And it is great - peas, carrots, hash-browned potatoes, lima beans, in a light, flavourful au jus roux; missing eating this with my Grandma when GulfPort turned chilly...

Once made this for my friends in Mass (Wellesley); they half-heartedly felt guilty as I ended up cooking every night - and I didn't mind one bit...

JP after reading your post I do have one question, did the cat or possum wind up in you stew?

Geezhus...No freakin' way...

As a teenager, we went to a fraternal athletic competition in Central Louisiana (Pineville); nice folks, but couldn't cook, actually tried to serve possom gumbo...

Our krewe was chock-full of Coon*sses, but no way were they eating possom gumbo (it smelled awful); we found a Dairy Queen which had record sales that night...

Yeah...'possom' gumbo. 'Dem Pineville folks can't be trusted...I think Guido used to live there...

In Pineville, Louisiana, you will find one of the most predictable places to be haunted—A mental institution. Central LA State Hospital is a psychiatric hospital built in 1906 and surprisingly is still under operation. It housed THOUSANDS of patients at a time and it has just as many buried among its grounds. Since this hospital was under operation years before the idea of the hearse, most of the first patients’ lifeless bodies were transported from their deathbed to the gravesite via wheelbarrow, until modern practices were adapted.
