Sincere condolences, Tree. He sounds like a great best friend. So sorry he was taken too soon.

So sorry for you Tree. I didn't know him personally but judging from those that did, it is my loss. Sounds like he left behind a wonderful legacy...something we all would be so lucky to do.

RIP Gee.

Thank you for posting those pics bro. That pic of he and I were from the LSU/NC game in Atlanta. We were enjoying the sights of "Dragon Con", 4AM, drinking Jack Daniels and negotiating tickets to a Strip Bar.......

Thank you all for the kind words for as good a friend as anyone could ever wish for. KajunGee was Gary Leblanc, we grew up in Red Oaks subdivision in BR, went to Belaire HS. Our parents still live a block apart and his house is on the same street as my parents. If you want to get an idea of who this man really was, just go find his Facebook page. My name is Tim Parrott and I don't mind you finding mine as well if you wish to find out more. I will post his obits as soon as I know. He and I did cook many a black pot of goodness together over the years, including that very 1st TD Tailgate Party. This little "Foodie Family" made him so happy to be a part of (me too). I suck at posting pics, please do so as you find them. I am certain he would approve. Still grieving hard y'all.........


Man, so sorry for your loss.

Thanks for posting that, SR.

ETA: I hit submit by accident. Y'all look like really true friends, Tree. Great pic. Wish I had a chance to know him IRL, though seen his posts.

A Couple of Kajungee's recipes from the TD Recipe book:

Kajungee's Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Fig glaze

1 pork tenderloin trimmed and cut into 1” medallions
1/4 cup butter
1-1/2 cups fig preserves/one fig per medallion
Salt and black pepper and red pepper to taste
granulated garlic to taste
1/4 cup flour
1 Tbs minced garlic
1 small onion thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup Burgundy wine

Procedure
1 In a heavy-bottomed sauté pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Season medallions lightly with salt, pepper, red pepper and granulated garlic. Lightly dust in flour and sauté medallions in butter until golden brown on both sides, 1-2 minutes each side, but do not burn butter. Move medallions to one side of skillet, and then add onions, minced garlic. Sauté 2-3 minutes or until onions are wilted. Pour in Burgundy to deglaze pan and reduce to 1/4 cup, turning the medallions occasionally. Add fig preserves, Adjust seasonings to taste with salt, pepper and red pepper. Sauce should be a little syrupy and a little spicy. Serve medallions hot and top with figs.

Our electrical careers started together over 35 years ago and we had offices a couple doors apart at Doyle.

He had that affect on people for sure. Introduce yourself when you get a chance.
