Monday update

Pro tip: Go see Chef Steph Cook at Blind Bear for dinner this week (or takeout if the health department shuts down dining in). Yesterday I had his pasta special and it was PHENOMENAL. It exceeded even the high expectations I had.

This is alligator andouille sausage, tasso ham, and shrimp pasta in a slightly spicy cream sauce with tomatoes and green onions. Delicious. Bonus points to Steph for asking, “Has Perjorie tried it yet? What does she think?” Trolls like foods that are the same color as their hair, so she was particularly excited about the green onions.

The Memphis Tigers have accepted an invitation to the Montgomery Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama, where they will play Florida Atlantic University. The game will be on Wednesday, December 23 at 6 PM and will be televised on ESPN.

I’m hearing that the new health directive may be issued today, in response to the disturbing number of new cases reported over the weekend: 930 on Saturday and 695 yesterday.

That’s all for now. Back tomorrow or maybe later today.
