Re: Louisiana Shrimp
Looks like the low country boil I have had with some friends. Only we had to use frozen shrimp. Yours looks like a real treat.

The Westwego stands were bare, for a holiday weekend. Alot of folks losing money, as a result of the disaster here. Still, good friendship and neighborly compassion prevails. Good friends, good bourbon (see KY, I learn) and heroes praised.

Looks like the same way you boil crawfish. Big ass pot of water, enough boil (Louisiana/Zatarans crawfish, crab and shrimp boil) to make your lips and fingers burn, lemons halved, whole garlic, new red potatoes, corn on the cob, sausage, onions, a cooler full of beer and a group of friends.

I was just the assistant to the head chef. My Homey next door is a maestro of the boiling pot. I sipped bourbon and lended moral support to his efforts.

Much thanks, Sir Q. The locals with their heritage invested in the sea are suffering. With no end in sight, the next two months will pass before the next "solution" is tested. This is a horrific event that will scar the Gulf for decades. The biggest thing weighing on me is the amount of dispersant that has been dumped in the water. Bad stuff, that has been banned in most civilized countries for years. No hope for a long time. I'm enjoying the bounty of the sea while I can.
Cheers!

Waiting to see if the big O nukes the BP well so all the shrimp can glow in the dark.

Re: Louisiana Shrimp
There is a near-univeral mistaken belief that the fuel at the pump comes from the a well with the same corporate logo on it.
Gasoline, like natural gas, is distributed nationwide by means of a common transmission pipeline network.
Once the gasoline enters that network, it becomes a generic product. That product is decanted into tank trucks, then branded additives are incorporated, and the mix delivered to branded retailers. But the generic core product can be considered to come from none, or all, of the collected refiners.
One of the key reasons gasoline costs so much is because legislators, in their 'wisdom;' have chosen to mess with the genric recipe, forcing refiners to produce it in many mandated 'flavors', and distribute it to targeted localities. Leave it to government to mess with a simple system and make it nigh unworkable. You pay the price for this 'wisdom'. After all, you asked for it. ...or someone did...
Boycotting a retailer has no, read 'ZERO', effect on any one refiner; and serves only to penalize an industry that is already reeling from massive legislative meddling, economic collapse, and consumer ignorance.
The distributers who run the tank trucks have already hobbled the retailers with draconian contracts which limit their 'profit' to levels that don't even reimburse the retailer to pay a kid to run the cash register. Hence the little markets that abound, in an effort to recoup some of the losses that retailing gasoline imposes on the small business retailer base.
I hate to have to say this but I suspect that many of the environmentally clean imperatives we harbor are beginning to look like the kind of luxuries a dilettante nation foists upon itself. When the bottom drops out of an economy, it's fish or cut bait, corners get cut, and high minded imperatives tend to fall by the wayside for lack of wherewithal to support them. I think a lot of the emperor's new clothes are coming due for replacement with something a tad more mundane and concrete. When you can't put food(fish?) on the table, legislatively mandated clean air and critters like snail darters become a moot point.
We are all evolving on this planet together. Some do it faster than others, and when conditions change and species don't adapt, they suffer. The works of man are no less natural a set of evolutionary factors than the works of termites or the works of corals. In some ways they may even be less influential. Leave it to governments and extremists to penalize mankind for its evolutionary and technological success. The problem with the huggers isn't that they love the critters too much, it's that the love their fellow man too little. Time to find some new proportion here.
