Sorry, too much in every way for me to cope with.  Would you real foodies like to have a go?

 

Lois, it seems the USA team have all gone down with a virus; maybe it is an excuse, but maybe it is true, which would not help them at all.  Just hope they don't pass it on to  our chaps!

Hi Lola, huh? I think we are playing much better today. We are winning 2 matches this session so far. At least we are being competitive today. 

I haven't heard the announcers mention anything about a virus. They were quite honest and admitted we played very poorly yesterday and you played excellent.

No excuses here.

Hi again, just heard them mention something but who knows the truth?

Hi, the system only gives you about 15 minutes to edit a post so of it beyond that time frame? It will just stay as is or you could email a moderator to have them delete it.

Hi Lola, you can certainly be pleased.....they are your team after all! Your guys played excellent and ours? We STUNK it up today!

A much better day for America today.  But they have left a lot to do tomorrow, advantage definitely Europe 

 

For anyone interested in what the teams were wearing:

USA: dark blue trousers, white polo with dark blue and red hoops, finished with a red and white stripe on the rim of the collar

Europe: dark blue trousers with a red fleck on the pocket, white polo with burgundy stripe on the shoulder .

Lirio, enjoying your posts from New Orleans.  Enjoyed visiting many years ago, when the most sought after restaurant was called Brennan's.  Will never forget all their special dishes.  Wonder if still open...

Hi Cam, it is definitely still open........here is a link:

Oh Lois, thanks for the memories!!  Looking at the menu...the oysters!! And, of course, the Banana Foster!!  They were famous for this dessert back in the 70's...

And Pat O'Brien's is known for their drinks. Especially the Hurricane.  They are still around as well.

Po-boy day. I couldnt get even 1/3 of it, but glad I tried!!!

 

I will try Brennan's!

 

History of Po-boy, from wikipedia

 

"A po' boy (also po-boy, po boy derived from the non-rhotic southern accents often heard in the region, or poor boy) is a sandwich originally from Louisiana. It almost always consists of meat, which is usually roast beef, chicken fingers or some sort of fried seafood such as shrimp, crawfish, fish, oysters or crab. The meat is served on New Orleans French bread, known for its crispy crust and fluffy center." Po-boy comes from poor-boy......

I would love to go to New Orleans and hear some traditiional jazz.   My first encounter with music, other than classical stuff at school was a  boyfriend who introduced me to Jelly Roll Morton in my teens.  I just couldn't stop tapping my feet, and it is the same today - on Saga cruises the band does a special concert of trad jazz, and all the 70+ age group  passengers are tapping and clapping away.  Just makes you happy and forgetting all your cares - which I guess it was originally meant to do.

Yes, love the trad jazz.  Sadly, I am the baby in most all of the trad jazz bands in my area. Love the music, hate seeing the older jazz musicians passing away.

We also love our jazz which is why we always stayed at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit in Bangkok. Jazz trio 6 nights a week at happy hour and shows with visiting musicians and/or singers. We especially loved Randy Cannon. Many of you may have seen him as the pianist on the first season of The Love Boat.

 

We became friends of Randy. Unfortunately he passed during the pandemic. But of his medical issues not the virus.

I went to New Orleans about 10 years ago and seem to remember that even though gambling was illegal there were a couple of swanky casinos. Obviously I asked the burning question to be told that although gambling was illegal gaming wasn't. Is that true or was that just an amusing story?
