I finally made a small batch of homemade Filé Powder, and I can’t believe the difference between the true Filé and the store bought variety. The Filé that I made smells subtle and fruity like coriander seeds, or as my wife said, “Fruit Loops.” It’s color as you can see, is army green, and I’m [...]

Here is a pic of today’s Muffuletta Olive Salad. I’ve had a taste for it recently, but I’m going to use it on something other than a Muffuletta, details to come later today, as soon as I figure out what I’m going to do. By the way, here is my recipe: Muffuletta Olive Salad Recipe [...]

I’ve been working tons of hours lately and my Mom has been sending my wife and I some home cooked meals, which is greatly appreciated! Last night was Beef Stew, and tonight was Meatloaf with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and scratch biscuits; all perfect as usual. I’m kicking myself for not taking a picture of everything, [...]

They were in talks of moving out of “the area.” Here is the latest article from the Times-Picayune, and the thread on the topic at Mr. Lakes Non-Pompous New Orleans Food Forum. It will be [...]
