When I first met this original bayou woman, it was 1979, and I was working as a dispatcher for ODECO. She answered the old black telephone in her native tongue, her words lost on me. I had called her house to ask if her son, the crew boat captain, happened to be home. His boat…

Spicy Oyster Crackers
It’s holiday time again, and everyone is looking for that special little something to leave in the mailbox for the mail carrier, or send to school for the teacher, janitor, or lunch lady. While we’re experiencing a little break in the price for gasoline, no such luck in the realm of groceries and other sundries….

No Snow Here!
Some of you are still experiencing snow. I can’t even imagine that. And I certainly wouldn’t want to make you feel worse . . . but look what Termite and I discovered while we stacked some wood behind the shed today . . . Wild berries intertwined with purple vetch. Now, the question is, did…

Ok, let's change the subject. May I have your permission to be proud?
See this? Guess who has an article on Page 8? Here’s a quote from the website: The Fine Art of Jug Fishin’ Local fisherman practices his art with age-old techniques and a few new innovations.

Hurricane Ike and Coastal Louisiana
I’m not sure if you, my friends and readers, have access to cable TV, or satellite TV, or the weather channel, but I’m sure you have access to weather websites. This image comes from Weather Underground, where you can visit and click on a box to see anything about this storm you’d like to see. …

Have to disqualify myself from this one. I’ve got two myself. I hung one on the wall. I’ve also purchased this same item as a wedding gift for several fishermen and women.
Yep, I coulda guesses that! I haven’t used this one yet, so tell me, does the cornbread come out looking like fish?
That is a cast-iron cornbread pan, to make fishy cornbread! So kitschy! And so southern! I love it!
Isn’t it just the cutest thing? My friend from Mississippi came down last week and gave it to me as a “camp warming” gift!
BW your readers are just too smart to pull one over on!
By the way, thanks for letting me stay at Camp Dularge this weekend. I enjoyed the visit and the fun! You’ll soon be booked up with fisher men and women! What fun!
P.S. You might want to post a pic of that huge ‘gator we saw on our adventures for everyone to see.
You are very welcome! It was great having you! I thought the pics would go along with the “joint” sister post we’re supposed to write???
BW, the fish do come out shaped like a fish. Don’t expect to see all the details though. Just make sure to “season” that cast iron GOOD, even if it’s already pre-seasoned. When you fill the fish be careful not to over fill them. It’s much easier to remove the baked fish.
I love cast iron pans… anyone seen a pumpkin one?
