| Here is a crab fact...did you know that a female crab is known as a "she-crab"?
The meat from this beautiful blue-clawed swimming crab (male or female)is known for its delicious flavor and delicate texture. Each grade has distinctive flavor and appearance. Crab meat from the body is pale ivory and subtle in flavor; claw and leg meat has a darker, reddish color and is more flavorful. Either type of the crab meat is wonderful for cooking this dish or any other type crab recipes.

| Cajuns and their families love to crab. Just about any Cajun child can tell the difference between a boy crab and a girl crab.
Male and female crabs can be distinguished by examining their segmented abdomen. The abdomen is folded and fitted snugly into a groove on the underside of the crab. The male's abdomen is long and slender, resembling an inverted "T". A female's abdomen changes as it matures; an immature female has a triangular shaped abdomen whereas, a mature female's is rounded.
Every child remembers when they had to throw back the girl crabs. This is a dish you can make when you get to keep them.

| When I saw this recipe in the CookSmart section of USA Weekend I knew I had found a great alternative to making holiday eggnog without raw eggs. There is no cooking, no whipping egg whites and cream. Just mix right up and freeze. The spirits keep the milk from freezing and the freezer keeps the milk from spoiling. Now that the children are of age to drink repsonsibly, I can make the easy stuff. |
| Shrimp is one of the most popular shellfish in the Cajun Land. This is not surprising because shrimp have a distinctive flavor, and the pink-white cooked meat is tender, delicate and delicious. The shrimp is a ten-legged crustacean that has its skeleton on the outside. Shrimp from the warm waters of the Gulf and South Atlantic grow larger then cold water shrimp. The species of warm water shrimp most commonly found in the market are white, brown, and pink. They are interchangeable in any shrimp recipe. Most of the Cajun Land shrimp come from Gulf waters and are used to make this delicious shrimp mold popular at Cajun Weddings and Holiday parties.
The pretty salmon color of this dish lends a nice touch to decorating the bride's food table or a party table.

| A recent question asked on the Dave Letterman show was "Other than egg, what is your favorite nog?"...Then I had to hear PawPaw say that same joke until the end of Christmas. So to keep him happy, I would make this really delicious NOG; a recipe from Better Home and Garden. Then this year (2007) my daughter who loves soy products, found some Silk Nog. Now we can all write to Mr. Letterman. Not yet rated |
