My Cajun S-I-L gave me a copy of The Basics of Creole Cooking booklet and it helped me save face more than once while preparing a meal for my DH's Louisianan family. Since I'm not a southern gal by birth, they were lookin' for a chance to razz me. Didn't happen. If a farmgirl from Colorado can make a roux that impressed my "deep-south" inlaws...gals it's a sure bet you can too! (The gumbo recipe is fool-proof). The book is available online @ the website http://www.tonychachere.com
She considereth a field, and buyeth it; with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. Proverbs 31:16
