| My friend Todd lives in a small Cajun town called Church Point La. Church Point is a town in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, United States. St. Landry Hospital, has organized an annual Buggy Festival, held in Church Point on the first weekend in June. The town was chosen because residents had used buggies as their main means of transportation until the early 1950s, earning Church Point the nickname "Buggy Capital of the world" in 1927. The town now proudly calls itself the "Cajun Music Capital of the World," based on "having the greatest number of professional Cajun musicians of any place on earth." A different Cajun musician is honored each year on Cajun Day, the second Sunday in November. The most celebrated town for Mardi Gras it is famous for the Courir de Mardi Gras. |

Plato was often referred to as a "fig lover" because of his extreme fondness for these succulent morsels. The ancients believed that figs, one of the oldest cultivated fruits, brought pleasant dreams and should be eaten before dinner when the mouth is at its purest.!!! Not yet rated |
| There is a wonderful cafe in South Crowley known as the "The Firehouse Cafe'. Actually they were voted as having the "Best Plate Lunch" in Crowley. MawMaw does agree cause she eats there quite a bit. This cornbread recipe was handed down from the owner's grandmother, Amedia Meaux, to her mother Lerline Meaux. This recipe is great for making cornbread dressing, eating with cracklin's, syrup or MawMaw's favorite, cornbread, milk and fig preserves. But Mawmaw is from the old school too; she loves to drop coffee in her milk for that real great coffee milk flavor! Oh and don't forget to put a teaspoon of sugar on top of that cornbread! |
| 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.

| Cornbread is a favorite throughout America, though you will find different versions of it in different parts of the country. In the North, where the corn muffin holds the distinction as the official state muffin of Massachusetts, it tends to be sweeter and more like cake. In the South it tends to have a fuller texture. In the Southwest you'll often find cornbread flavored with chopped chilies and onions. In Cajun Land, they love crawfish, cheese, and pepper amoung other things. |
