My favorite long-arcing series is "The Wire," followed by "Breaking Bad." You definitely have to see all in order, as with Treme. Treme is more a rambling, music-dedicated, character-oriented series with even less plot than Deadwood seemed to have, that is intended to give you feel for the food, the music and the place that is N.O. Even more love it or hate it than Deadwood. franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611021623864239582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-25508861113139771832013-01-11T20:44:50.623-06:002013-01-11T20:44:50.623-06:00hi, Franklin -- thank you! :-)

Nichols, and had just begun to explore the Marigny when my husband switched jobs.<br /><br />i know what you mean about liver -- i enjoy pate and swoon for foie gras, but a big slice of liver kinda gags me. check out the casserole on my recipe page! the liver is cut in smaller-than-bite-sized pieces, and there's lots of bacon and onion to disguise the texture. yeah -- dip chicken livers in an egg/coconut flour batter, roll in almond flour and fry in coconut oil and voila -- healthy little chunks of heaven!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-60496252852436324102013-01-11T20:18:44.786-06:002013-01-11T20:18:44.786-06:00Oops forgot to mention, I really struggle with liv...Oops forgot to mention, I really struggle with liver other than chicken's liver in pate or fried chicken livers, which I really like. <br /><br />It's a southern thing. I hope the nutrient benefits out-weigh the PUFAs (probably need to pan saute those suckers at home in oil that is more saturated?)... franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611021623864239582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-46466756737432803632013-01-11T20:15:05.508-06:002013-01-11T20:15:05.508-06:00Tess-

I've been reading for quite some time.<br /><br />You may have answered this before but given your love of 'Nawlins do you watch Treme at all? I am a big fan -- probably most appealing to jazz fans? <br /><br />My wife and her family is from NO, and my wife's sister runs a great place there in the Marigny. Very interesting place.franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611021623864239582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-21961820388432402202013-01-11T17:08:41.402-06:002013-01-11T17:08:41.402-06:00when i was last in Scotland, i found this great &q...when i was last in Scotland, i found this great "traditional" cookbook -- and it was £1.50!!! take a pound of liver ... oh hell, i'll just put it on the recipe page! :-)tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-48105912590026119752013-01-11T16:06:45.186-06:002013-01-11T16:06:45.186-06:00Liver in the oven?

I just can't seem to get with it again.
