I can't believe what my Mother did yesterday . We had our Franksgiving celebration last night and she made a Pork Roast as usual(not a big fan of turkey) . I love her Pork Roast , she stuffs it with garlic ,onions , jalapenoes, and spices , fries it and then bakes it before frying it a little more . It makes the best gravy. She didn't do that this time , she put a sausage in the middle instead of stuffing it . I couldn't believe it . She said she saw Emeral do it . I told her that Emeral couldn't wash her dishes . He should be pleading with her for her recipes , he's a hack with a big mouth. He isn't even from the south , how can he possibly know how to cook?
My Mother is 81 and has been cooking since she was 9 years old , as Cajun as it gets .We ate rice at least 6 days a week growing up. She has forgotten more about cooking than this clown will ever know. He ruined my Franksgiving by talking her into that awful idea . She promised to never watch his show again. Nothing takes the place of stuffing a roast with garlic and onions.UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
She is still the greatest though .

:rotflmao:
You're crazy, LOL!! Now, what the hell is Franksgiving?

 

[sitarro]

It's Thanksgiving celebrated on Friday instead of Thursday . My brothers were all working Thursday so we had to do it on Friday . :cof:
It all makes sense.

 

[UsaPride]

LMAO!! Well, there you go. That would be a good reason, LOL!!

 

[Mr. P]

Emeral..who? Oh wait ..that's the guy that puts his name on fryin pans an stuff..Never mind..

He is as bad as Paul Prudhomme , in all of my life I had never heard of blackened anything until Prudhomme made it up .I am from Lafayette ,Louisiana , that is smack in the middle of Cajun country . Paul Prudhomme isn't Cajun , the marketers think they can put paprika on something and call it Cajun. It's criminal I tell you! :cof:

I've never eaten anything blackened (well, unless I cooked it, LOL) but I swear I serve alot of blackened fish at the rest. Maybe I should try it before I critisize it but it sure doesn't look tasty to me, looks burnt (kinda like when I cook, LOL).

Okay chat buddies, everyone say a little Prayer for me!!! I'm off tonight but I'm on first call. I have to call in a few minutes and if someone called in sick, I have to go in. I have a horrible headache and I'm soooooo tired, I don't wanna go in.
Okay, start Praying!!!

 

[sitarro]

I haven't tasted it either , that's the point , how can it be Cajun if a Cajun hasn't ever heard of it ? Justin Wilson was a great cook , he stared the fried turkey thing . I remember as a kid , my parents had his comedy albums , he was a standup Cajun comedian . He used to talk about those Yankees way up north , up around Shreveport. Louisiana is a strange place , it's like two different states . South Louisiana is basically Catholic , partying , drinking , dancing , any reason for a good time . North Louisiana is predominately Southern Baptist ,the opposite of the south part of the state .

Hey USA ,
I've never been to North Carolina but all of the pictures I have seen sure make it look real puuurty. The closest I've gotten was Savannah . I saw an ad for Christmas trees the other day and it was from NC. . . beautiful .

A place opened near here not to many years ago called Pyroh's (pronounced pe-row), the first Cajun place anywhere in our area. I had never had Cajun food at the time and neither had the woman I was dating, so we were looking forward to giving it a try. We should have known they were more style over substance after seeing the big, fancy building. I ordered blackened chicken with fettuccini alfredo and she ordered some kind of eggplant dish. We also got alligator tail for an appetizer.

The alligator tail was okay, but a bit of a let down. I don't know what we were expecting, but it just seemed a bit bland. My chicken was dry and tasteless, and her eggplant can't be described. The eggplant came with some kind of sauce that was just not meant for human consumption. Awful. I put my plate of fettuccini in the middle of the table and we both ate off of it. So, essentially, I paid $50 for a plate of fettuccini alfredo. As big a plate as it was, not really worth it considering I could have taken her, her three kids, and myself out for a burger and a movie for that amount of money. I will say that neither of us talked to anyone that had anything good to say about that place.

Since then, I no longer date that woman, though we have remained good friends. I have been to Lousiana and had real Cajun food, which I liked quite a bit. Pyroh's is now a Mexican Restaurant called Three Amigo's.

Well, Nothin' could be finer than to be in Carolina!!
We have the mountains in the West, the ocean in the East and me in the middle Actually I'm more to the east, but still, LOL!!
I drove to Savannah a couple of times last year, took me 4 hours from my house.
When I lived in Illinois, everytime someone asked me where I was from and I told them they would say how beautiful it is. Well, there was this one man, OMG!! I was an Apprentice Optician and I was helping this man so much. We were getting along, laughing, talking. Finally he asked where I was from and I told him. He told me, "Oh God, I hate North Carolina. It's filled with ignorant hillbillies. I had to drive through there to get to Florida and couldn't wait to get through. It's horrible". I mean he just went on and on. I ended up going into the back and having an anxiety attack. Not that he didn't like NC, but this is my home. And especially you talking about the people here, that's MY family. You know. Hateful ass!!!
Anyway, thank you LOL!
And where are you?

I don't know why I find that so funny, but I did, LOL!!

If you ever try it, don't go to a place called Pyroh's. It shut down after about 6 weeks, but it took three years for anybody to move anything into that building. A really fancy building with "low milage" just sitting there empty, mostly because they were probably asking a lot for it, but also because of the stench of failure that boiled from that place.

 

[UsaPride]

We have a place like that here. Really nice, fancy shmancy place. It's beautiful and sits on a lake. There food wasn't too good and I'm sure the prices were enormous. I only went there once for a wedding reception. It closed down after only being open maybe a year. It's been an empty building for about 4 years now. I would love to have it for my house.
