Checking in from the early days. All is quiet from the old gang. Some have moved on from the dens of Caligula, bruised but no longer bleeding. I shall listen for the password from the fellow soldiers.
 
Got caught in one here in Lafayette LA this afternoon.
 
Time to get some boudin and cracklins
Exactly what we did. Tried the boudin yesterday. Angela didn't care for it. I thought it was alright.

Cracklins... I ate a few... I'm sure my cholesterol is THROUGH THE ROOF right now.

I learned the difference between Creole and Cajun gumbo. I'm not telling anyone here but I like Creole better. Not that Cajun isn't good...

I've had the BEST red beans and rice around here that I have ever had!

Leaving here with a couple quarts of roux from the grocery store and a couple big bags of seasoning from Avery Island.... I think we ran ourselves to the brink of bankruptcy at the gift shop there!1000002055.jpg

Glad you got to visit Avery Island!!! Did you try the Tabasco Ice Cream?
 
My wife made me promise, when we got married:

1) we will not plant a church
2) we will not move South

Lol! We helped in a few church plants and she has grown to love South Alabama and Louisiana. So much so that she got certified as a Master Naturalist for Mississippi and Alabama 😂

No but we did try the cheesecake:

At first, Angela was put off by the thought of Tabasco Sauce in a dessert but when they brought it to the table, it was all I could do to keep her from gobbling it up before I could snap a picture of it. (See the upper spoon)
