from the kitchen
the aroma of her cajun
mom asks son to stay
homecoming son
at the door itself
aroma of mom's cajun
Rich, spicy, and full-flavored soups and stews characterize the cuisine in Cajun Country, a region stretching from the Gulf Coast to south central Louisiana. Gumbo, arguably the most famous Cajun dish, is a slow-simmered melding of bell peppers, onions, and celery (considered the 'holy trinity' of Cajun cooking) , along with sausage, shrimp, or crawfish. But the true soul of any good gumbo is the thickener, such as roux, a concoction of flour and fat.

Oh now, you've got me homesick all over again! ! ! Cajun Country is, I do believe, not only along the coast, but as far up Louisiana as Alexandria, and even further north of there. Well, you'll know you're not in Cajun Country when you don't see anymore pirogues in the bayous, and the names for the bayous have turned to 'creek'. As for Gumbo? Put shrimp, sausage, AND chicken in it...the kitchen sink! Love this work! ! ! ! xxElysabeth
