Francois's café in the same area is always pretty solid. The staff is very helpful and the owner actually cooks in the kitchen. He makes regular rounds to ask about your food and general experience.

Cafe Phoenicia is another good one, so-so
wine list, but the lamb is killer.

ETA: Oishi isn't bad for a small town sushi place. Service can be slow sometimes.

re: What's your favorite Popcorn?

Stove top, throw some jalapeños into the preheated oil for a min followed by a ridiculous amount of garlic cloves. The trick is to cook the garlic just long enough that when you add the popcorn and it's done popping the garlic is fabulously crunchy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. Trust me it's not as easy as it sounds, I've ended up with quite a few batches that went straight in the garbage. After popping throw some Parmesan cheese on there and it's FDB worthy.

Endless possibilities when it comes to alcohol additions. Schnapps, liqueurs, flavored vodkas...it depends what flavors you want. Peppermint/Cinnamon/Butterscotch are all good schnapps to add. Baileys/Kahlua/Creme de Menthe/Cointreau for liqueurs. Toasted Marshmallow/Caramel/Whipped cream are all flavors now available in vodkas. Like I said the possibilities are endless.
I actually enjoy plain sour cream with original Lay's. Try it, you may like it.
Chuck, sirloin mix with a pat of butter in the middle of the pattie.

Are you using photobucket mobile or th regular version to upload pics?
Don't know about the egg/potato salad thing, it was always a staple growing up (southern tip of Lafourche parish). They don't do the mardi gras by horseback down there,but they always have a boat parade that goes down the bayou between hwy 1 & hwy 308. I can agree that shrimp are in much greater use than crawfish. Shrimp was in everything but crawfish were a treat. Seafood in general was a several times a week thing for us since it was so readily available. Hell, I didn't know seafood was sold in a grocery store until I moved away in highschool. If you couldn't get what you needed from family you bought it from friends or neighbors.

Wine Ice Cream

Anyone have any experience with this LINK. I'm kind of interested.
LINK I believe the recipe says three weeks.

*ETA link
Thanks for the recipe link it will now be in the regular gift giving rotation.

Happily simmering


Ater pulsing a few times in the food processor on my blender. It's on the smallish side so it had to be done in small batches.



Finished product in all it's bacony goodness, and I have to say it is better than I hoped. It made 5 1/2 jars, probably would have been a full six if I would have been able to keep my 13 yr old son out of it.

Anyone on the fence about trying your hand at it DO IT ALREADY. It's more than worth it.
Good point, I hope someone can come up with a solution.
Will do Gris Gris, no recipe for actual canning but I would think it would be similar to a chutney in consistency soooo maybe that would work Stadium Rat.
