Let's get this discussion going again.

... hehe! The thought did occur to me, but I couldn't find the corresponding 'smiley' on the smilie's list to adequately express my feelings ... ... <hint><hint> ...

EXCEPT FOR DANCING TOPLESS LADIES!!!

From the heart, with some good football and a darn good recipe ... this blog has it all.

3 slices bacon
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup celery
1/2 cup green onion , chopped
1 1/2 cups shrimp stock
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn , drained
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can creamed corn
1 large potato , diced and cooked
1 lb crawfish tail , cooked and peeled
1/2-1 lb shrimp , cooked and shelled (optional)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon butter
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
fresh parsley
Directions:
1Cook the bacon in a frying pan; drain on paper towels and crumble when cooled slightly. 2Put the bacon grease in a dutch oven. 3Add in the butter, onions, celery and green onion; saute until soft. 4Add the shrimp stock, corn and potatoes. 5Bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender. 6Add in the crawfish (and shrimp is using). 7Simmer until heated through. 8Add in the whipping cream and seasonings. 9Simmer about 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. 10Just before you get ready to serve, add in the butter, cayenne and parsley. 11Ladle into bowls and sprinkle each serving with the crumbled bacon.

Copy and paste to a word document and it will be good, yeah!

I think Jeff Blake brought us through the season. Aaron Brooks was cleanup. When Blake returned to service the next season, he wasn't even given a chance to return as the starter.

Jim Haslett was a fool.... I digress.

I too want that recipe for Crawfish Chowder! Sounds delish!!!



Back on topic... things are so much better with this organization since Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis run things. Offseason is actually an exciting adventure as opposed to "WTF ARE THEY DOING!!"

I've never tried Crawfish Chowder. Do you have a recipe?

ABSOLUTELY! Thank you!
We remember the days of IF we're going to play Jeff Blake in the 2nd half or IF Aaron Brooks will remember WE are the white jerseys this Sunday.

Good Blog JimmyB!

You are not alone in your feelings. While I feel like you do; I make myself remember how good of a team we have now. Pre 2006; I don't have to wonder "If" we are going to have a good team this year. Let me get something off my chest... I HATE LOSING (Period). With that said; this Saints team no longer makes me wonder "If" we are going to have a good year. I know we are. The only "IF" now; is, do I cook Crawfish Chowder or Red Beans "IF" we go to the Super Bowl this year. For me, that's a good "IF" to ponder every year.

Think we're a player or 2 from seeing real results on defense. We need a stud d-lineman and at least 1 new linebacker. May also need to add a veteran corner.

I don't think we have bad players. Think some are overpaid, others need to be added.

Yeah, hopefully he'll get more out of our defensive "stars" and bring in one guy who will give the defense a boost in attitude as well as some energy. I don't even know how much we lost this year with the lack of takeaways. But those are more than just an additional possession. They give momentum which is worth much more than the extra drive. We went 14-4 WITHOUT that!

It stung for me too, but that soon will pass. It all ended for me when we hired Spagnoulo as defensive coordinator. That gave me tons of hope an excitement for the upcoming season.

Long as we keep brees we are ok cause we have the number one tight end and three dominating running backs but we shore need colston for shore we need some one on the other side of the field to jump instead of going to Jimmy everytime and Robert Meacham this guy is fast man I say cut people who's not playing to much and keep Robert and Markus I know we need secondary and its all about the salary cap we need impact players for next season because super bowl is in our house next year and we gotta be one of the teams plyin in it and the team winning it

Funny

LOL. Hell I'm down 'wit some yard bird!

That's why I'm so excited they're moving in another direction on defense. Look, Gregg Williams brought us to the promised land where our defense STUNK before. But it was a flash in the pan.... 1 and done. Once the rest of the NFL figures out what you're doing, they adjust.

Glad we have something to look forward to!

Though the close win hurts, it will be good for us in the long run.

IMO, losing a heartbreaker like this builds more character than a blowout loss. It's damn tough to take, thinking what might have been. It takes big balls and big guts to move forward, but we can take solace in knowing that the Saints left it all out on the field and we'll be motivated next year. After the shock is gone, it's empowering.

wow and now Cam Johnson DE, Virgina might be there in the third, lmao i love the guessing game now

We need to re sign Nicks to. He's a free agent now.

Yeah, the Green Wave will be good WAY in the future... new stadium... in the future. That's the blog post your write in like 2014 or something.
