Growing up in Donaldsonville, my favorite thing growing up was gingerbread with the pink icing from Dimm's bakery.

I grew up in Vermillion, but near the Acadia parish line. Boudin King and Elliot's Smoked Sausage.

Yes, that number has crept up, but I grew up on the Eastern Shore with the bay in my backyard and I never bought a crab in my life. Our season runs from about July 4th through November. Most crabs eaten in Baltimore City are imported.

I will also add white potato pie to my list. Now you can tell me that we import all of our potatoes from Iowa.

I can spell correctly. My problem is typing while drunk.

Junior League NO. The Plantation Cookbook. A serious misnomer, but correct.



Got that book sitting right next to me. That recipe isn't in it. I believe it was first published in either the original River Road or Talk about Good. However, a woman named "Madeline", who ran a B&B in St. Francisville claims to have invented the dish. I stayed at her B&B years ago and she told me all about it.

The B&B has since closed, but she used to have the story and recipe on the website. Here's a link to a reference about it.

I have about 5 lbs frozen in my freezer right now. I start to panic when it drops down to a lb or 2.

You are right is it in Talk about Good? Is that the BR JR Leaugue cookbook? Sorry, Tigre.

I'd have to go look. It could be in both. I think the BR book was earlier and I tend to believe that was the first printing, but I can almost picture it in the green font in the Talk About Good book, with my red pen markings.

I knew it wasn't in plantation because that book doesn't have a plethora of recipes and I almost know it by heart. Had it out to make some cheese puffs for the freezer, to use during the holidays.

The crawfish cardinale recipe in that book is terrific. Make 3-4 times the recipe for Christmas Eve, served in a chafer with toasted French bread slices.

EBR and Crawfish/Jambalaya shouldn't even be used in the same freaking sentence. BR can claim the sensation salad and...................... that's about it.
