On day one of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, it broke my heart to think of the family members who sat in fearful anticipation of what might have happened to their loved ones who work on rigs. My heart ached too for our gulf and the fertile yet fragile ecosystem of our coastline. It never occurred to me to hate the oil company or to hate offshore drilling. The rigs have been out there in the gulf my entire life. They've become reef systems for every type of aquatic life you can imagine. Part of fishing as a child meant heading out to the rigs. The inland rigs meant redfish and trout, and that meant court bouillon and almondine. A little farther out it was lemon fish, grouper, and amberjack, fish for the grill. Yet farther out and it was tuna, bull dolphin, wahoo, and other powerful fish it took considerable means to fish for, both in money and equipment. We had neither, so those trips depended upon an invite.

There was really no "take".
It was a very safe and uncontroversial kum-ba-ya article.
He's a hell of a cook though. Blows Emeril out of the water.

He is a damn good cook. If you like real french food you have to try La Provence in Lacombe. sorry for the thread hijack.

Seems a pretty good cautionary poisition about the dangers of paiting any of this with a really broad brush.
