re: Aluminum foil...is it safe?

If you've ever seen what happens when you leave it overnight in contact with tomatoes, you might believe it's dangerous.
I've been following your post with interest because I wondered the same thing when I was thinking about a seafood boil calculator. If I could afford it, I would do an experiment cooking crawfish to figure out the equivalent amounts for liquid, spice mixes and spice bags.

Obviously, with old-fashioned spice bags and liquid need an addition of some amount of salt. And spice bags need lemons and other seasonings.

The experiment would be to cook crawfish only using each kind of seasoning (plus salt or other missing seasoning) to try to come up with some kind of equivalency for each.

Very good question, OP.
We ordered a pizza from there once. Since my wife doesn't care for green pepper, we ordered a deluxe (or whatever they call it) without any of it.

When it arrived, there was so much green pepper on it that you couldn't see anything but green on the top.

Never got it from there again
I would have said Meaux Jeaux's right around the corner on Transcontinental.

Here is a kitchen calculator I just uploaded for you. It was part of software whose company is now defunct (Living Cookbook).

Never tried this one but it sounds good. Of course, it needs to be scaled down for home use.

R&K's had great hushpuppies.

Ralph and Kacoo’s Hushpuppies

5 lbs cornmeal
2 lbs flour
3 ½ cups sugar
2 ½ Tbs salt
¼ tsp baking soda
¾ cup baking powder
1 tsp red pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup green onions, chopped
4 cups evaporated milk
4 ½ cups water
5 eggs
2 Tbs parsley

Mix all dry ingredients.

Add milk, eggs, water, green onions and parsley and blend well. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Spoon into deep fat at 350 degrees and fry until golden brown.

Anybody know if there is a chaurice sausage available in supermarkets? I always thought chaurice was the sausage I'd get when ordering RB&R at a local (NOLA) lunch place. Is that the right sausage?

From the New Orleans Cookbook (Collin)



quote:

4 lbs of beans for every 10 lbs of rice.
that's 32 cups of beans to 25 cups of rice. 25 ÷ 32 = 78.125%.

That's a good amount. You won't have any worries about not having enough rice.
You're gonna get about 8 cups of beans per lb. Use 1/2 to 1 lb seasoning meat per lb.
Dill goes well with salmon.
