| Most Cajun farm families raised their own source of meat from meat supply from cattle to chickens to pigs and hogs. A "sow" is a female mother pig, a "boar" is a adult male pig, and a "piglet" is a baby pig. A "herd" is a group of pigs.Despite popular belief, pigs are one of the cleanest animals there are; must be why they are such a popular food item. |
| A sweet and spicy tasting sauce with shrimp. As wih most of all seafood recipes, crawfish may be substitued for shrimp.

| The word shrimp can often be used interchangeably with the terms "prawn" and "scampi". While scampi generally means cooked shrimp cooked in butter or garlic, prawn refers to the Freshwater Shrimp. Numerous varieties of shrimp exist, among them brown, white, pink, royal red, brine, and rock shrimp. Depending on the species, size ranges from about 1/2 inch long on the west coast of the United States, to almost 12 inches elsewhere. Not yet rated |

| I made this reciepe from the top of my head one day. I guess I was bored. I am still trying different ways to cook it. You may also add shrimp to it. You can also double the recipe. Play around with it. This is by far a healthy diet meal, but oh so good. Enjoy making it and eating it. |
| Angel hair pasta in Italian is described as this long delicate noodle called capelli d'angelo. Angel hair pasta should be served with light, delicate sauces. This recipe sure fits the bill as this dish is just heavenly.

| Use this stuffing to stuff vegetables, squash, mushrooms or bake as a casserole in a baked pie shell. Maw-Maw got this recipe from getting together with a classmate at a recent class renion. Class reunions: renewing friendships, sharing a lifetime of memories, finding out all the fun things and idiot things you forgot you did and most importantly sharing the love and comaraderie of your fellow classmates - a connection that is absolutely priceless! In honor to the Class of '66! Not yet rated |
