week 12, post 5 -- Cajun Gourmet
I have learned that Cajuns rarely eat out. If they do so, they rarely go to Cajun/seafood restaurants. When I've dined out with Cajuns, I often hear the comment regarding the delicious food we're having: "I (or my dad)can do better at home." It is common for Cajun men to take great pride in their cooking -- a practice entirely confusing to me. The other night, Mr Darrell whipped up a pot of "Poisson Rouge en Sauce Piquant." (Redfish in Red(Marinara) Sauce) No big deal to Mr. Darrell -- it was "to die for." I'm beginning to understand.

ps...is that a Watermelon pattern plate?
Surely they can't raise watermelons in Bayou country?
...Landlocked Ritagail who will never forget the watermelon fields out by Weatherford Oklahoma.
