| Fun Facts on Eggs from Fremont Farms of Iowa LLP
Eggs age more in one day at room temperature than they do in a week if refrigerated.
To make easy to peel hard boiled eggs, allow the fresh eggs to age for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator before boiling.
The average hen will lay about 245 eggs per year.
The older a hen gets, the larger her eggs become.
To boil the perfect egg see the recipe Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs on this website. |

| Eggplant "Cajun Canoe" fried with Italian style bread crumbs and manned by a crew of 5 Creole garlic butter sauteed shrimp. |
| This bouille is an old Cajun recipe from my mother-in-law. Mine never tastes quite as good as her for some reason! You can eat this warm by itself or use it a topper for sliced angel food cake or crumbled regular cake. You can top with chocolate syrup, cherries, etc. Not yet rated |
| From Trappey's Pepper Plant in New Iberia, LA - Did you know that peppers, both hot and mild, contain an ingredient that can actually make you feel better? It's called capsaicin, and it's a natural stimulant that causes the release of endorphins. (Endorphins are the body's natural painkiller, and can create a sense of well-being, increase the heart rate and speed up metabolism.) It's no wonder that peppers can actually be habit-forming! Must be why dem Cajuns love peppers! Not yet rated |
| I usually cook this on Sundays before a Saints game. It's a crowd favorite -- the ladies love it! |
| This recipe was posted on Lou Ana Cooking Oil website. Maw Maw's Uncle Bill won the original art poster contest for the 100th birthday celebration of Lou Ana Oil. What is most interesting is that Uncle Bill had a crawfish mascot also named Alfonce. How interesting when things comes full circle. MawMaw halved the recipe and still made 20 beignets. |
