Have you been to this place?

No, but I've probably passed it 50 million times. Airline Highway is an alternate route that connects Baton Rouge to New Orleans so when there's a wreck on the bridge then we take Airline.
I googled for "jambalaya plate lunches" - not knowing what it was - and pretty much got that hit near the top.
Still don't know what it is :)
Y'all don't have plate lunches outside Louisiana?
Never heard of it here in the northeast.
Places, either restaurants or some grocery stores, sell lunch. What they have is a certain meal that they sell every single day.
There is a tradition like:
Sunday: Ham
Monday: Red beans
Tuesday: Can't remember
Wednesday: Can't remember
Thursday: Can't remember
Friday: Can't remember
Saturday: Gumbo
Sunday is the holy day and so naturally you need to cook something a little more upscale, which was ham. Monday use to be laundry day and since it took forever to wash clothes, the cooks had to cook something that required almost not constant watching. You basically stir red beans once an hour. Plus you get to throw the left over ham into the red beans, les ben rouge. Saturday was the last day of the week and so all the left overs from the week was thrown into the Gumbo.
It has moved away from the traditional schedule and each place has their own item they serve, but every day of the week is the same thing.
Here is a website's menu of my favorite lunch plate place: http://www.hackettscajunkitchen.com/...&id=3&Itemid=3
Diner's in our area - back 50 years ago - would typically have a blue-plate special. They would cycle through the same meals each day of the week (and actually have blue plates for serving that meal on that day).
I can still go to a local greasy spoon here in CT and randomly get a blue plate - the current owners probably have no idea why there is a stock of blue plates in the restaurant.
Side note, did you know that Zydeco actually means a mixture of beans in Cajun French?
That's 100% more Cajun French then I knew before!
The Safeway grocery store near work usually has three soups/stews to go every day. jambalaya happens two or three times a week. For a couple bucks more you can get corn bread as well. (Too sweet and fluffy for me. I like mine heavy and grainy with less sugar.)
The soups not authentic I'm sure but it goes down nice.
Uh... maybe fish?Quote:

Monday before last I had a mild heart attack. My kidneys went for a walk and didn't come back until dinner. Everything seems to be back to normal (For me.) except I burst an artery in my right eye. It hasn't cleared up yet so I have this crappy swirl of brown occluding my vision. It's driving me bonkers forcing my focus through the left. Writing and editing code is a pain in the rear right now.

So relatively speaking, yes I am OK.
Part of the problem was two of my doctors not keeping each other informed as to my meds.
The weather is finally clearing up and we are getting sunnier days. I'd like to take walks, but I am so out of shape doing a two block jaunt tuckers me out.
Maybe I can find one of those canes that folds out into a seat so I can rest every so often. :)
