Re: Radio Margaritaville on Motorola Droid

I listen to Radio Margaritaville on my iPhone through Sirius, when I'm not fighting my hubby for station rights.

Good to know it works on the Droid without Sirius, though. Very cool.

Re: Pensacola Beach

We were there in mid-August, and though we spent the majority of our time at the hotel, we also went to Gulf Shores to go to LuLu's (as some have already suggested doing), and we walked the long boardwalk (the one you can see from the beach at the Margaritaville Hotel). It's $1 for an all day pass, ...

Re: "Crystal" as referred to in the Margaritaville cookbook?

I don't mind use of the name brand in the recipe, but I wish it was a complete listing, as I said before. Rather than just saying "Crystal", why not say "Crystal Hot Sauce"? Clears it all up quite nicely.

Re: "Crystal" as referred to in the Margaritaville cookbook?

Haha, well I suppose I'm just not hip enough to get all of the "chef" references out there in cookbook land. Oh well. Thankfully you all were able to help me. Now I can make crab cakes. Just hope they turn out as well as the crab cake sandwich I had at the Margaritaville Hotel in Pensacola...

Re: BUFFETT SONG PHRASES IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Is this why some refer to us as a "cult" haha. I disagree with that. I think it's just that, unless you are a parrothead, and understand the parrothead/beach culture, you just can't get some of our and/or Jimmy's references.

Re: What are YOU reading?

I've heard that about the Divine books. I ordered both in the series, and I look forward to them, dark or not. Thanks for the heads up, though :wink:

Re: "Crystal" as referred to in the Margaritaville cookbook?

Ok now I feel silly. That makes so much sense. I simply hadn't heard of that brand before. Adding the words "hot sauce" to Crystal sure would have been helpful, Jimmy ;)

"Crystal" as referred to in the Margaritaville cookbook?

What is Crystal? It's referred to in several recipes in the Margaritaville cookbook, and I have no idea what this is. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :D

Re: BUFFETT SONG PHRASES IN EVERYDAY LIFE

I don't know if this counts, but in our house the new Angelina Jolie movie was called Salt Salt Salt. BBQMonster If it reminds you of JB it counts!! Agreed! If it takes your head to a JB place, it definitely counts. And the salt line is funny. Any time my hubby or I see salt, or someone says it, on...

Re: What are YOU reading?

Currently reading The Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood. I love anything relating to Louisiana, and I really enjoyed the movie, so I thought why not read the book. The book version is usually better than the movie version, so here I go.

Re: HEALTHY LIVING

So happy some of the parrotheads out there also happen to be into fitness. I am too, but it's a struggle, I'll be honest. I workout regularly, but ... (and here's the big but) ... I love cocktails and food that's very, very bad for me. So in the end, whatever workouts I do I end up undoing, and it's...

Re: What JB song really 'speaks to you' about your life & dreams

Each time I travel to the Caribbean, or the Gulf, I think about this verse, and how true it is. It gets to the point (for me anyway) where my love of the ocean, the beach, and life that revolves around it becomes so strong, I can't think of a single reason to go home. I don't have any children, and...

Re: What JB song really 'speaks to you' about your life & dreams

You all picked some good ones. I love One Particular Harbor for the same reasons many have already mentioned. I think we all have that one special harbor that we've fallen in love with during the course of our travels. In addition to One Particular Harbor though, another song that speaks to me is &q...
