5hVnz Song of the Month…

Glen Hansard - My Little Ruin (Session Acoustique)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bSxK7tw1VHI

This months song goes out to the people of Ukraine in the pursuit of saving democracy and their freedom from a blood thirsty maniacal tyrant…

Make no mistake, these heinous crimes against humanity are not the works of the Russian people, they are the blood thirsty deviants from Serbia…

Martial law has been implemented In Ukraine and means that 18-60 year old boys and men are being told they need to stay and fight…

Their World is being destroyed beyond repair all around them, losing their livelihood and yet they continue to fight knowing they have no support from anyone…

Putin has no respect for life anymore, because he’s dying. but believe it when we say it, dying or not he doesn’t have the balls to stand up to the International Community…

The surest way for Evil to prevail is for Good Men to do nothing…

If you were wondering where all the Real Men went, they can be found in Ukraine…and that’s a fact…

Where the Oscars Failed…

The Grammys did not…

The Oscars refused to allow President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to speak but the Grammys stepped up…

What Putin, not Russia, but Putin is doing to Ukraine is a sign of  Impotence on his part, a sign of weakness in the art of negotiation…

We love Russia and didn’t know much about Putin other than his biography…

The sanctions that you are imposing on Russia won’t hurt Putin and his Oligarchs because they’re billionaires, they can afford it…

Sanctions only hurt the people of Russia and need to be lifted immediately…

You sit back because you’re too afraid to step up, thinking that your inaction is not a reaction, well think again…

You’ve supplied Zalenskyy with ammunition and money so you’ve involved yourself and the rest of us…

If you think Putin hasn’t noticed this as an act of aggression then you haven’t been paying attention…

You’re sitting back watching one man and his army of Soldiers like it’s Gerard Butler playing Leonidas in 300…

In fact there’s probably some sick f*cking Director/Producer hoping Zelenskyy dies on the battlefield so their movie about him will bring in lots of profits…

If you think Putin is going to stop at the Ukrainian border, you’re wrong, he’s demented, and wants it all…

He wants all that land, he sees weakness in the U.N. and NATO and has Gone Hitler…

You think he’s afraid of France? Lol, not in the least bit, and when push comes to shove he’ll get backers…

The World is Hangry, and War is here, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when…

You can take a knee and beg or you can stand and fight..,

The Nawlins Po Boy…

A few years back we had a Po Boy from a local restaurant that come to find out was not a conventional Po Boy…

Years ago we had a Po Boy that was good and was our first Po Boy ever, and this was what they call a Traditional sandwich…

It was our first and was our last up until this modernized version we were blessed to have had…

This restaurant was all about New Orleans, or as they liked to call themselves, Nawlins (not the name of the restaurant)…

They had an incredible menu and everything they made was to perfection, ohhhh to per-fec-tion…

Unfortunately, we saw a flaw in their business design and knew they were going to go out of business…

Sure enough we had an insatiable appetite for their Shrimp Po Boy and went there only to find out they were out of business…

Not a surprise to us, obviously, a disappointment for sure and has left us salivating for a Po Boy ever since…

Time had passed, memories have faded and days have blended into another as they do, until one day…

A friend of ours told us about a hole in the wall Grocery/Deli that made Po Boys and we were alive once again..,

For two days all we thought about was this sandwich and even had to leave work early in order to make it there on time, but tragedy had struck again…

They had to close down the Deli, not because they couldn’t sell em, it was because they couldn’t find good help…

They had one girl that did more work than 4 guys could and when she had to leave the states is when he closed up shop and got rid of the 4 guys…

He’s not out of business, he’s just running the grocery store now, with 3 people he can trust and couldn’t be happier..

We’re happy for him, and he’s selling all the ingredients that he used in his Po Boy with recipes, that’s cool…

However, that doesn’t do us any good at the moment because he’s in restructuring mode and doesn’t have all the ingredients yet…

So a little bird told us about another restaurant in town that did Po Boys and the clouds lifted and the sun appeared once again…

This is when we realized why the first Po Boy didn’t really stand out to us as the best sandwich we’ve ever had…

It was good don’t get us wrong, just nothing really spectacular, fried crab, lettuce and tomato and mayonnaise yay…

What made the Nawlins place stand out to us is that they sautéed everything and the flavor was seared into it, you didn’t need to add a thing to it, it was perfect…

Look, we appreciate tradition to the craft, however, sometimes you need to expand your horizons a bit…

It’s simple really, you can only eat so much of the same before getting tired of it…

Sure, it’s nice to have familiarity and to go back to relive that experience you once shared with that meal, but sometimes the memory is better than the meal…

Example, we went back to a place we used to go to as a kid to have the rellenos that we loved then…

The ownership was the same and the siblings were now running the show and the menu was the same, but it just wasn’t as good as we remembered…

The same could be said about the Po Boy, but of course our first experience wasn’t memorable enough to want us wanting more, but the new version of this sandwich could be…

That is, if it doesn’t take us a lifetime to find it again…

Don’t be afraid of change, we’ve told you how to evolve and how to remain pertinent so embrace it, but never forget…

Until next time…
