For Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras), Signora V. wanted something with a New Orleans flavor, so since the local Cajun restaurants were booked up, I made a Shrimp Étouffée with rice. Since she doesn't like things super-spicy, I went a little easy on the heat, but reserved the right to have a bottle of Hot Sauce at the ready for my own bowl.
Verdict? A definite thumbs-up.
Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler!
Signor V.
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
