    Thinking about building another pit. Well actually I'm past thinking about it and has already started to cut the material out. I'm planning on making a 20"x48" pit with a side firebox. I looked around for a pipe but I am to much in hurry waiting around for a good deal to come along so I'm going...

    Gumbo Basics

    Great post Foam. Some folks say gumbo is a cold weather meal, I can eat gumbo in August with no problem. I always thought that a good gumbo started with a good roux. But a few years ago I was proven wrong. I have a cousin that won the gumbo cook off a few years in a row at the bonfire festival...

    Jambalaya pots.

    I'm sorry but I spelled it wrong. It's Tureau. Guess I'm used of throwing in that o before the u with my last name. Writing these post from my phone so not all words comes out like they should at times.

    Jambalaya pots.

    Pcallison like Foamheart referred to nothing is written in stone and there are many ways to cook it. Foamheart I'm sure you notice I do mine a lil different than your typical Gonzales jambalaya. Once something goes into the pot it stays in the pot. I find that way the flavors blend together...

    Jambalaya pots.

    The andouille is from Bailey's in Laplace. Veron's ranks 4th to me behind Bailey, Jacobs, and Dons. Now the sausage is still one of the best if you go to the old store in Lutcher and buy it in the box. The veron's in the local stores in the vacuum pack packages come from the provisional and are...

    Jambalaya pots.

    Foamheart if you are living just south of the bridge you are in the Union/Convent area than I guess. I spent many years when I was young growing up in that area. I worked for my cousins there in the fields and the greenhouses. You might know them, the Romes right there in the big curve in...

    Boston butt Sunday morning

    Pier I did wrap one and left the other out. Taste and flavor wise didn't notice really any difference. The one I left out you could tell the outer edges were drier but the inside was still juicy. The chicken on the stick was the hit especially with the kids. I think I even preferred it but what...

    Jambalaya pots.

    So Foamheart where you from, i take it the Gonzales area and how long have you been away? I was from St. James but live in St. Amant now. I'm sure your jambalaya came out great. And one thing I have never seen is a poor cane farmer.
