re: Kartchner's can't miss items

Friend,

What an absolutely heart warming delight to read your beautiful words, savor your delicious photo, and share in your first experience with that wonderful dish. Wife seems to be a good hearted woman -- one who cares deeply for your well being. Please forgive her for not getting boudin and cooking for 45 minutes. The bacon jacket and the cream cheese filling allow for some lenience in cooking time for those heavy on the oven. I was relieved and thrilled to read how the longer cooking time did not diminish the dish's excellence in any way.

Please give Wife my warmest well wishes and tell her to keep loving you by providing these most special of dishes. What a woman, and I think Mother would share in my high remarks about her.

Yours,
TulaneLSU
