to my world...Louisiana---------
Bonjour Mes Amis
I am a south Louisiana native with spanish and french heritage. I
have earned a bachelor degree in Business Administration (human
resource management) from Nicholls State University in Thibodaux,
Louisiana
Currently I am living in Lafourche Parish. It is a beautiful parish
with a semi humid climate with its' abundant fresh and salt waterways
allows water fun (boating,skiing )or allows easy sport or commercial
fishing . I love catching choupique,( fresh water bowfin fish), bass,
perch (patassa), catfish (barbue), gar-fish, trout (truite) and many
others.
Lafourche cajun culture( which includes the cajun cooking, cajun humor
and cajun music) with its unique traditions like Mardi Gras, and
the friendliness of the people make it difficult to leave. A visitor
to Lafourche find a unusual animals living in the swamps
like alligators (cocodrie/caiman), and nutria (a aquatic
rodent). One major crop is sugar cane. Sugar cane is grown,
process and transported to be refined all over the world.
A by-product of the process is good boil cane syrup.
On any weekend it common to observe families having fish fry,
or boil crawfish (ecrvisses), shrimp (chevrolet) ,or crabs under
their car porches. Cajun people love to eat almost everything.
Visiting South Louisiana is similar to going to a foreign country.
I will attempt to assist you with the language. Help
you find cajun recipes, cajun humor and some interesting
sight to visit. Hope you enjoy your visit to my world

******"Cooking
Tips Segement"******
Roux Most cajun foods start with a Roux.
Roux is flour browned in shortning.(give food a nutty taste.)
Cajuns use the basic roux to make sauces and gravies.
How to make a roux?
Proporation are two part flour(do not use self-rising) for one part oil(shortening) Place oil in a heavy pot (case iron best).
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the surface of the hot shortening. That reduces the lumps.
Stir the flour (carefully) constantly until the roux is the desires colors.Do not cook roux on high fire.
If your roux is the color of a brown grocery bag is light.
If your roux color of of bitter chocolate that is a dark roux.
If your roux is the light in color you can add a little Kitchen Boquet to get desired color.
All liquids that you add to a roux should be hot. Pour the liquid slowly into the roux.
If you over brown(burnt smell)a roux,get rid of it .. start over
For those who on Low-fat diets (Oil-less Roux) Spread in a thin layer the four on a cookie sheet and place in over at 350. Turn or stir,watch to get the right color.
Frank Davis(WWL-TV cook)call onion, bellpepper,and celery the basic "trinity" of cajun ingredients which is used in most cajun foods..
In most dishes I used the trinity plus garlic, parsely, green onions,hot sauce("TASBASCO"), chicken or beef broth and other spices
