Lee’s Famous Recipe the best. 🍺
Every city or town needs a Catfish Parlor.. I could live in that place.
Have you ever been scalloping. Where I live that is the big event. Well deep sea fishing is a big thing too but every one looks forward to July and scallop season. Hernando, Steinhatchee, Homosassa and Crystal River are the state's prime scallop grounds. Freshwater rivers formed by deep springs, flow into the Gulf and provide the right mix of salt and fresh water for the scallops to thrive.
They Gulf waters at this part of the coast are very shallow and scallops gather in the flats. A simple snorkel and mask will bring up a bag full. Also the water is crystal clear and you can spot them from your boat laying in the grass. The water is usually 3 to 4 feet deep and you can be a long way from shore. You will need a boat to get to them.
My favorite meal! (Scallops) Just LOVE them...
UK now plays UNC instead of UCLA.
Just went out and got our local county paper, this is the headline, "Vaccine on it's way, end of pandemic nears"!!! SMH!
Two of the larger employers in Jefferson County. Great places to make a career.
How about a instrumental to close the day. One of my favorites.
Indeed. I grabbed some Lee's gizzards in Middlesboro on the 28th of last month. Good as always.
Me, too. We get them in Lahaina, every time we go to Maui. They are about half again the size of silver dollars, and an inch thick. They broil them in some kind of sauce that is wonderful. I like them fried, too.
What an amazing photo. I've been to a few of their concerts and I played the hell out of the Tres Hombres album.Here's ZZ Top shortly before they performed at the Jack Tar Hotel (Orange, Texas) for the Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School prom in 1971. Not exactly what one might imagine, eh?
Love Lee's!
Fine by me. At least it's not a cancellation. I'll take it.
I love liver, gizzards, etc. but I have to be careful eating organ meat. Gout. I haven't had a flair-up in at least 8-9 years and I really don't want another one.
That stuff'll kill you..
The Lee's around here are greasy. Last couple of times we've gotten carryout (been a few years), by the time we get it home the bottom of the box is so 'wet' from the grease that the box was falling apart. That was fried chicken.
Speaking of food...family tradition of ours...whenever it snows it's chili night. So, tonight was chili. Paula Deen's recipe for Texas Style Chile. But I'm sure that @AustinTXCat and @BBUK (when he lived there) have had better with the real Texas Chili.
Have gout problems myself but rarely eat organ meat. Never heard that before, but will keep it in mind. Hope all the D is doing good or at least better, haven’t checked in for awhile. Good people here.
I never get anything from lee’s but the gizzards, and only about once a year, with their potato wedges. whenever i want fried chicken i usually get kroger’s which is always good.
I drove all the way to Ocala for Lee's gizzards. 100 miles round trip. For fried chicken I like Publix or Popeyes and Bojangles
Yeah high purine levels in guts. The last bout of gout I had was damn near crippling. I've only had 2 but that's enough. Big toe for me.
Meijer has some of whole rotisserie chickens that I really like.
Man, when I was in Korea the doctor there told me I had the Gout but I never had any symptoms. Stated my uric acid levels were high (Around 7). I think one time I tested at 7.2 but I never treated for it. Stated I may be eating too much sea food. I did eat a bunch at the time but I ate a bunch of everything at the time.
Since I've been back (2015) it has never been brought up again... (Thankful)
My wife makes fried chicken to die for. My kids argue with my wife to make it. I don't eat a lot of fried anything. ("Man's GOT to know his limitations...") I am down under 210 now and am going to keep it that way. All I really did was to count calories for about four months with my fitbit. I quit doing that in probably February 2019 or so. I just use my fitbit now to ensure my sleep quality stays normal. (My Grandson sure likes to play with the buttons. He sets the alarm sometimes and it wakes my up at 2 in the morning. The booger.) Nuff....😉
Love Lee's buffet in Middlesboro. I'll grab it whenever in the area, which usually happens twice yearly and includes gizzards along with other great stuff. COVID changed everything this past year. Drive-thru only. Last two trips were just gizzards and sweet tea.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 30°F and clear. Chilly out. Heater kicked on. My morning hike looks like fun. Today's high may reach 64°F.
I ran into that local homeless guy with no teeth again yesterday morning during my hike. Surprised he was up so early. He sleeps out in the open in a nearby abandoned lot that's full of trash. Hope I avoid his ass today.
Wishing all our fellow D-League members happiness and health today.

Morning Legionnaires!
Was out for a few days due to bad tooth pain. So bad I could not stand it starting Saturday afternoon. Called dentist Monday morning and they could not see me they said until Tuesday afternoon. Had some leftover Percocet from previous problem but only two. Used those until they ran out and then high doses of ibuprofen until being seen Tuesday afternoon. Wisdom tooth was abscessed so, had it extracted. More Percocet for a couple of days so I was not in to doing anything.
Got on here last night only to see that we are now playing UNC on Saturday. Not opposed, keep the fire on these boys until we find out what they are made of.
Morning D-League. We got about 2-3 inches of snow yesterday, followed by hours of freezing rain then another inch of snow. That makes walking around an ass-buster invitational.
I took my morning hike anyway, at times looking like a drunk on roller-skates. But I’m home with pelvis intact.
Time for a long hot shower and a cup of coffee. I hope all are well.

Light snow this morning. Everything's white so it's starting to look a lot like Christmas. Think I've heard that somewhere before.
Not much going on. Trying to finish up the dining room before Christmas. Got a few pieces of shoe mold to put in then a little painting of the trim....but no big deal. Finishing the end(s) of shoe molding is about as bad (but not nearly) as cutting crown molding. Cut it...don't fit right...do again. Kind of like what a lot of folks say about the BB team on RR.....rinse and repeat. But crown molding is much harder for any that have tried it. Measure...cut it upside down....cope it...or not...and it still never fit for me. Very confusing.

Good Morning D League
Currently 55° with a mixture of sun and clouds and our high will top off at 58°. No rain in the forecast and no active alerts on the Gulf. Humidity is down to 84%. UV is 0 so if you want to take your shirt off you shouldn't have any problem with sun damage. Our winds are NNW at 9 MPH.
No snow in the forecast but the lawn is scheduled to be mowed and trimmed. I have a little bit of coffee left in the pot and may make another one because this one tasted mighty fine and keeps me moving.
I trust all have a good day

If it doesn't, something else will.
I just heard on the radio all health care workers, doctors, nurses and support have all been vaccinated in our county. As have everyone in nursing homes. The vaccinations were not mandatory but it sounds like most people wanted them.
My son had one Tuesday. I will probably get one but my wife will not. But she drinks buttermilk every day.
We had a little action in the back yard. A very large bass died in the lake and these boys all gathered around to share a meal. They keep things nice and clean and it is against the law to harm one.

We see quite a few chili cookoffs in our area. I hit up one at Jo's several years back. Interesting and enjoyable.
For local fare that's available daily, my favorites are Texas Chili Parlor (TCP), near my workplace, and Billy's on Burnet. TCP, which reminds you of a dive bar, makes awesome chili ranging from mild to super hot, utilizing different cuts of beef. They even make a veggie chili.
Fish is okay. Shellfish is what gets you. Crab, Shrimp, Lobster.
Sounds like your county is on top of things, Sawnee. My wife is a Covid ward nurse in Bethesda, Maryland and things aren't going as swiftly. Believe it or not, hospitals were designated 1A and 1B. Those called 1A got the vaccine this week. The 1Bs were told, "someday soon" but no definite time.I just heard on the radio all health care workers, doctors, nurses and support have all been vaccinated in our county.

If you guessed that the 1A hospitals given priority were in poor areas that are entirely Democratic in voters, you have been paying attention to how things are done.
Sawnee, what kind of grass do you have, zoysia, bermuda, augustine?
It's the same way here. Herr Andy says that is because the lower income areas were hit hardest by the pandemic. It's really because they didn't wear masks and obey rules, just like every other area of their existence.
Well, I guess I'm gonna have to try Lee's gizzards. Don't have to twist my arm.... I think I saw one on the way to Jackson,TN. We don't have them around here. Do any of you remember Church's Fried Chicken? I do remember a Lee's 60 coming into Lexington.
Sawnee has quite the deprived life. Buzzards come in and clean up his pond on demand. Poor bass probably voted for Biden.
Church's Fried Chicken is still going strong down here with more than 30 locations. There is a location in Clearwater that I first visited in 1970. I still go by and enjoy it. I love fried chicken and they have a good product.
I'd rather see UK play UNC, as it's usually a good game between the two.
