My wife has a couple friends coming in from out of town. They are heading to Jazz Fest for the weekend but I want to cook a nice dinner for them tonight. Thinking Crab and Brie Soup? Any other ideas? It's already hot out so soup isn't exactly ringing the bell.

Mansur's Crab and Brie Recipe

ETA If you serve them pastalaya, I'm going to cut your balls off without a local Artie.

I know it sounds trite, but what about Pastalaya? Chicken, smoked sausage and a Boston Butt.

I thought about jambalaya but I figure they will find some at the Fairgrounds. For the record, last time they were in town I made a shrimp, crab and oyster gumbo that was way too strong.

That's fair. Maybe just a chicken and sausage gumbo. I can do that in an hour.

Chicken and sausage gumbo works any time. With potato salad.

Did you just say that your chicken and sausage gumbo is ready to serve in an hour? I don't even like serving it that day

If the crab & brie seems too rich, how about crab & corn soup? The non-bisque, tomato-based kind...the first fresh corn is starting to appear. If you can't get fresh, the frozen supersweet kernels are good enough.

Make this soup. Follow the directions very carefully. Top with crabmeat.

This soup seems stupid, boring, and too simple. But the technique produces a cauliflower soup that is mind boggingly good. A little crabmeat on top, maybe some nice extra virgin olive oil and some chives.

Crab and Brie us too rich for and entree in my opinion. Crab and corn would be good or crawfish and corn. I have a recipe which isn't heavy and is good in the TD recipe book. Not a thick bisque. Light salad and French bread would make a good meal.

It's a "gumbo gets better the long it simmers/sits" problem, but sure, why not

It's really not a problem. Stock is made. Have some Jacob's andouille. Will it be better tomorrow? Sure. Will a couple girls from north of the Mason-Dixon think it's the tits? Yep.

I'm neurotic when I cook for others. It would drive me insane knowing that what I just served isn't as good as it otherwise could be
