The island occupies roughly 2,200 acres and sits atop a deposit of solid rock salt thought to be deeper than Mount Everest is high. Geologists believe this deposit is the remnant of a buried ancient seabed, pushed to the surface by the sheer weight of surrounding alluvial sediments. cool, Mr.Charles! Good morningggggg
	🌍 10:46am slugluv1313: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 hiya Handy -- what fun! hanging with Mariano and the NOLA Contingent 😺😺

	🌍 10:47am Charles in Chicago: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @10:46 It's a really beautiful spot, was there years ago but still remember it well
	🌍 10:53am chresti: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:46 Thanks!
	10:53am mariano: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:42 You know, I have a vague recollection of talking about doberge cakes with you a couple of years back because it's based on the Hungarian dobos torte. The doberge cake was made popular in New Orleans by Gambino's bakery, but it was a Hungarian woman who worked there who created it. en.wikipedia.org...
	🌍 10:54am chresti: ↳ Song: "La Chiflera" by "Fefita La Grande" This sure was fast!
	10:54am greg g: Thanks Rob!
	10:55am von schleppendorf: ↳ Song: "Mosese" by "Orchestra Makassy" @Rob:query, how does the basic looking “legends of east Africa” albums relate to a fave Makassy “agwaya” album. Are the ‘Legends’ albums compilations.
	10:55am mariano: ↳ mariano @10:53 I stand corrected: Joe Gambino bought her bakery and recipes.
	🌍 10:56am Listener Tom: You do a great job with concert listings, Rob! And we thank you!
	10:57am gabriel: this is great
	🌍 10:57am Listener Tom: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:39 Last time I was in Prague I stayed near a big park with a lake that's chock full of coots, and had a coffee with them every morning. ;)
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ RobW ~

	10:59am mariano: Thank you, Rob!
	10:59am von schleppendorf: ↳ Song: "Yondo" by "Zazou Bikaye" The noir et blanc Zazou et Bikaye album took a few spins to get deeply under my skin. Now I gotta find this Mr Manager expanded !
	🌍 11:00am Listener Tom: Thanks Rob!
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Rob!
	🌍 11:00am Charles in Chicago: ↳ von schleppendorf @10:55 www.discogs.com...
	🌍 11:00am slugluv1313: ↳ mariano @10:53 omg, right! dobos torte! i apologize for my senile old brain not working properly -- but right after i typed that, i had this nagging feeling, that you had talked about this before? probably my Hungarian Mom and Grandma smacking me upside the head from the great beyond, too! 😹😹

	10:46am PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:23 Lush subtropical flora and venerable live oaks draped with wild muscadine and swags of barbe espagnole, or Spanish moss, cover this geological oddity, which is one of five "islands" rising above south Louisiana’s flat coastal marshes. The island occupies roughly 2,200 acres and sits atop a deposit of solid rock salt thought to be deeper than Mount Everest is high. Geologists believe this deposit is the remnant of a buried ancient seabed, pushed to the surface by the sheer weight of surrounding alluvial sediments. cool, Mr.Charles! Good morningggggg
