My favorite, by far, were my sister's crawfish pies that we ate for dinner this evening.  Divine.

  1. I read this and was thinking, "wow.. that's a lot of Cajun food for Los Angeles!" Then I figured out you were talking about Louisiana! LOL

    Sounds Yummy!

  2. Funny. . .it does confuse people at times. I've never been to Los Angeles, but I bet you could like find all these foods in the area. How tasty they might be. . .well, that's left to be determined.
    Have a great day!

  4. Same thing, I thought you were going to Los Angeles, but when I saw your list of foods I was that's not Los Angeles. How does one make Crawfish pie. Do you take the shells off first?

    seafood jambalaya

    blackened catfish topped with softshell crab and then crawfish etouffee (mamma mia -- that was Richard and Cory's choice at Pat's in Henderson)

  8. That's my kind of food (not sure about the poboy with debris, sounds kind of ... "foreign":)). I love seafood, but I don't really know how to cook it. Pasta allo scoglio is as far as I go.

  10. You are really making me miss Louisiana! I'd give my left arm for a shrimp poboy and a spicy Bloody Mary!

  11. Finally catching up on blog reading and good grief this post has made me so homesick and hungry...Pat's, Mother's, po-boys, etouffee,crawfish pie,etc. Hope you waved to my family when you were passing through New Iberia and St.Martinville!
