Moonset . . .
There’s only one thing I like better than looking out at the bayou first thing each morning . . . looking out at the moon setting over the bayou. Once again, I really need a tripod. I took this with no flash, holding the shutter open as long as I dared, while backed up against…

Maurepas Swamp, Part 3
The Swamp Next Door: Restoring Maurepas Swamp for Wildlife and Communities Written by Wendy Billiot for Louisiana Wildlife Federation Driving southeast from Baton Rouge on Interstate 10, many people may not realize they are driving through the second-largest contiguous coastal forest in Louisiana–the 140,000-acre Maurepas Swamp. Its southeastern boundary is near where Interstate 55 and…

The "Cypress Swamp" bedroom is finished.
And I am so proud and happy! Please, come on in and take a look. Do you remember what this room looked like before we removed the brown paneling? And then do you recall what it looked like after we removed the brown paneling? Right! We uncovered Pepto-Pink cypress beadboard walls. Oh, and let’s not…

Contest especially for you lurkers out there!
And something for the faithful readers, so you won’t pout! One day last week, there were 1100 views of this blog. I cannot imagine that out of 1100 people, only a handful were brave enough to try the last contest or even comment about how difficult it was! But it’s the truth. In an effort…


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?
