CAJUN NIGHT CAME TO TOWN We were welcomed inside with some colorful beads |
...But... CRAWFISH, Potatoes
and JAMBALAYA were.
They had corn on the cob too.
But can't chew on that with our teeth.

These little guys yield about a

AND THE
"PIECE DE RESISTANCE"
Don't JUDGE. There are two pieces, I know.
I'd be LYING if I said one of them
was for my husband. But it WAS.

Looks like a fun time! I would have taken two pieces of that dessert myself!! I bet it was delicious!!
enjoy the weekend!
betty
Why am I suddenly very hungry???
I'm glad you got to see New Orleans. The cake looks scrumptious.
I love Florida and Maine lobster, but I have not yet been able to handle the crawdads. ha!
I think it is watching a true Cajun eat them, I cannot do that!But the rest sure looks good!!!
Neat pictures of the meal.
Last summer we visited New Orleans and 2 of my grandsons just loved the crawdads. I didn't get brave enough to try them out. I like the looks of that dessert.
I am allergic to seafood. I could eat the dessert though! :-)
The soup looks delicious. And that dessert little thingy. Here's hoping they are both SMALL pieces. For me anyway. I've never eaten lobster. I can't get past the way they are cooked. :(
I would have loved that. I really like New Orleans cuisine and I would have had a good time with the dessert. Have a sweet Saturday!
I love that look on your face!
Like "call me a liar and I will CUT you!"
Never had a crawdad but I do love me some of their big cousins, the lobsters.
YUM! Everything looks good... especially the dessert. Now, I've never eaten a crawdad before. What do they taste like? They look... strange. I think it's the little leggy things that make me think I'd pass.. lol.
I love the last picture of you!! I spend most of my time looking over my reading glasses.
Hope you're having a great weekend!
Ahhhh, shellfish and dessert! My favorites!
Mmmm, that looks like one yummy pastry. And it sounds like you both had a great time =)
I loved this entry. I have never eaten Crawdads. They look like they would bite back. The cake looks yummy. I have never had much different then just common farm style food. We did go to a retraunt in Atlanta, Ga. with Joes sister and hubby. Very different than here bu most was good.
I tried my first Crawfish off a chinese buffet just the other night. I have a photo of it on my FB page and it ews everyone. Needless to say, I didnt like it but I would love to try some done up right.
Looks like a wonderful festive night! I'm not much of a cajun girl...but the desserts look right up my ally! Have a wonderful week!
Oh what a good post and to think, I almost missed it! I don't think it has been showing up in my blog roll ?? Anyway, here I am...haa. You can't get rid of a bad penny.
Looks like a real fun time and some good food! I don't blame you for eating both pieces..lol.
This all looks so yummy. I have heard that the New Orleans Gumbo is very good. The girls loved New Orleans when they visited. It is such a spirited place with much culture. My husband loves cajun food. What a delightful post today, Taryterre, especially those bright colored beads!

Suurre it was!
Looks delicious!
Looks like a place the hubs & Colt would love to eat at! Glad you enjoyed it!!
I love this post. I have never seen a crawdad before and have been curious about them. If they're anything like good old Atlantic lobsters, I'd love them. Part of the fun would be in 'rescuing' the food bits from the shells.
Oh it all looks wonderful and absolutely delicious.
Am really hungry now and don't think there is anything nice in the house to eat.
I will just have to look and long at your wonderful photos.

Never had crawdads but my Dad was born near New Orleans and ate all that. Surprised noone called that pastry it's name, a Napoleon. they are very popular here in the Northeast. One of my favorites.
Food p0rn!
Well that looked like a fun time! I use to catch crawdads when I was a kid. I hope at least that the bigger piece of cake was yours! LOL
Dear TaryTerre,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind words on my blog entry today (My Dad's Birthday memories).
