwasher also has a built in water softener.
I love to run it, which happens at least every other day. No dishpan
hands here.

The pods we use are filled with liquid. Are yours more like a big pill?

Yes big pill with a red ball on top. Finish Max in one. Tricky getting
1/2 of the red ball when cutting in half. 1/2 puck gets the dishes spotless.

Sorry folks. I missed reading a few messages to me. I was trying to
clean up a batch and in distraction deleted them.
 
I was meaning to clean up a pet group to pass on we lost my little
girl, Iowna, a 16yo blind beagle today, just shy of her 17th birthday.
 
She went blind from Glaucoma age 9, we adopted her, age just a week or
so shy of 11. She was a joy with the biggest happy grin you have ever
seen.

I am so sorry to hear that. I know how it feels:((((

That's everyone's forging friend and flaming drag queen, Gregory
Morrow or Chicago doing these recent stalker-forgeries of everyone.
The IP addresses are the same as his "regular asshole" account.
This is what he does for "fun" on his lunch hour.
 
Yeah, he's a few kernels short of full cob and not very bright. He
