Weekend Preview
With gorgeous weather predicted for the weekend in Cajun country, it's guaranteed to be fun, with beaucoup outdoor activities going on. This week's Downtown Alive will feature T.K. Hulin and Smoke, a popular Swamp Pop and rock n' roll band that has been a fave in Acadiana since the 60's, and is still going strong. Here's a little clip that I took of them playing at Ryhthms on the River, in River Ranch. That is my friend Sally, the blonde, dancing in the light pink shirt and white slacks. Geaux Sally, this one's for you, cher!
Hope that ya'll are having a wonderful week! Merci beaucoup for stopping by!

I love using my crock pot too! I have 3 of them and they come in handy for big meals like Thanksgiving. I am for sure going to give this one a try. I have all our children coming this weekend to surprise my husband for his 60th birthday. It has been a lot of years since all 5 children (and spouses and grands) have been here at the same time. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am!!!! You have a great weekend too!

I've never made homemade jambalaya, but I've been wanting to since it turned cold where we live. I've made the prepackaged stuff and my family loves it, but I know this will be unbelievable! Thank you for the recipe; anything I can make in my slow cooker sounds good to me!
Easy to make and Yuuummmmy.
