re: What’s your favorite ice cream?

For me it's Blue Bell Pecan Pralines & Cream, their new White Chocolate & Mocha sounds good and right now Costco's Vanilla.

I just got home from the Northshore doing some errands. I stopped at the Rouse's on 190 and they didn't have Rabideaux's sausage. At least I know now I can get French Settlement closer than Hammond/Ponchatoula.

Kartchner's and...
Bourque's...just be careful driving through Port Barre especially down the side street to get to Bourque's
The local cops can smell foreigners and will ticket you for breathing but the boudin is worth it
Bourque's can tell that you're not local and they will ask if you want a setup to eat on the way back home, in my case that means all the way to Denham Springs.
Then they'll take scissors and cut the boudin into bite size pieces and wrap it up in a tray with a separate layer of a ton of napkins and plastic utensils and crackers. The way they wrap it up allows you to access the boudin and eat it all the way home without making a mess in the car.
5 Stars!
I do like me some Bourque's! Their jalapeno cheese bread used to be great but the last couple of times I've been it hasn't been so. A problem I have is I usually manage to pretty much leave with a new cooking utensil they sell. My wife hates when I go there! LOl..
I usually head to Kartchner's and Billy's in Krotz Springs from Bourque's.
I also like to stop in at Soprano's in Livonian too.
Years ago I once made white beans and shrimp for our K of C fish fry dinners(like over 300 dinners)and at first some people were a little skeptical(it came as a side to the fried catfish)after they ate it they were sold on it and loved it.

I've never seen it in the New Orleans area or in Covington for that matter. But, I will check there again just in case I overlooked it.
I do like French Settlement brand.
And I have tried the andouille places in Laplace but find the smoked sausage to be a bit dry. Now when it comes to andouille I love Bailey's. It's not too dried out, it's smokey and well seasoned.
White Beans and Shrimp
Posted by Cajunate on 9/22/26 at 6:37 pm
I put a pot of white beans on to cook earlier and added some nice shrimp toward the very end.
Started of with some green onion sausage and pork jowl.
Added onion, celery, b-pepper, garlic and green onions and cooked that down a bit.
Added the beans, brought it to a light boil and then simmered until done.
Toward the end added fresh parsley and the shrimp and it was ready to enjoy.
Threw some sweet potatoes in the oven and baked those and warmed some French bread slice and it was time to eat!
That's it!
Don't know why I was thinking it started with a B. Thanks!!!
Louisiana Smoked Sausage
Posted by Cajunate on 9/22/26 at 4:17 pm
I'm in Metairie but there is or was a Louisiana smoked sausage I always wanted to try but it's not sold this way. I think the closest you could get it was around Lafayette and west. Anybody have any ideas? It was sold commercially and I want to say it started with a B.
Thinking About A Boudin Run
Posted by Cajunate on 9/22/26 at 11:08 am
I'm thinking about doing a boudin run in the near future. Really any Cajun specialties.
Anyone have any "must try/have" suggestions?

That depends on how many of them I have before I start cooking. :lol:
What Am I Cookin' Here This Evening? / Steak & Cheese Sandwiches
Posted by Cajunate on 9/17/26 at 2:59 pm
Not really a whole lot of prepping for dinner tonight but I'm just waiting for the time to get started cooking.
Having a cold one too!
Toasted the bread on the griddle a bit then griddled the onions and peppers.
The onions! Griddled onions are amazing on anything.
Things got going pretty fast when I put the meat on the griddle so didn't get many pictures.
Also tossed some fries in the fryer and it was time to eat!
This was a bit of a sloppy meal but it was delicious!
Breakfast Night of the Week
Posted by Cajunate on 9/16/26 at 6:41 pm
Started off with frying some bacon, then some H.E.B. brand smoked breakfast sausage.
Whipped up some pecan pancakes, blueberry pancakes and Jiffy corn muffin mix pancakes.
My eggs were over easy.
Alright so we had those red beans tonight and they were delicious!
Didn't really need more meat but I put some sausage on the grill anyway.
I know most of you thought I should make a jalapeno cornbread but I wanted biscuits so I made jalapeno cheddar biscuits.
[ 
Oh, in case you didn't notice I had a few pickled okra on the side too.
re: Tomorrow's Red Beans Cooking Today(Tonight Now)
Posted by Cajunate on 9/14/26 at 10:27 am to SidetrackSilvera
Wrong! That story has been around since at least the 1960's and longer I'm sure. It's also the day steps and stoops were scrubbed with soft red bricks in the French Quarter and elsewhere and on wash days.
When the beans were done yesterday afternoon some were put in the freezer for some future Mondays and some were put in the fridge for dinner this evening.
Tomorrow's Red Beans Cooking Today(Tonight Now)
Posted by Cajunate on 9/13/26 at 10:27 am
I put a few pounds of red beans on to cook this morning for tomorrow evening's dinner. Got some andouille, tasso, green onion sausage and pickled pork it the pot with onions, celery, bell peppers and garlic as well a a bunch of bay leaves. These should be good!
And of course one must stay hydrated when cooking!
I may have to make some homemade biscuits for this tomorrow evening.

Grilled Burgers and Thighs
Posted by Cajunate on 9/7/26 at 7:22 pm
The wife wanted grilled chicken thighs and I wanted burgers.
Staying hydrated while grilling.
Some of the burgers and warming the buns.
Seasoned the burger meat with Badia Coffee Pepper Rub, diced shallots, this sliced green onions and granulated garlic. These were amazing!
My burger had pepperjack cheese, jalapeno bacon, candied jalapenos, a couple of onion rings, bread and butter pickles, yellow mustard, a lil mayo and Franklin's bbq sauce.
White Beans and Buttermilk Cornbread
Posted by Cajunate on 9/1/26 at 6:47 pm
Took a container of white beans I cooked a couple of weeks ago from the freezer and made a nice buttermilk cornbread for dinner.
Dessert was another piece of cornbread with some Steen's syrup.
Monte Cristo Sliders
Posted by Cajunate on 8/31/26 at 6:43 pm
This evening was a quick prep meal.
Ham, Swiss, Provolone, turkey with a smear of blackberry spread on Hawaiian buns with potato salad on the side.
Hot out of the oven.
Add a sprinkling of powdered sugar and it was ready to eat.
