After Work Today...


Do you even have to ask? Though we each have our own pregame rituals, a Monday night home game should be classified as a special occasion. Here are a few options which run the gamut:

  1. Beers and music on the catwalk between the New Orleans Centre and the Dome.
  2. Cocktails and burgers outside Allegro Bistro in the bottom of the Energy Centre.
  3. Nachos and longnecks at Lucy's.
  4. Raw oysters and Ojen at Lüke.
  5. Shrimp & grits and Sazeracs at Herbsaint.

Eat and drink wherever you please, as long as you are wearing black and gold.

Many of you may be wondering, "hey why was the blog so busy this weekend?" Well here is why.

Deputy Dingle (1/2 of the Commodore Couple) lost a bet to me for a grand. She then claimed it was not a bet. Ok, fine. Well, since you are going to Nashville for something called College Game Day, put the blog on a sign and your debt will be forgiven.

Well, the sign got on tv for a while. So thanks Dingle.

Couple of observations here. First, its amazing how conditioned Americans are. Look web address on tv, must visit. Second, I love the anger that a blog called blackened out had nothing to do with football. Third, whichever dork English grad student and college football fan corrected my grammar, we would like to offer you a job as editor.

Check out the website www.rawoysteralert.com. I was shocked to learn that several individuals die each year from the consumption of raw oysters that are contaminated with naturally occurring Vibrio bacteria. Some gulf states have chosen to not take action in order to make raw oysters safe for ALL consumers.

Several years ago, the state of California made a requirement that all imported raw oysters must be pasteurized and since that requirement was put into place there have been NO FURTHER DEATHS in that state.

In order to affect change, consumers need to only accept oysters that are SAFE through post harvest processing or through being cooked. Consumer demand drives the market and the industry would be forced to provide oysters that did not lead to unnecessary deaths.

The website www.rawoysteralert.com has a wealth of information available and also explains how you can help in making the consumption of oysters safe for everyone.
