  • Poor quality

    Like the podcast, but who ever or how ever they are uploading the show to iTunes is corrupting the file. Can’t fast forward, rewind, if you stop playback and start again it starts the episode over again. The most recent episode stops about 15 minutes into the show and then starts over from the beginning

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exporting Louisiana
Q: What are the regulatory challenges or safeguards in Louisiana for CBD/THC beverages?
Louisiana has specific rules for CBD products, a state health review process for labels, and ATC licensing; producers must register products and comply with on-premise serving rules to avoid gray areas, which helps legitimate on-site consumption.
Exporting Louisiana
Q: What is Louie Louie and how did it come to be?
Louie Louie is a lower-dose THC and CBD infused beverage designed for a balanced, sessionable high, developed by two hospitality pros in New Orleans who saw an opportunity in a regulated market and built a brand around local flavors and culture.
Grow Your Own Groceries
Q: How does salmonella factor into home egg care and what should people do at home?
Chickens can carry salmonella; it's relatively uncommon in any given egg, but a safe approach is to cook eggs fully for high-risk individuals and to handle eggs with clean coop practices. Fresh eggs don't need washing until just before use, preserving their natural protective coating.
Grow Your Own Groceries
Q: So let's talk a little basic egg knowledge. Why are fresh eggs so important?
Fresh eggs hold together better when fried or poached; as an egg ages, whites thin and yolks flatten, affecting texture. Fresh eggs also don't require refrigeration if kept unwashed and clean, due to the natural balloon coating.
Life Lessons and Cantonese Cooking
Q: What were you doing at home after retirement?
I traveled to see my older daughter and missed being in touch with my regular customers.
