Yum, sounds delicious Michael!
Re: “UPDATE: Beware the rogue golf carts”
Years ago when my grandparents retired they moved to a senior citizens community where cars were left in parking lots and people either walked or drove golf carts between their homes and the recreational facilities, beauty and barber shops, gift shop, restaurants and grocery store. It was great! The cars were available within a short walk if the residents needed to go into town or elsewhere, but for around the community (which was fairly extensive) the carts served the purpose.
As a progressive I sort of like the idea of using more fuel efficient golf carts to get around neighborhoods than firing up the SUV to drive to Krogers. I do like the idea of a golf cart lane (similar to a bike lane) to help the flow of traffic, and of course they should all be equipped with headlights, tail lights and be licensed.

Re: “And now, birth control, in vitro restrictions, from David Meeks”
Thirty years ago this summer I opted to have a tubal ligation at the same time my second child would be delivered by c-section. It was to be my second delivery by c-section in two years, and I didn't want to endanger my health by having a third baby. My husband and I were living in central Tennessee at the time.
We both agreed that I would have a tubal ligation rather than him having a vasectomy.
Both of us had to sign three sets of papers stating that he gave his permission for me to have a tubal ligation. By the time we signed the third set I was sort of amazed that they hadn't dragged my father into the process as well.
The first time was when I first voiced my decision to my obstetrician, the second time was a month before our son was born, the third time was the day before the birth when I was admitted to the hospital.
I thought this was outrageous then and still do. Any woman, should be able to decide on her own if she wants a tubal ligation. She needs no one persons permission!
And now Arkansas lawmakers want to take us even further back in time with a woman's right to make decisions about her own body based on someone else's religious view? This is insanity!
Re: “Food Feedback Friday: The week that food was king”
Oh SusieQ I hope not, I love Sim's mustardy sauce...and their ribs.
The only place I've been out to eat at in the past two weeks was Franke's Downtown and had their fantastic red beans with rice and seasoned cabbage, and a cornbread muffin. A meal fit for any southerner! It was absolutely delicious.
Re: “Food Feedback Friday: Curry, cabeza, and cupcakes”
Thursday night had dinner with my sisters and mother at T.G.I. Friday's (mom's current favorite place to eat out besides Olive Garden). I had the sizzling garlic shrimp which was excellent. One sister had the onion soup and a side salad and she said the soup was very good. The other sister seemed to enjoy her wedge salad. Mom had some creole pasta dish that was tasty but I don't think I'll go out of my way to order it....though I will order that sizzling garlic shrimp again. Most definitely.
