The shrimp and mirliton soup recipe is very good. I use my immersion blender before I add the shrimp, because I like the bisque texture more. ...

re: Green Bean Casserole

Posted by Tomcat on 11/22/23 at 7:01 am

Ditto on cooking the beans longer. I did a homemade green bean casserole (not Alton Brown’s) last year and it was just ok. After thanksgiving I smothered my beans down more by adding some chicken stock and it was much better. The means got more tender and the letting all the seasonings melt into the...

re: Regular or porboiled rice for jambalaya

Posted by Tomcat on 10/24/23 at 6:42 am

I have only used long grain, because the people that learned to cook jambalaya from used long grain. People say that parboiled rice is more forgiving, but I am not a fan. I figured out why I didn’t like parboiled rice as much. When you cook a jambalaya with long grain it absorbs the flavor, whe...

I have a cousin coming in from out of town this week who wants me to make them some crawfish étouffée. I don’t have time to this week. Where is a good place in Baton Rouge to pick some up? I think that Robert’s Fresh Market has some from Hebert’s meat market. TIA...

re: Pressure Cooker Jambalaya

Posted by Tomcat on 8/13/23 at 10:54 pm

Ended up doing it the traditional way, because I didn’t have a good recipe and all day to do it. Don’t know what people shite on trying to cook it in a pressure cooker. I agree it would not be the same, but sometimes people don’t have the time to cook it the traditional way. ...

Pressure Cooker Jambalaya

Anyone have a pressure cooker recipe for jambalaya? I wan to try that method instead of using my cast iron pot. Found some online, but I trust this board more than some of the recipes I saw. Most of them have tomatoes. TIA...

I recently tried to get a room for about the same amount of people and they usually send you to the catering mgr or sales. With a group of that size they want to give you a pre fixed menu and some places even charge a room fee. Had a friend who did a group for prom and Juban’s chatted a room fee,...

re: Car Hauler Brokers

Posted by Tomcat on 3/28/23 at 10:25 pm

Can’t fly there, because it’s Marshall, TX and I need to get it to Jackson or Baton Rouge. If I drive up there with someone and have them drive my car back I have to pay gas for two vehicles and probably $100 for my nephew to do it By that time I will have spent a few hundred in food and gas and wa...

Car Hauler Brokers

Posted by Tomcat on 3/28/23 at 9:32 pm

I put in a bid request in through a third party site that got a bunch of brokers to give me a price on hauling my used truck. Was about to use one person and he changed his price. I got some other low ball numbers and knew they were crap from my first experience. They all want to communicate by te...
