| Did you party hard when January 01, 2008 rolled in? Were you sleeping? Or sharing some of this wonderful easy to make dip; Hence the words "easy" and "bachelor", synonymous words indeed. The author was once a DJ and manager of the KROF radio station in Abbeville, LA but many Kaplanlites remember him from the days when his Dad had the store next door to the school, He was able to open a pack of cigarettes back then and sell cigarettes 2 for a quarter. Remember this without telling your age? A word on this dip: The longer left in the fridge the better. One day is good; the next day is better; and one week later it is "Oh my God, how good"!

* During the time it takes you to read this sentence, 50,000 12-ounce aluminum cans are made.
* An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now!
* There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can can be recycled.
* Aluminum can manufacturers have been making cans lighter -- in 1972 each pound of aluminum produced 22 cans; today it yields 29 cans.

| | Kristie writes - "I actually have a recipe that has been in my family for about a hundred years. It is an apple cake recipe, and it is an incredibly dense cake . I noticed a similar recipe on your website, but since mine isn't exactly the same I thought I would submit it to you. The secret to mine is the brown sugar and baking the cake in a cast iron skillet".
Talking about cast iron it was interesting to read on catfish gumbo's blog spot - HEAVY DUTY DECOYS - No one would make duck decoys out of cast iron, right? Wrong. The idea seems preposterous, yet hunters of the past often used them. These flat-bottomed birds, each weighing as much as 30 pounds, were set on the wings of sink boxes to provide stability and to keep the boxes flush with the water’s surface.
| | Tasso, a nicely seasoned, intensely flavored smoked pork, adds a wonderful flavor to a variety of dishes, from soups to jambalaya to pastas and seafood ...or place strips on fresh Evangeline Maid, Sunbeam or Holsum Bread, spread mustard on the bread and enjoy a King's meal at a paupers' price. This recipe sounds like it would also go real well with grits.
Not yet rated | | This recipe has been a popular requested dish. From the USDA site we find: When you think
about crawfish, most people envision Louisiana parties, family gatherings, and boiled crawfish. Due to the increased interest in crawfish, farmers
have transformed fields into crawfish farms, and have expanded production along the Gulf coastal regions of the United States. Two species of
crawfish are commercially produced: the Red Swamp (Procambarus clarkii) whose outer covering is
deep red, and the White River (Procambarus
zonangulus) whose shell is creamy white and light lavender. There is no difference in the taste or texture of the meat, only in the outer appearance of the shell. Also, the Red Swamp has yellow fat which is commonly seen in the head of the crawfish after cooking, and the White River has green fat, and for that reason the White River is not as acceptable for cooking. It is simply a matter of choice and appearance. | | Boulette is a French term meaning ‘little ball’, which is applied to a fairly whiffy soft cheese that is made in Belgium and French Flanders or to the Cajuns who create a taste sensation as with this recipe. | | Great to make for Thanksgiving, Holiday parties, and family gatherings.

This recipe calls for vanilla extract and not flavoring. From Cd-Kitchen - Vanilla extract is a vanilla-flavored product made by macerating chopped vanilla beans in a water-alcohol solution to extract the flavor; its strength is measured in folds. The contents of ethyl alcohol is at least 35% by volume (edocket.access.gpo.gov); flavoring on the other hand has less than 35%.
