Les bines blanc – The White Beans
Les bines blanc is bayou speak for the white beans. Any bayou cook worth her salt can cook up a pot of savory white beans to go along with just about any main item. These are not just any white beans, though. These are the kind my mother-in-law makes and I have yet to find…

It seems like yesterday . . .
that my daughter was born. In 1982 there weren’t many women having “natural” childbirth. Even though I wasn’t taking any drugs for the pain, I still had to birth her on a cold, hard, surgical table. Birthing Rooms or Labor/Delivery/Recovery Rooms weren’t thought of yet. In spite of that, it was a great experience. They…

Will someone please name this spider for me?
I would like to know what kind of spider resides between the “honeysuckle gate” and my swing. Since I’m pretty lazy, could one of you please tell me what this is called? And whether or not it’s poisonous? There just might be something in it for you, too. However, since I don’t want to have…

La Toussaint, along with Le Jour des Morte, or All Souls Day, are not traditions with which I was familiar when I moved to bayou country back in 1978. Even now, because I’m not Catholic, I had to ask my Catholic friends questions about their origin and meaning.
Wow! Those LA boots are great! I can so see you scooting around a sawdust-covered floor in those boots.
I know, huh? I love the pelicans! Just too cool.
Okay, you’ve had more time on your hands today than I have. This post should be on my blog – or are you going to take lessons, too????
Lessons? Nah. I’ve been practicing in the kitchen with Miah! He’s the only one who’ll dance with me! I made this post for you actually! I can only dream of Lucchese boots, unless I hock my boat!
Haha, man, check out those boots! I’ve never seen anything like ’em! Wow. Whoever owns those must be the talk of the town.
Rocky, if I had those boots, I’d dance to your music in them! Do you dance?
