Louisiana Cooking

I also miss putting duck in the smoker, it’s so amazing!

 

This was a friend's boil. I don't put fruit in my crawfish, but it was pretty good.

 

I’ve seen lemon in a boil but usually for crab. I bet it was good!
I’ve never seen mushrooms in a boil, mostly people add corn and potato. Was it good?

 

I always do lemon, I’ve had orange and not a fan.

 

It was great. I grew up on a rice/crawfish farm near Eunice, but I live in New Orleans now. I'm often at the mercy of non-Cajuns' recipes. This was one of the happy surprises.

 

I grew up in Lake Charles but my best friend had tons of family across Louisiana all living below hwy 90. My best memories were small-town marti gras celebrations when we all got a week off from school! I only went to NO once for marti gras and swore I’d never do it again. My pops used to let people pay him with food, if I ever never have to pinch shrimp heads again in my life I’ll not miss it!

 

Put some hot dogs in there. Surprised the hell out of me how good they were with some good spicy mustard on a bun.


I always do extra sausage and onions and use them to make red beans and rice too.

 

We always use lemons when boiling crawfish. Matter of fact now that I think of we have lemons every time we boil or fry seafood. We usually do mushrooms, potatoes, corn, sausage, onion, and asparagus. Got to watch the mushrooms and asparagus though. They're pretty much sponges and soak up all the seasoning

 

Gotta hit up houma for Mardi gras. Wayyyy mo Betta

 

Them baws put tomato in their gumbo

 

Not all of us, but there are some weirdos in every bunch. We avoid Sonics though.

 

lol yea we try to avoid them too

Nice, got a sack being delivered tomorrow.

 

After spending a few months in Vidalia last year, I'm now mad at myself for not checking this thread sooner while I was there!

 

Marceaux is absolutely dealing on the mound.
We just can’t hit the ball
