Cajun is from the Acadeans.............who are decendants of the French Canadians. Cajun is a whole different type of food from Southern. Madjack might help me here with some comments about real Cajun Cooking. It's REALLY spicy! If not used to it, one could get hurt!

Cajun cooking refers to a style of cooking from the French Canadians that settled in South Central Louisiana back in the late 1700's...it is a unique style that is local to South Louisiana...it is VERY different to Southern cooking which is basically down home country cooking...most all true Cajun cooking starts with a Roux, which is some flour browned in a little oil...after browning(almost black) the Holy Trinity is added...onions, garlic, celery and bell peppers(I know that's4 but that is another story). After they have turned translucent you add your meat, water for a brown gravy some pepper(s) or add smushed tomatoes for a red gravy(with a lighter roux) let simmer for a couple of hours and serve your whatever over rice...I have left out a couple of secrets so that I won't have the Cajun Cooking Society running me outta town...

I've asked why Chicken Fried Steak is called "Chicken Fried". I was told that it's because you make it the same as you would fried chicken (breaded and fried).

If you've been to a German restaurant and had "Schnitzel" it is almost the same thing, only Schnitzel is often times pork rather than beef.

CFS is very popular around here. I think it is because of the large numbers of German immigrants that came into the area in the mid 1800's. No pork to make Schnitzel? use beef and call it CFS. Sausage is also very popluar around here for the same reason. I don't have any real evidence or research on this, this is just what I'm guessing happened.

One thing I can't figure out is that some people put an "L" in sausage, pronnouncing it "Saul-sage".

Kinda like some people pronounce a drawer, a draw!

With all this talk about beef.....

A young bull and an old bull were standing on a hill overlooking a meadow full of cows.

The young bull says "hey, let's run down there and 'kiss' one of those cows"

The old bull responds "why don't we WALK down there and 'kiss' all of them"

SENIOR HUMOR


A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.

"Is it true," she wanted to know,
"that the medication you prescribed has
to be taken for the rest of my life?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,
"I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition
because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'."
-----------------------------------------
An older Jewish gentleman was on the operating table
awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son,
a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia
he asked to speak to his son.
"Yes, Dad, what is it?" "Don't be nervous, son;
do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well,
if something happens to me,
your mother is going to come
and live with you and your wife."
-----------------------------------------
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you
stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
------------------------------------------
The older we get, the fewer things seem
worth waiting in line for .
------------------------------------------
Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren't paved.
--------------------------------------------

When you are dissatisfied and would
like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

---------------------------------------------
You know you are getting old when everything
either dries up or leaks.
----------------------------------------------
I don't know how I got over the hill
without getting to the top.
----------------------------------------------
One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it is such a nice change from being young.
------------------------------------------ --
Ah, being young is beautiful,
but being old is comfortable.
-----------------------------------------------
Old age is when former classmates are so gray
and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.
----------------------------------------------
If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,
you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
--------------------------------------

First you forget names, then you forget faces.
Then you forget to pull up your zipper.
It's worse when you forget to pull it down.
-------------------------------------------
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground
with sticks, it was called witchcraft.
Today, it's called golf.

A WELL PLANNED LIFE
Two women met for the first time since graduating from high school.
One asked the other, "You were always so organized in school,
Did you manage to live a well planned life? "
'Yes," said her friend.
"My first marriage was to a millionaire;
my second marriage was to an actor;
my third marriage was to a preacher;
and now I'm married to an undertaker."
Her friend asked,
"What do those marriages have to do with a well planned life?"
"One for the money,
two for the show,
three to get ready,
and four to go!
