91 years is pretty good for a wooden house.

Back in Virginia, I used to live in a wooden house that was built in the 1830's (Watt House). Here's a link to a photo of it:

http://www.civilwaralbum.com/misc/peninsular1.htm#bot

It's the third photo on that page (photo, not map).

In Maine I lived in houses that were 1785 and 1820. In Washington state (Bremerton) we had "the old house" 1903!

I agree with you there. Gumbo without okra should really be called cajun soup. Not necessarily bad, but not true gumbo. My wife makes the best gumbo I have ever had. Though gumbo is like chili in that it means different things to different people and lends itself to many styles.

My feeling is that Gumbo must have Fil� powder and Okra all other ingredients can be dictated by circumstance. I once used Kielbasa sausage in Minnesota since cajun was unattainable

I think I'd prefer that. Andouille sausage is a bit too spicy for my taste.I perfer lingisa (Portugeuees sausage) I've been in places where File powder was not available though.

We have had a lot of fun over the years adding all sorts of stuff to our gumbo. Most years we will make a leftover turkey gumbo, sometimes adding sausage , sometimes not. Or we have tried many different types of sausages, most turn out fine. Turkey , shrimp, and mild sausage works great. A lot of different tastes. Have to be careful not to over cook the shrimp though.

It's Boudin. But there are all kinds, and it's common to Cajun,Caribean Island and Quebec cuisesines.Anu where outside of France where the French settled. Boudin Blanc , or "white sausage " I like as it doesn't have blood in it. I'm not a huge fan of blood sausage (quite a strong taste--it reminds me somewhat of liver).

American houses don't tend to last too long in general...

My point about early Florida houses was that there were not that many people in Florida in 1918.

If they dont curb the gator population, there wont be that many people there in 2018 either.

I'll be back there by then , doing my share to bring down the gator population. Gator is very tasty!
It tastes BETTER than chicken!

Planning to retire with the rest of the geezers?

Eventually...in my third and final retirement. But I plan to retire in North Florida. The geezers retire in central or southern Florida. I intend to retire in "The Red-neck Riviera".

Where about ? I have relatives near Biloxi, one in Orange Beach. And also in Foley Alabama.

Within an hour of Jacksonville. No particular place , but probably on the southside , headed towards St. Augustine. Of course I'd also like Pensacola , but My wife's not familar with it , so that would take a little selling. I've been stationed in Jacksonville (JAX) three times, my wife twice , so that's an easy sale.

One place I'd like to pass through in the next couple of years (especially as I'm heading out west soon) is Millington. And of course Memphis. I haven't been there since 1977 and my wife has never been there. So maybe you'll let me buy you a beer if we pass through town.

Man if you pass by this way, I will buy all of the beer and BBQ you can handle

Mmmmmm......Memphis style BBQ......Yummmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!

So you put on a sweater...

And you light off the fireplace that it seems all the Florida houses have!

I could never get over having to crank the AC so that I could have a fire in the fireplace on Christmas day!

Yeah but Florida BBQ isn't bad either. It's wetter , but tasty! If I recall Bono's and Sonny's where the big chains I remeber.

I just got to open an early Christmas present. I picked up the mail and packages at the front desk , and it said on the package what it was. So my wife, bless her kind heart let me open it! A beautiful set of "Isle of Lewis" chessmen. Sometimes they call them the "Sutton hoo" chessmen , after the set in the British museum.

Sonny's is right down the road.

Sonny's is pretty decent food at a good price.

And their baked beans are the best around here.

Local BBQ is usually good BBQ. I don't recall ever having had "bad" BBQ , just different . Some are wet, some dry , some spicier , some with cinnimon, etc. It's like chili. All different, all good.

I'm not a particularly good player , but I can't help but enjoying playing with really cool , stone "early medieval" chess peices.

My wife doesn't even like chess , but said she'd try again ," just because the peices are so cool looking".

Sounds tasty, I will have to try it sometime.

I have had it several times and liked it ok. It is a bit like crayfish, like chicken in the sense it is a bit bland or mild on its own so it readily takes on the flavor of whatever spices it is cooked in. I have had it most often fried, but also grilled ( it gets rubbery fast ) and pan seared, all ok.

Deep fried is always the way to go. Even cabbage taste better deep fried! And don't get me started on okra! But deep fried, it's almost palitable!

Something tells me you also like deep fried Snickers bars.
