I knew luckysis was right. I thought I'd give it a shot 😉

@Luckysis : Crawfish Étouffée it is! File it is! So happy I saved and froze all those tails I painstakingly peeled a couple of months ago!

@brightlights
My first job was at Pappadeaux. Can probably still recite the menu.

@LuckysisSo mine really looks like Pappadeaux? Yay, me! It's really kind of like making gumbo...same holy trinity, same roux, except made with butter instead of oil, and the roux is much lighter in color.

@brightlights
Yes it does. Looks great!

It looks delish!!!!

Also made bread pudding with two sauces (no bourbon in the kiddos' sauce) for dessert. My plan all along tonight was to get out of cooking tomorrow night.

@hutch5801 :What is that? I'm a terrible cajun-by-association wife!

@brightlights
Chef!

@brightlights :So there is leftovers....."

Homemade pizza is what I made.

@brightlights I wish I had the patience to make it but I don't. Maybe I should say time?

@brightlights Yummy. Dh (from Algiers, LA) and I went to Atchafalaya Rest. (out of business now) while dating. My fav.

@hutch5801^^^ The recipe doesn't look like it matches your pic. I'ma Google!

We did unstuffed cabbage - ground pork, onion, garlic, tomato, cabbage, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire with brown rice, served with a dollop of sour cream. I wanted something in bowls that we could eat while watching the debate.
