I made my first gumbo around 40 years ago and have made probably well over 300 since. I have never used store bought roux because it is unnecessary. basically use Paul P.s recipe and always used a fresh hen, deboning after tender. As per Prudhomme's recipe, fresh parsley and green onions at the end....

My buddy and I were on a trip from Baton Rouge to Salt Lake City to go skiing in January 1977. Christmas break from LSU, driving a Fiat sedan. Just short of Lubbock, on a Saturday afternoon, the back end started shaking. The A frame was cracked and the local Fiat dealer couldn't fix it until Mond...

It was a very common supper growing up on a rice farm, either cornbread, coush coush, or biscuits. All eaten in a bowl with milk. I still eat my cornbread and biscuits in a bowl that way. With the coush coush the best thing was some gratons (cracklin to the uneducated)....

I agree with Stadium Rat on everything except the parboiled rice. As someone who grew up on a rice farm, I have never in my life used it and never will. To me it will spoil the taste and texture of the Jambalaya. I always use green onions and parsley at the end along with bay leaf and thyme added...
One more not related to pro golfers. In 1988 I was standing by the clubhouse at the Lafayette Municipal park course (Hebert) watching a group teeing off. One guy was so bad that he could not hit the ball. He swung maybe 6 or 8 times and either hit a foot behind it or swung over the top. Then on...
I work as a volunteer for the Zurich in New Orleans as a walking scorer. About 10 plus years ago I had Fulton Allem (South African) in the group I was following. This was at English Turn before moving to TPC. He was not happy with some of his shots on the first few holes and had let a few choice ...

Where was Sampson for Wake Forest? Not on the bench. Is he injured?...
Watched the game on replay last night on ESPN watch. Probably available for some time since some older games are still available. Very smooth and made some very nice passes, but had a lot of turnovers. Understandable in high school due to pace these teams play at. Gorman had 30+ turnovers and I'...

Tulane 1981 in the Superdome. Lost 48-7 to Tulane!!!!!! Left just after halftime because I couldn't take anymore misery. Amazing that they didn't fire Stovall for 2 more years. Should have fired him that night....
Was just driving by on Perkins and saw the truck. Being from N.O. I had never had a chance to try it. Had heard about them and wanted to try it but never knew where they would be.
