Fishfiles 20,145 Posted February 26, 2020 Mardi Gras cooking , I done up some Jambalaya with chicken and hot sausage with some BBQ yard bird , lots of fun preparing , LOL I got to participate in the Mamao Mardi Gras one year , worked offshore and some guys from there , who invited me to ride with them and spend the night , which is mandatory LOL , they leant me a horse and that horse was mean to me , LOL , I think they set me up ---- but man is it a good time , you ride from house to house and gather up all the chickens , guinne hens and what ever the people give you live or dead for the gumbo at the end of the ride , they let the birds go and everyone chases it , you are the man if you catch one , lots of drinking going on , that 2019 video above is not really exactly what I seen , but I went 30 years ago ---- tradition cares on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted February 27, 2020 When them crawfish are really big and fat and the shell too hard to squeeze , you can pull the head shell back and run your finger thru and scoop up all that fat , yum !!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 7,605 Posted March 2, 2020 That stuff looks good...... My wife is allergic to crawdads. Sucks because I really like them. My favorite are the regular idaho potatoes cooked in the boil. Love that heat, but since she's allergic I don't get it often anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted March 2, 2020 I like the potatoes too , brown ones , yellow ones , red ones , it don't matter ----- but you got to try sweet potato , it is the next level ----- my wife eats a few , but she is not the best at peeling them , so it is not many that she eats , I seen her tray this weekend , maybe 10 or so 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LedFTed 1,127 Posted March 15, 2020 i made cornbread, with minced onions in it in an iron skillet, cooked black bean's on the stove, with diced tomatoes, and onions, and i baked catfish in stove[unfortunately it had skin on it] with diced mator's, onion's,and concentrated lemon juice on top, [wernt no fresh lemon juice]... i was the only one that et this. Tasted good. i went from 136.4 to 132.4. i ate it over three day's. was never hungry. the brother is satisfied with MC D's, Pizza, store bought junk, an wonder's why he cant loose weight. I might mention, i cut out soft drink's. i got up to one a day. 12oz. i still drank my Bud an JB Maple. i want to cut weight to 125. been doing it for three years. not trying though. a 12 oz., soft drink once a day will keep 5 lbs., on you. that was when i was in training. 1979. imagine what happens when you are stationary. i had to erase some, was too political in a way. conspiracy theory. had to do with kid's. Let's just say it aint like it used to be and leave it at that. We need a private chat room here., so it dont offend someone. for now i will settle with E-mail. nuff said 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LedFTed 1,127 Posted March 15, 2020 baked asparagus at 350 on pizza pan applied some butter when done, et it all. side dish's were chick pea's with chopped onions,some butter, an stewed mator's with italian spice, garlic powder, an too much black pepper. asparagus tasted kinda like corn on the cob. i et 13 stalks, still got some chick peas. an stewed mator's, on top of my egg's they might go good in the morning. chick peas are 75% protein, taste buttery natural. {[just the fact's mam].
