What is this blog about? Well, I made this blog to share with my mom for her #($&'th birthday. Back up: one of my mom's many qualities is her great ability to cook. A spillover effect of this ability is creating children (my brother and I) who also like to cook and expect to eat pretty good and reasonably healthy things. So, when I got married this summer and moved two weeks later down to New Orleans, LA, with its tremendous cuisine and intriguing culture represented in every dish, I had to 1) take advantage of said cuisine and 2) find a fun way to keep in touch with my mom back in Wisconsin.
SO, what is this blog about? Every two weeks my mom and I will select a recipe from one of three Creole/Cajun cookbooks, prepare the dish separately (with substitutes as needed as there aren't a lot of crawfish in Wisconsin), take a picture and blog about each dish with our thoughts, and anything else someone who happens to be around the table may say. And when she comes down to visit, we'll do the dish together.
I hope you enjoy it, but it's really for my mom.
What a son!
