A Cajun-Yankee Weekend Blowout !

It was a fabulous, fun weekend, in Cajun Country. I had out of town guests for the weekend, who were ready to sample a little slice of Cajun hopsitality. I had a big pot of Crawfish Etoufee ready, when they arrived. Figured that I'd sock it to em', right off the bat.

 They enjoyed the delectable stew and the homemade Chocolate Mousse Pecan Pie that my daughter made. One bite of this pie and you know that you're addicted for life. Cest bon, cher!

Day 2 was even more fun! I thought that they might enjoy some boiled crabs, so we spent the afternoon boiling and eating some wonderful Louisiana blue crabs and took a nice, refreshing swim in the pool. I discovered that they loved Mexican food, so I suggested that we go out for a Mexican fiesta. 

We went to Tampicos Resturant and I ordered the crab stuffed jalapenos . My companions opted for a grilled shrimp and rice dinner, w/ pico de gallo and grilled veggies. Paired with frozen Margaritas and a few cold beers, it was a most enjoyable meal. After dinner, we went to a little jazz jam at a favorite neighborhood club, and had Frozen Chocolate Martinis for dessert. (to die for)

Day 3 was even more fun! After eating a good breakfast of homemade bisquits, topped with crawfish etouffee, Spanish omelettes, and fried green tomatoes, we all headed out to the Atchafalaya Basin for a little fun on the swamp. It was a beautiful day, with less humidity, and there was a nice breeze. We stopped by a friend's camp on Henderson Lake and took a boat ride on the swamp. By this time, my guests were starting to get the idea. 

But it wasn't until we drove up to Whiskey River Landing for the Sunday afternoon dance, that they really began to understand the true meaning of "lassiez les bon temps rouler". They were quite shocked to see the intensity of the "hot as Tabasco" music and dancing. French Rockin' Boogie took the stage and the packed dance floor really started heating up, with a whole lotta nitty-gritty dancing going on. 

We really packed it in! Cajun hospitality at it's finest! Boy, will they ever have a tale to tell about their Cajun adventures, back on the East coast. So glad you enjoyed it! Happy Trails, till we meet again, my friends! What did you do for fun over the weekend?
