TENNESSEE GOV. BILL LEE SIGNED A PARDON FOR COUNTRY STAR JELLY ROLL
This relates to pre-2010 felony drug and robbery convictions.
The grant of clemency comes following a unanimous recommendation from the Tennessee Board of Parole and a thorough review process acknowledging his redemption, advocacy, and positive transformation into a musical success story.
Jelly Roll joined others on the 33-person list to receive pardons.
They all share a similar background and each person received a pardon after at least five years of living freely in their community, meaning no sentences were commuted and no one was exonerated of any convictions.”
So, what does this pardon mean?
It helps remove barriers for Jelly Roll's international touring and gun ownership.
SO YOU WANT TO FLY WITH YOUR CAST IRON PAN THIS HOLIDAY?
Apparently, many do.
The TSA reports many air travelers want to carry-on kitchen utensils — likely to cook with once they get where they are going. There are those who try boarding with heavy cast iron pans, but those are not allowed and must be checked.
Too heavy and could be used as a weapon. But I get why people want to keep their prized pans nearby. This is my late mother-in-law’s famous cast iron pan. I would never let this out of my sight. If you know cast iron skillets, you know new ones are not ready…they need to be seasoned with time. My mother-in-law’s pan has cooked thousands of meals over more than a half century. She used it so much the handle broke and her husband had to weld it back in place. The inside of the pan is so conditioned that it feels like velvet. And, can it cook?
Cornbread, catfish, pork chops, bacon, eggs … you name it — all perfect. This pan is priceless and cannot be bought or replaced. You gotta love an experienced cast iron pan.
ANYONE LIKE A GOOD SAUSAGE BALL?
It’s a holiday tradition around here.
I never heard of sausage balls until I moved to the south. Since then I’ve had the pleasure of many, many sausage balls. My late sister-in-law Bug made delicious ones.
But, my favorite arrived today from my good friend Jimmy. His are smaller, made with spicy sausage and cheddar. A bit chewy and — when warm — so good.
CAREFUL, OR YOU MAY EAT TOO MANY.
YOU’VE GOT TO LOVE A GOOD HOLIDAY MOUNTED HORSE PATROL.
This thanks to Metro-Nashville Police Department’s Mounted Patrol.
That’s Nomad and Nitro patrolling downtown Nashville during the busy Christmas season. Did you know the patrol was established back in 1998?
It is a full-time team consisting of seven officers and one sergeant.
