Mardi Gras is nearly here! Let the good times roll! Makes me want to cook and entertain friends. I started with Red Beans and Rice for my son's family watch party last night:

I had a client who was a good old boy from the bayou and he sent us a Randazzo cake the year we did a bunch of work for him. Good times

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that your secret ingredient is cinnamon. I learned that from a friend that makes the best Texas style chili. He told me to add it to anything that has cayenne pepper in the recipe. Half of the amount of pepper added. Ex: add 1/2 tb for every tb of pepper. I've been doing it ever since. Works on rubs as well.

With our current weather, and the time of year, I feel that seafood gumbo is called for!!! I make it a few times every winter. Love the stuff!!

Tasso est Cajun pour bacon, n'est-ce pas?

I've seen everything from tasso pork shoulder to tasso ham (i.e. completely different parts of the hog) which leaves me to believe tasso is a smoky, spicy pork preparation. Am I correct?

Mais non. Tasso is cajun cured ham. Bacon is cured pork belly. The recipe calls for tasso, but......
and Andouille; 1/2 & 1/2. I do my Cajun gumbo the same. Bon si bon.

Y'all did see the wink about tasso being French for bacon, didn't y'all?
That being said, one has heard that a TLT makes a good sammich

Next up: Muffulettas, then Cajun gumbo. Then we scream with outstretched arms "'bullions! 'bullions!". Alas, they don't throw doubloons anymore. OK, now some New Orleans Mardi Gras music to get you in the mood. Feel free to add your own:
