Ohhhhhh, the food in Louisiana!!
Researching Louisiana for my second book and let me tell you, just reading about the food is enough to make me ravenous and want to head there now! We should go :) We'll start the morning off with couche-couche - fried cornmeal topped with milk and/or syrup- or maybe you'd rather have a sweet as sin beignet? Off to some sightseeing, then lunch - maybe some etoufee, jambalaya, or boudin. You'll be sayin "Ca c'est bon" (that's good)! More sightseeing, checking out the goings-on, appreciating, or lusting after, the sexy men and beautiful women. Time for dinner! Stuff ourselves with some gumbo, andouille, shrimp floating in bisque, or maque chou. By then it'll be time to burn off some of those calories by gettin down and dirty to zydeco music and swamp pop, or lazing around and drowning in jazz with a cup of cafe au lait. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

And if you are a true Lou, you can't forget the crawdads. Crawdads & Candlelight? After a crawdad boil, the locals bite off their heads before devouring the meat ~ all the while getting lost in each others eyes, crawdad juice running down their chins. (o;
ReplyDeleteOhhh, you are so right! And their juices flowing too!

ReplyDeleteOh, I bet those New Orleans men are! Sexy, handsome, and capable..... I can just picture them striding down the street in Baton Rouge, sprawled in a chair in a jazz club, strong legs clearly defined in worn denim.... hmm, the imagination is a wonderful thing. :)
