| A great party dip to serve with crackers or chips. Rice and crawfish are two staple food of the Cajuns. The rice stubble/chaf is the prime source of food for crawfish. The crawfish crop is raised in rotation with rice crop. Crawfish farming began in the 1960s. Before then, crawfish were caught in the wild. With the spread in popularity of Cajun cooking, crawfish farming expanded to become an industry that nets Louisiana between $25 million to $45 million per year. Crawfish season begins in the fall when farmers flood their ponds. Harvesting begins as early as November and continues until summer.
To harvest crawfish, farmers drive in boats across acres and acres of ponds, pulling up strings of wire mesh traps and bringing in an average 635 million crawfish annually.

| There are three types of spinach available in U.S. supermarkets: savoy (curly leaf), flat
(smooth leaf) and semi-savoy (slightly curly leaves). The savoy has dark green crinkly
leaves while the flat variety matches its name. The spade-shaped leaves are flat leaves
and have a milder taste than the savoy. The semi-savoy leaves are slightly curly. Baby spinach comes from the smallest leaves of flat leaf spinach plants. One other type not mentioned is frozen - just great for this quick, easy and delicious dip!!! Great for weddings, family holiday gatherings and parites! |

| Fun Facts on eggs from the Department of Agriculture. Eggs age more in one day at room temperature than in one week in the refrigerator. Occasionally, a hen will produce double-yolked eggs throughout her egg-laying career. It is rare, but not unusual, for a young hen to produce an egg with no yolk at all.
It takes 24 to 26 hours for a hen to produce an egg; there is 30 minutes between each egg-producing cycle. About 240 million laying hens produce about 5.5 billion dozen eggs per year in the United States. Egg yolks are one of the few foods that naturally contain Vitamin D. In the U.S. in 1998, hens produced 6,657,000,000 dozen eggs - that’s 6.657 billion dozen! WOW! This recipe will share how to enjoy at least one dozens of those eggs.

| Mom does a crab swim? As many times as I brought my children crabbing at Rockefeller Refuge, Holly Beach, and road side ditches, all I really saw was the crab "walking". According to www.NOAA.gov most crabs "walk" or run across the ocean bottom. Some, such as the commercially caught blue crab of the Atlantic coast (a member of the one family of "swimming crabs") can swim. Their rearmost pair of legs is modified for swimming and legs are paddle-shaped. Recipe adapted from the Texas Extension Service.
