J.D., you're way off base. Herb Alpert was Romanian and Russian. Next time you put on his tunes be proper and eat his native homeland food. Here is a list of their delicacies:


Ciorbă is the traditional Romanian sour soup Ciorbă de burtă (a soup made from tripe, or the stomach of assorted farm animals)
Ciorbă de peşte "ca-n Deltă" (fish soup prepared in the style of the Danube Delta)
Ciorbă ţărănească ...

Crosseyed Cricket is closed as Metalpha said. That was a nice place too, not really a paylake.

One was for my gal, it's one of those pink spinning combos, for an early Valentine ...

Thanks for the weather link, Don. I didn't see as many dead shad today, but I didn't go the same places. The reason I didn't see any at one spot is because the lake is completely frozen. I don't remember ever seeing the entire width of the Emory River frozen. I found a little gap in the ice in one little feeder creek about 35' wide and caught one crappie. I shot-putted a rock as big as a basketball onto the ice and it didn't even budge it?? :confused: It was worth the trip, however, I found ...
