Goofing off is hard work itself Maid M!
You got to exert energy to find the materials you want to goof off with or on.. and the perfect goof off will be a snooze fest!
I do hope your eye will cooperate till after Cookie's.
Jaye, bring the whole gang. You are all welcome. Hey, why can't we have a sistah's RU? Jaye, we could take them all down to New Orleans and ride the street car and eat in an outside cafe. That would be just too cool.
Marion, I'm 9.8 miles from I-12, but when you hit somewhere up the road, it changes to I-10. That's how I go to my sisters. Get to the interstate, take a right and drive hard for 5 hours.

LK, I'm still sniffling away! No complains as the Coricidin truly helps.
That sounds good Sis Debbie.
This year, it's at Cookie's.. and 2011 will be at Judy's.
No plans so far for 2012. Good time now to start saving for a New Orleans bash! Cafe du Monde for breakfast and then after a good walk in the French Quarters, we head to the Central Grocery for a genuine mufaletta!
That mufaletta sounds soooooo gooood. I don't think I have ever had "way down southern cooking". I have no idea what gumbo or jumbalaya is at all. Can someone enlighten me? I've had such a sheltered food experiences.

Gumbo et jambalaya are both Cajun dishes, Barb.
Gumbo is made from cooked roux (flour browned in oil) and stock with any meats you chose. You serve it over some rice.
I like mine with little rice, and lots of 'juice'.
All Louisianans have different gumbo recipes.
My late MIL during Lent, will do an egg gumbo on Fridays.
Then one Friday, she made a green gumbo, using only veges. I didn't ask for a second bowl!!
Jambalaya is a meat and rice concoction cooked over a stove.
Also so many varied recipes.
I like to cook the meat with lots of onions, garlic, celery.. add Tony's seasoning, then add dry rice with either stock or tomato sauce and slowly simmer it till the rice is cooked.
The best jambalaya I've ever tasted was at a wedding in Breaux Bridge. It has browned brisket, cubed potatoes (YES) and like the Cajuns would say.. Ca c'est bon!!!
A place for those sweet interruptions, just to chat, share your day or for some support. Come on in and sit for a spell.
Mutual respect is expected from all.
I am first for the first time in a long, long time. Guess I am the one goofing off today instead of working.
