thing is (and I am in Texas) people use it toooo much where it has this nasty aftertaste in your mouth. So most of
the time, I stay clear of it. Only a few times have I tasted salsa or other dishes where it was used in moderation
and was really tasty. But that is rare.
To Die For Frozen
Dessert:
You will need:
A box of chocolate ice cream sandwiches with vanilla ice cream in the
middle
1 bowl Cool-Whip
caramel sundae topping
chocolate sundae topping
Kahlua
Heath toffee
bits
chopped, toasted pecans
Put a single layer (12) of the ice cream sandwiches in the bottom of a
casserole dish. Drizzle a third to one-half a cup of Kahlua over the sandwiches. Liberally drizzle both the caramel
and chocolate sundae toppings. Pour on half a bag of Heath toffee bits. Add a single layer of Cool Whip over the
Kahlua (use the whole bowl if you can). Top with toasted pecans.
Pop in the freezer for an hour or so, then
serve.
Edited because I forgot the toffee bits and because I put the Cool Whip out of order.

Sounds good, I'llOriginally Posted by Sexyredhead
have to try that.
Just got this recipe a
couple weeks ago. It's pretty good.
Crawfish or Shrimp Ettouffee:
Melt 12 Tablespoons Butter in a large
saucepan.
Add 1/3 cup flour and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until light brown.
Add:
2 finely
chopped large Onions
1 Finely chopped Bell Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
5-6 minced Garlic cloves.
Cook over
medium heat until veggies are cooked and lightly browned.
Add:
2 pounds peeled, deviened Shrimp (40-50 count)
or 2 ponds cleaned Crawfish Tails
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
2-3 Tablespoons Cajun Seasoning.
Enough Water to
cover.
Bring to a slow boil and simmer covered about 30 minutes. If you plan to store to reheat later, thicken
with some cornstarch dissolved in water to retain consistancy.
Just before serving add 1/4 cup chopped green
onions.
Serve over rice.
PS: I finally got a sourdough starter that's been in use for about 10 years. My
first batch of bread is rising right now.
That looks delicious. I have never
tried crawfish. After watching my friends put on a show with their little bodies at Sandles Resort, I just can't
bring myself to try one.
Try it with shrimp. Crawfish is delicious but IOriginally Posted by Elana
understand the problem. Just buy the cleaned tails.

shellfish raw. Boil it all in Zatarain's Crab Boil. And use green onions instead of yellow or white onions, and add
some celery (Green onions, bell pepper, and celery are call Holy Trinity. Nobody cooks without 'em.) Same with the
seasoning. Buy Zatarain's. That's what people in Lousiana use. Or, if you're feeling lazy, just pick up a box of
Zatarain's Etouffe. You can just add the shrimp, crawdads, chicken, pork, or whatever kind of mean you want. It's
really very good, the seasonings are absolutely authentic, and you can use it as a very good yardstick for working
from scratch. Damn. Now I'm hungry.

recipe calls for the shellfish to be raw when you add it to the pan. I use Zatarains but didn't know of it was
available to everybody so didn't specify. The green onions, if used in the begining, would completely disolve,
that's why you only add green at the end. Now that I've worked with it a couple times I will experiment to see if
I can make it better but this way is pretty good.
You can also find the
Zatarain's products up here in New England at some supermarkets. I really like their ready to make pack of pasta
shells - can't recall now what it's billed as but I sure do love it (it's been a while too since I've had it and
now I'm thinking, might be good to get some today). It's a bit more spicy I think than some of their other
products and that suits me just fine.
I never saw it in California.
Just since moving to Texas. But you had to hunt to find okra or grits there too.

I have a craving for Thai food
tonight, but there's no Thai food for HOURS around here.
Any good recipes for willow noodles in peanut
sauce?

Why don't you get a Pad Thai frozen
custard concrete?
Do you guys have "Taste of Thai" in Mississippi? If not you should order some from online.
It is so authentic and so easy to use. They also have some fantastic recipes on their site.
