Serve dat over cooked rice, (De Bes' Rice Recipe Ever) I dun blogged dat one earlier ago sha! with a fresh spinach salad topped with crisp bacon bits, croutons and a salad oil. Dats bout it ma frien' enjoy!

An now, on to de Boudreaux story. Boudreax an Marie, dey been livin' on de bayou a long long time. So you can imagine how suprised I waz when Boudreaux toll me that he jes' found out that Marie waz afraid of water. So I ax Boudreaux how he knowd' dat. He sez de udder day he come home early from work an' found Marie in de bathtub wit de security gaurd! Now I look at ole Boudreux like he dun loss hiz mind. But he sez it's for true. So I ax Boudreaux what he was gonna did bout dat? He sez he gave de security gaurd $20.00 and toll him to come back tomorrow mornin' bout 9:30 am, cause dats when Marie likes to take a shower.
Enjoy, Bon Temp Roullette
