| 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 |
| One of the fastest ways to make "praw lines" for your holiday cooking or for after services on Sunday! Not yet rated |
| One of my favorite cooking ideas is to deep fat fry our turkey for the holidays or guest parties. Great for holiday cooking and New Years Party. My wife loves it when I cook; gives her time to do the other baking and cooking while I prepare the main dish. |

Andouille (pronounced "ahn-DOO-wee") is the Cajun smoked sausage so famous nationally today. Made with pork butt, shank and a small amount of pork fat, this sausage is seasoned with salt, cracked black pepper and garlic. The andouille is then slowly smoked over pecan wood and sugar cane. True andouille is stuffed into the beef middle casing which makes the sausage approximately one and a half inches in diameter. When smoked, it becomes very dark to almost black in color. It is not uncommon for the Cajuns to smoke andouille for seven to eight hours at approximately 175 degrees.
Traditionally, the andouilles from France (and Louisiana boucheries) were made from the large intestines and stomach of the pig, seasoned heavily and smoked. |

| Peppers were first cultivated by pre-Incan tribes in tropical South and Central America more than 2,000 years ago. Peppers were introduced into Spain in 1493, to England in 1585, and brought to the United States in the 17th century and quickly found its way into the Cajun Cuisine. The bell pepper is now one of the items found in the Cajun Trinity; the other two being onion and celery with garlic sometimes referred to as the Holy Ghost. This recipe features it all in an easy and quick meal of stuffed bell peppers with great Cajun flavors....... |
| Boudin, one of the more popular Cajun delicasies which can be purchased from just about every supermarket, convenience store and restaurants, is basically a rice dressing stuffed in casing. Take your favorite meat, most popular are pork, crawfish and shrimp, add seasonings and rice, stuff it all in a sasuage, add a soda or beer and you have a great Cajun lunch or supper. |

| Cajuns never wasted any part of the hog being slaughtered. This recipe backs up that statement. For those who can not attend the boucherie or are away from home, but would love to make hog head cheese, you can generally find what you need to make this at most Chinese or Hispanic markets or look for 99 Ranch market types of stores. The pig's foot provides the gelatin that sets the cheese. Served on crispy crackers, it's quite good. Hogs' head cheese is also known as souse.

| I can rememeber the first time I heard about King Cakes and the subsequent ride I took to New Orleans to enjoy it's uniqeness and savor it's wonderful flavor. My friend, Ricky, will always be remembered for introducing me to King Cakes. The tradition that started n New Orleans has spread all over Cajun and Creole Country that now one has only to drive to their local bakery or supermarket. Or if you live away from Cajun County ordering online is very easy to get one delivered to your front door or office party. See our site article story on the History of King Cakes and the tradition. King Cake a Mardi Gras classic! |
