I'm old and a loner. I generally don't celebrate any holidays, but this year I decided to make a small roast chicken with oyster stuffing, a broccoli mushroom casserole. and a mashed sweet potato.

I rarely buy beans in a can either but when I want something sweet to go along with a spicy smoked Cajun sausage I go with B&M. I doctor it up a bit, though. For every other recipe that calls for beans I generally make them myself unless I'm desperate.

I'm just doing the chores that I enjoy. I've been to the feed store for 200 lbs. of expensive horse food for my 31 year old mare and laying pellets for the chickens. Then I changed water in the 3 fish tanks in the house. They only need a huge water change once a week but the many of the tanks...

Creole file gumbo with spicy Cajun sausage, lump crab meat and shrimp. It was too good for words but I did go a little overboard on the cayenne.

I finally looked it up. It sounds exactly like what I had in the joint in Mexico. I will put this on my list, for sure. I'm afraid I'll have to make it with chuck roast but I'm sure it will be excellent nonetheless. Thanks so much for pointing me to a recipe that I've been wanting to make...

Thanks. Now I know what to look up.

Which episode did you hear the recipe in. I looked it up Escaramuza is a celibration of female horsemen oops, horse women. Patti's Mexican Kitchen has lots of episodes with different Mexican foods.

Is it wrapped up to be untied upon serving? I used to have something similar in the small Mexican town I lived in in my 20's. They called it Barbacoa but every time I've looked for Barbacoa recipes they are not the same as what I used to have.

I use the Mueller, too.

I hope I'm not required to take a pic. I've never taken pics of food. What I had was typical southern minus the corn bread. I had turnip and mustard greens mixed together because my neighbor who sewed them mixed the seeds together by accident. I simmered them down with a smoked turkey neck...

The freshwater cat's are very mild and tender. They can replace any white fish. They are farm raised down here, but I've fished for them on a fresh water lake and they are even better. Don't try a salt water catfish. They taste horrible. I know from experience.

There is simply no decent pizza place in my neck of the woods. When I lived in NY and north Jersey there was always a great Pizza place. Folks around here simply enjoy only the normal southern fare. I finally decided that Red Barron pizza is the best of the bunch. I add more decent sauce...

I live in beef country. Lamb costs an arm and a leg. That should not be the case. Sheep are so much easier than cattle to raise. It's just the way it is. But heck, all meat including beef are almost too expensive to buy. I eat a lot of chicken, pork, and our Mississippi catfish.

I have all the ingredients on hand. I will make this soon. I think I'll go for the coconut one first. The Argentine large red shrimp have a very strong shrimp favor that needs mellowing with a bit of sweetness.

I'd contact Lodge or take it back from where you bought it. This sounds like it could be dangerous like from an internal flaw in the cast iron or something.
