i get the sausage from Giant, i think you have one near ya.. they only carry the johnsonville brand and it's in the small hotdog/bacon section, not the meat section.

i like to add okra but i couldn't find it, frozen is mostly the only way i can really find it..

one of the few states i've never been to... i feel i'm really missing out too. never had real creole or a po boy... only my own and mistakes made by others. thats one of the only reasons i learn how to cook something sometimes.... when i've had the real deal somewhere and then later down the road i try it local or something and just get a big miss.. i can't have the last time i eat a dish be a sucky one so it forces me to learn how to do it right! the best meals we now eat are all home cooked, it wasn't always this way though!!

Most of Weezyanna is swamp and forest but NOLA is one helluva town to visit.
I hate it for those folks down there to get kicked in the nuts again last week. They've been thru enough as-is but always come out stronger on the other side.
The battlefield of the war of 1812 vs Britain is a great visit along with the Quarter and walking along the Mississippi. Tons of US history in that area.

The food in New Orleans is probably the best I've ever had. Everything from fancy and hi-end to dive joints, it's all good.
Breakfast...beignettes and strong NOLA style coffee with chickory
Lunch...Oyster or shrimp poboy. Like cheesesteaks, it's the bread that make them special
Dinner...something fishy like red drum, blackened, and topped with lump crab or maybe a stuffed pork chop with jambalaya or a cup of gumbo on the side. They stuff everything down there from French toast to every meat possible they'll stuff it with something. You can't go wrong stuffed.
Like we've gone down there for football games but make no mistake, food was the priority.

My fave NOLA chef is Kevin Belton. He has a show on PBS you might get up your way but if not he has cookbooks and DVDs. Might be on youtube too IDK. His recipes are legit with his own creations and some passed down thru generations of his family. If you want authentic at home, his recipes are a great place to start

Giant is the only place I can find that kind of stuff it’s not too far I’m about a 20 min drive from the newest one. When I make Indian food I always have to go there because they carry fenugreek leaves

I went to Mardi gras in 2000, we are at some place called lucky chengs Asian creole and about halfway through the dinner I realized all the wattresses were all dudes in drag 😆 the food was excellent
 
Cold snap hitting here too at a mere 40 degrees so I made a Mama Slappin' beef stew with a Wagyu chuck roast rubbed down with Slap Ya Mama seasoning and other fixins then watched the dinner scene from Hateful 8 while eating it

Right!!!!!
Its only 10° up here, says the real feel is -9°f, like what TF!!!!
Click to expand...

brr!!! that real feel is a bunch of BS though... never had it 20 years ago... if it's 10 its 10.. if it feels colder than that then you're wrong you don't really know what ten feels like. haha

if real feel and wind chill were a real thing then show me a device that can measure them.... just BS algorithms IMO.

doesn't really matter what i say though, it's still fuckin cold out!! haha

I had a grilled cheddar cheese sandwich and baked beans just a few days ago. Bacon in the sandwich and beans. 👍

Oatmeal, soups, stews any of the comfort foods that sticks to your belly is great for cold winter morning or nights.

I get Louisana style Adouille in town but it is not primo.
 
I feel like such a fat boy today. My smoker hasn’t been working so I couldn’t make my usual bbq for football playoff games so I ended up grabbing a carvel ice cream cake, well I also grabbed a half oz of Mac 1 which induced major munchies and I completely devoured an entire ice cream cake this past weekend. Time to hit the treadmill

I had one last year, it was good but I definitely prefer a regular ice cream cake. Friendly's makes a good one too 🔥

I would destroy that curry Man!!
You're inspiring me to open this package my sister sent me for Xmas and try it out tonight. I'm not sure what all is in the bag but there's some chicken out in the freezer as well as some left over squash from my pizza so it's time to...
;fafo

Speaking of pizza...Here's my heart healthy concoction from last night.
I used a fresh never frozen take & bake cheese pie from the grocery store then topped it with green and yellow squash, tomato, onion, & green pepper with xtra fat free cheese to melt it all in together. Came out super tasty!

We got hold of a nice French loaf the other day for garlic cheese bread in the oven to go with some spaghetti. Wife added Italian sausage cut into large coins. Nice change.

Tomorrow is shopping day so we’ll see what’s on sale for ideas. We are at that need something different tonight stage. Has to be reasonable amount of prep time and not too complicated.

I’m the fussiest eater, sons the easiest to please, wifes in the middle and the usual cook.

We shall see…
