The Tulsa World (I don't read it anymore) had an article Sunday about the best economic areas of the country for the first quarter of this year. OK City was #2 and Tulsa was #9. We are in a bubble around Oklahoma. There is commercial construction all over my area. I think by fall its going to be really bad around the USA. 10% unemployment will actually be 20% or higher.

How about that "Change"???????

Definitely scary my friend. However after Oklahoma crapped out in the 80's we've come back with a bit more sustainable industry. I think we are in better shape to weather this crisis than most other states. Now if we could just get that damn spending under control....

Daddymax? Just noticed my oversight in not sharing the brulo recipe as promised. I got this from a book entitled Manna Foods of the Frontier.

LE BRULO:

This Cajun drink was taken after the entire meal was finished and the table was cleared. It was a common practice to extinguish all lamps and set alight Le Brulo! Of course, every Monsieur in Louisiana had a favorite recipe.

Cut a large, thick-skinned orange in half crosswise. Remove all the pulp and put 2 lumps of sugar in each orange half. Fill each with brandy and set alight. After a few minutes, pour the brandy into a glass (or drink from the orange half).

Just thought I would drop in to let all my fellow Okies know that the Knotty Pine restaurant has given up the ghost .

Went by there the other day and the whole building had been razed . Hadn't been over that way in a couple years so , it surprised me to see the only thing left standing was the walk-in cooler .

Made me just a bit sad , thinking back on all the catfish , BBQ , and cold beer I used to enjoy there when I lived in T-town .

Jamill's has also been re-located due to the highway construction .

Pokes just lost to Nebraska but , the REAL Oklahoma team will make us proud here shortly .

Welcome kidcudi. Was moving this week so haven't been online in a while. Sorry to be so late with the welcome wagon but Okie hospitality isn't completely dead. Pull up a chair and help yourself to a cold one. Personally, with the cold weather, I prefer a hot buttered rum but each to their own.

Sorry to hear about the restaurant closing. Lots of places closing and several blew away in the tornados. I had a new voting place this year because the church they used to be done in is a twisted pile of metal now. Oklahoma was sort of recession proof for a while so lots of people moved here for the economy and now we're out of jobs and suffering too.

Would enjoy another Okie meet-up. It's been too long since we got together. Fall festivals abound this time of year so maybe we could meet up at one of them. What say ye?

Hope all my fellow Okies are stirred, not shaken but the recent swarm of earthquakes.
