The Folks of Louisiana!!!!! - cjs - 12-08-2014 This thread will be a little disjointed, but bear with me – I cannot believe the people we are meeting here. I’m so shaggy (have not had a haircut since we left P.A.!), so drove to Lake Charles to a shop I’ve heard good things about. On the way, we stopped at Hackett’s Cajun Kitchen and picked up Boudin Sausage, Spicy Pork Sausage and Pork Tasso http://www.hackettscajunkitchen.com/ Did some running around and stopped back at Pat’s of Henderson – we’d been there a week or so ago and just had a ball with everyone. Nancy, the owner, is the one who took our Merry Christmas picture I posted on facebook – she and I just bonded immediately. http://patsofhenderson.com/menu.html Anyway, we had another wonderful lunch – I had Crawfish Fettuccine and Roy had Crawfish Gumbo Our leftovers from Pat’s – my crawfish fettuccine (in the dish it was served in 'cause it had all that crusty goodness!!) and Roy’s crawfish gumbo and a loaf of bread!!!! AND THEN, as Nancy & I were talking, she said hold on I’ve got some things for you to play with - Care pkg. from Pat’s: 1 3/4 lbs. of their corneal breading, 1 1/2 lbs. FRESH alligator, Sauce of some kind – hotter than hell, have to call & ask what it is, two pcs. Cheese cake with sauces and 2 unbaked loaves of their bread offering. Unfriggin’believaable – These people are just unbelievably kind around here. AND THEN, these notes from the different wait staff – that we can all play with Daniel – stuff mushrooms with crab cake mixture. Tina – her mom makes her gravy when she makes Yorkshire puddings (in a muffin pan) with equal amounts of jus and black coffee. Tina again – she makes: Brown pork chops, set aside. IN same skillet make a sauce of sliced peaches (canned are fine) Nutmeg Butter Cinnamon Granulated sugar & brown sugar Milk to make creamy S&P Ya think we’re going to be eating for the next week high off the hog??????????????

Re: The Folks of Louisiana!!!!! - DFen911 - 12-10-2014 I swear Jean you are our official Food Ambassador Re: The Folks of Louisiana!!!!! - cjs - 12-10-2014 Come join us for a fast trip, Denise - after Laura leaves! Re: The Folks of Louisiana!!!!! - DFen911 - 12-10-2014 I wish we could! But we're not taking any trips longer than a week or so because of Derek's dad. He could live another 5 years, but it really bothers me getting to far away if something happened. So we are keeping our trips to within 7 hours from home at the most. LA is about 6-7 days away Someday we'll travel for real like you guys do
