The Lost Bayou Ramblers at Festival Acadiens
With Festival Acadiens et Creole only 4 days away, I'd like to give ya'll a little preview of The Lost Bayou Ramblers, one of my favorite bands that will be playing again, at this year's festival. (October 9-11) This video was taken a few years ago, but really captures the highly seasoned spirit of the Cajun music and people. Let the good times roll, cher!!! Crank it up, ya'll!

I also love anything pumpkin related...to me, that is when Fall is best.
Stock up now, because I heard the cost of pumpkin will be going through the roof!!
I'm so in love with pumpkins! Thanks for the tasty recipe. I actually posted some new ones on my blog this weekend too. I've been baking and cooking what's left in the cupboards before the move. I'm so glad you're enjoying these great fall festivals. I'll live vicariously through you for now!
Sounds like you had a good morning for baking. Definitely the time of year for pumpkins, and is there anything better than those sweet baking aromas filling the house? Enjoy!
great recipe, and you post the most fun things...
This rainy day in Texas had me washing windows, if you can believe that. Covered from the storm, washed the last one. Figure I'm good for a couple years.
Pumpkin Muffins sound most appropriate for this time of year. I can smell the cinnamon and cloves.
That is something really nice! Pumpkins....I love them...
I love pumpkin soup, and I'm a weirdo, I like pumpkin cheesecake but not pumpkin pie! I make pumpkin pie for everyone else, but the cheesecake's what I like. Your muffins look wonderful That's one of the great things about the cooler weather, we can fire up the ovens!
I love pumpkin pie! The muffins look great too. Will have to make them when the grands come.
P.S. Cajuns sure do love their music! That video had me stompin' my feet! We are headed to N.O. next weekend to see B.'s sister and family!
Lovin' pumpkin everything, huh? Yep, I've had pumpkin cheesecake and it was/is awesome! I found a recipe a couple years back for a small (and easy -a prerequisite to my cooking, always) pumpkin cheesecake. Made this particular item one time and be darned if I've been able to locate the cookbook in which that recipe resides! Now that is a total bummer, ya know!
Marlene- You are right! Thanks for the heads up, cher.
Mandy- You're welcome and I love your pumpkin recipes, too. So glad you enjoy hearing about the festivals. Stay tuned!
Joanne- I love to bake when it rains. The aroma is the best part about baking, besides eating, of course.

Midlife- Glad you're done with that window job. That's reason to celebrate! Cheers!
Marguerite - I posted something the other day but it went into hyperspace - it was just that I would dearly love a pumpkin muffin but my main reason for the visit was to see you and whisper gently in your ear you all the nice things I am going to say to you in the Wizard of Oz- when I finally get round to writing it!! LOL See you soon, my sweetie!
ANULAL- I love pumpkins, too! Thanks for your nice comment and for stopping by.

Kat- Merci, cher. I hope you make them for the grands. So glad you liked the video. This band can really get you moving!
Jeni- Not to worry, cher, I'll be posting a good recipe for pumpkin cheesecake, soon. It will be good, I can promise you that!
Eddie- Don't worry about the last chapter of Oz, now. I know you are up to your eyeballs in roasts, right now. It's quite a cliff hanger, and I know that it will be fun, when-ever it is published!
Oh boy I love love love that Cajun music, and I bet those muffins are pretty good too!
