The Making of Traditional Boudin
By Maw-Maw
When Ruth wrote asking if there was anyone in San Diego willing to make boudin with her..she sure didn't expect Maw-Maw herself to show up!
So here I was, MawMaw reading her daily abundance of emails when I received the email from a Cajun family transplanted in San Diego wanting to get together with someone to make boudoin. Gosh, how long had it been that my family had gotten together, started the fire, heated the water, slaughtered the hog, and made some really fine pork dishes?

Buying Louisiana Crawfish on the Web
By Chrissy LeMaire
CajunCrawfish.com delivers an authentic Cajun experience!
After spending 19 years with unlimited access to crawfish in Louisiana, I moved to the almost-crawfishless state of California in 1997. In the past 5 years, I've only been able to enjoy crawfish twice. One of those magical times was on March 26, 2003.

A Displaced Cajun finds authentic Cajun Food in Southern California
By Chrissy LeMaire
Awesomely authentic!
I moved to Southern California in 1997 and over the years I've searched high and low for food that tasted like home. I'll be honest, I was naive I didn't know that Cajun food was "ethnic." I thought everyone around America ate rice and gravy for supper 3 times a week. Boy was I surprised when I got here and couldn't find convenience stores anywhere nearby that served boudin or tasso.
