My @Home Attempt at Raggabone's Jerk Pork / Therapy / Trip Report Preview

[NOLAnmr]

Tizz - thanks for wishing me well with the decompression... One of these days I 'll get started on the actual trip report. Gaining a little traction with photos and I better hurry before I forget. The ole short term memory problem may act up at any moment...

Marl - I emailed you our tracks, so you should have them now. I will not be there New Years Eve as we have some stuff going on here in New Orleans. But that should be a massive blowout. If nothing else, those Stoopid guys sure as hell know how to throw a party.

Gerry - geez, I feel like I should be blushing. Thanx... It's funny when you put it like that because its like an oxymoron...

Maryann - You are right about getting the taste down. For me, I had to really experiment to ge them as sweet. But I think you're really onto something about the little bananas b/c they are sweeter.

On a completely different side note, talking about my broken rum cream being licked up by my late Akita:


(That is me and Nina with her only doggie friend, Willis the Wamerainer. Man, she hated all other animals, loved people tho. We were on Bourbon st for The Krewe of Barkus during Mardi Gras)

We had to put Nina to sleep about 4 months ago and it was probably one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life. She had a good long life of 13 years which was great because Akitas are expected to only live up to 8-10 years. We fell in love with the breed though. I am excited because literally, as soon as I finish this post, I'm leaving my office and driving 8 hours to Little Rock to pick up our new as of yet unnamed Akita puppy from the breeder. Isn't she cute?
