They'll just be jealous! I haven't had good crawdad's in ages. Something from a fish fry or the fais-do-do on Sat. nite.
I wonder if anyone has tried a ceilidh / fais-do-do combo?
[fais-do-do is the cajun version of Sat. night community dance.]

Yes, in a "round-about" way -- my MIL, who taught a class on Cajun culture at one of the local universities (she's a sociology major) spoke to our Scottish society about the history and culture of the Cajuns, and their ties to the Scots and Irish -- we had traditional Cajun food and music, as well as Scottish Country and Cajun dance!
Cheers,

Lived there for 8 years while at LSU. Married a gal from Metarie (suburb of New Orleans). Her folks' house was the only one on their block that did not get flooded.
Looking forward to a crwfish boil soon. We actually order them air-freighted to NC.
You guys think kilts are an addiction...they pale in comparison to a love of Cajun food.
Pass the boudin!

The Cajuns have a legend that crawfish are actually lobsters that followed them south during Le Grand Derangement to Louisiana -- as they travelled south, they shrank!
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
