My dad was from Alabama but left there to seek his fortune in the Louisiana oilfields. The story goes that he hopped a freight train during the Great Depression and began his whole life's great adventure. He loved everything about Louisiana but especially the food, the Cajun people and fishing! He loved to cook and I loved to watch him do it. My mother was from Atlanta and my Aunt Anne constantly confirmed that she also was her family's fantastic cook! I loved her divinity fudge, homemade Heavenly Hash and her ever-so-special scratch Chicken & Noodles. The rest of my love of all things Cajun and Creole came from the men who worked for my father on the oil rigs and at the Fishing camp. They loved to show me how to cook authentic Cajun food. I was an adoring and, I believe, also an apt pupil.
