I’m sorry. I just can’t help myself. This is my “honeysuckle gate”. The smell is so inviting right now.
And a new crop of spider lilies. Four in a row. I don’t think they’re appropriately named. Don’t spiders have 8 legs?
If you haven’t already, please back up one post and enter the NAME THE BIRDS CONTEST! I’ll be putting the names in a hat tonight and choosing a winner.

BW made a trip down to Grand Isle to see what was going on with the beach cleanup, and what she uncovered might surprise you . . . .
LilSis and I did actually cook some of those fresh shrimp while I was up there. We were developing a signature shrimp recipe for Camp Dularge and we adapted this one from several recipes including one from Coco Marina, which I think they made quite famous. I had never had it before, but it sounded…
Signs on Grand Isle reflect the attitudes of residents.
Bayou Woman is cooking blackened red fish and trout!
That’s the title of last night’s FOX 8 news piece written by my friend Carolyn Scofield. Sorry I can’t post the video here, but it belongs to FOX 8 so I will just give you the link and hope you follow it today and enjoy this great mini view of my friend Rickey, whom I lovingly nick-named Bayou Fabio about ten years ago.
I will be back here later, hopefully with a good update about the opening week of brown shrimp season.

We’re approaching the end of a very long, hard winter. Of course, down here in bayou country, we can’t complain about snow-covered driveways or frozen ponds; but any time the temps dip below freezing and stay that way for more than a day, we pretty much go into shock and hibernate as much as possible….
OH BW I am SO jealous – we still have SNOW!!! AAAAHHHGGG…. last year at this time we wer planting our oats, this year we don’t even have the tractors ready because it is so friggin cold!!! LOL I love honeysuckle and those are beautiful – mine are red and yellow and the humming birds LOVE LOVE LOVE them. 🙂 Can you post more about your cooking, I live in Wisconsin and was COMPLETELY enthralled with the shrimp boil…
Oats? Farmer lady? Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a comment, Heidi! I love red honeysuckle, too, but someone mowed mine down–all four of them, “Uh, I didn’t know what they were.” Anyway, about the bayou cooking, did you check out the Bayou Woman Cooks for archived cooking posts? Come back soon!
