The "Rare Ones" of New Orleans
They all ask'd for you!
As many of y’all know, I am a river pilot on the Mississippi River. Recently, I saw Big John crossing the Mississippi River near Algiers Point. Big John says he doesn’t get out the house much but when he’s hungry all bets are off! Rumor has it, he was making his way to Jack Dempsey’s Restaurant. Moving at 2.7 kts, that’s the fastest I seen Big John move! In any case, this is a real screen shot of the AIS Targets on the Mississippi River.
Here’s Frank’s latest old hot rod project. He’s been diligently working on it, hence, we call him the Nutria Rat!
Have you ever wanted to try Andouille Sausage or Boudin? Well, our good friend, Steve – KG5VAT recommends the following: Jacob’s World Famous Andouille & Sausage and Bailey’s Andouille! I don’t know if they will ship to your QTH but I recommend you contacting them directly. I’m sure, as friendly Cajun’s they will accommodate you. Of course, a quick trip to the Big Easy for a personal visit is always the best! Please click on the following links to visit Jacob’s and Bailey’s respective web sites…
Here in Louisiana, Alligator is quite the delicacy found in many restaurants! Well, what if you can’t make a trip to Louisiana? Kris took the initiative and purchased a fresh alligator and shipped to his QTH for some gator bites! Here’s some pictures of Kris’s efforts. If you have any questions, I’m sure Kris would love to hear from you. His contact information on QRZ is good! By the way, Great Job Kris from all the RO’s in New Orleans….
Want to try a great Louisiana Recipe? John, W5PDW, made a really good Shrimp Creole dish from the Best of the Best Louisiana Cookbook! What are you waiting for? Join John in enjoying some of the best Louisiana Cooking and share your thoughts on the Rare One’s of New Orleans Net!
We always welcome our new, and quite frankly, existing Associate Members to send us station pictures of their shack. Kris sent us a picture of his station and what a beauty it is! Love the Framed Certificate. Kris lives in Marshall Texas and is close enough to Louisiana to be considered an adopted Cajun!
I’m always surprised by the pictures received from our Associate Member’s Stations. In terms of complexity, ingenuity, vintage and new equipment and just plain coolness, the Associate Members of the RO’s of New Orleans and their amateur radio stations are the best. Below are the latests received from KO4MKD and KA7SSR….
Keeping the RO’s of New Orleans on track takes many individuals such as the efforts of Dale, KB5PMP, the Power House of Picayune! We appreciate all Dale’s efforts in the pre-net for the Rare One’s of New Orleans.
Just when we thought things were going a little slow, we have two new Associate Members. Congratulations to KE4TS – Jim and WB7WVG – Terry.
Recently, my wife and I had dinner at Mr. B’s in New Orleans. Of course, if you ever ate at Mr. B’s you know everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! That said, I tried one of their signature drinks, Mr. B’s Orange Julius, and I was astonish how good it was! If you like oranges and milk shakes, you will fall in love with this cocktail. Enclosed is the recipe of Mr. B’s Orange Julius directly from Mr. B’s website in case you want to give it a try if you cannot visit New Orleans soon…
