Good evening Cafe.
I've made a pot of tea for those whose teeth are clenched from too much coffee.
Lovely day here. Warm 22C, dry and a light westerly breeze.

I had to cut the door jambs and the bottom of the new door down to fit the RO for the lower level bedroom at my dad's house. Running a door short end through the table saw, by yourself, in the rain was not fun.
Needless to say the cut is less than perfect. It's the bottom of the door. Let's see if anyone even notices it.
Then I had to remove the door to deepen the recess to make the hinges flush so it would close without hitting and leave enough room for paint. I accidentally poked my finger with a fresh utility knife blade and got blood on the door. Oops.
I finished the trim on that wall and painted the long wall before calling it quits.
I made a beef stew in the Crock-Pot this morning. I used black garlic in it and I can't wait to see how it turned out!

Busy you are always I tend to not sit long back and forth but think you would wear me out also ... The crock pot looks great for dinner

Very big. It is one of the oldest and largest in the US.
The video at the top of this link gives an idea of what it is like.

There is a Vietnamese guy there who runs a seafood stand with everything from crab legs to sea bass to catfish. He also has a variety of obscure species of mushrooms. He always gives me great deals. I acquired some chanterelle mushrooms that I can't find at any local grocery stores. Frequently he has morels and when I buy some fish he gifts some to me. In N'awlins they call that a lagniappe.
A bag of morels is a pretty good tip.
The Soulard neighborhood is also home to the second largest Mardi Gras festival in the US. https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/the-5-best-cities-to-visit-for-mardi-gras-this-year
We sometimes host a Mardi Gras party at our house including a big crawfish boil. That's on hold for a couple years. When it returns, I'm going to grill a whole alligator. The meat market at Soulard Market carries ground alligator, tails and whole gators. Plus elk, bison, organ meats and a wide variety of cold cuts like blood sausage and head cheese.

This is beer country. At the start of the civil war, there were about 40 breweries in the Soulard neighborhood and its surrounds. Among them were the flagship Anheuser Bush and Lemp breweries and were among the few that survived Prohibition. Lemp became Falstaff. The Lemp mansion is a great attraction for its gourmet restaurant but especially because it is haunted and it's ghost tours. Several family members committed suicide there.

We watched a segment about beer in St Lois on a show called Off Limits. There is an amazing section under ground there
