| MawMaw was invited to a send off party for one of her friends who had come in from Pittsburgh. The hostess Elaine, invited her good friend Brenda to this party cuz she knew how to fry shrimp. Yes Brenda knows this.....
I will agree these fried shrimp are as good and tasty as any restaurant fried shrimp. Lookout - my Fry Daddy is coming out!

| The secret to this gumbo is the ROUX!!!
Always use warm to hot water to dissolve the roux. While you're at it, make enough as it keeps well in or out of the refrigerator.

| Use this stuffing to stuff vegetables, squash, mushrooms or bake as a casserole in a baked pie shell. Maw-Maw got this recipe from getting together with a classmate at a recent class renion. Class reunions: renewing friendships, sharing a lifetime of memories, finding out all the fun things and idiot things you forgot you did and most importantly sharing the love and comaraderie of your fellow classmates - a connection that is absolutely priceless! In honor to the Class of '66! ***** |

| You will be using a BBQ pit for this dish! Crab boil makes the flavoring difference in this chicken. We think this chicken could compete in flavor with KFC Chicken! Buy an extra case of beer (Drink Responsibly) to treat the cook or better yet Kiss the Cajun Cook - Embrasser le Cuisinier Acadien. ***** |
| Often times you buy a pork roast and there is a large amount of thick pork skin and you wonder if you can cook it as good as your mother or grandmother did. If ever you have tasted this delight you know what I mean. If you have not tasted it...this is the time. The skin will have a crackling texture with such a melt on your tongue flavor. Author's Note - This recipe was copied by my mom from Mercedes Vidrine's column in the Opelousas LA Daily World many years ago.
One reader commented to cut slits in the skin of the roast. ***** |
| Jambalaya is possibly the most versatile of the traditional Southern dishes along with gumbo. Ingredients include a combination of rice, vegetables and meat, poultry, or seafood. This version is made with fresh sausage and smoke sausage. *** |
| Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. Makes me wonder who can cook better. We could always attend the Gumbo Festival in Bridge City, Louisiana to find out. In 1973 the Louisiana Governor issued a proclamation naming Bridge City, “The Gumbo Capital of the World”. The 2006 GUMBO FESTIVAL festivities begin on Friday, October 13th, and continue on the14th and 15th. Located on the west bank of the Mississippi River directly across the Huey P. Long Bridge from New Orleans, the GUMBO FESTIVAL is held at Gumbo Festival Park on AngelSquare, 1701 Bridge City Avenue. Activities include a 5K run over the Huey P. Long Bridge sponsored by the New Orleans Track Club. *** |
| Did you know it is impossible to lick your elbow? Try all you want and you can't. But this fresh hen gumbo will have you wanting to lick the bowl - that I know you can do!

| Fun Fact - The largest cabbage weighed 144 pounds. Cabbage is often prepared by boiling, usually as part of soups or stews similar to borscht (beet soup). Boiling tenderizes the leaves, and releases sugars, and develops the characteristic "cabbage" aroma. ***** |

| From aquaculture.com - There are three species of gulf shrimp that have worldwide commercial importance, pink, gulf white, and brown. Brown shrimp constitute nearly half of the United States shrimp harvests. Gulf shrimp, unlike other varieties of shrimp, do not survive well in captivity and thus are not cultured. The only sources of gulf shrimp are wild. MawMaw does find the brown shrimp in Holly Beach, Louisiana but prefers the taste of the Gulf white.
