The Recipe Thread [tm--CajunCook]

Simply put...my Mom was the best Cajun/Creole cook that I've ever known.

Her gumbo recipe was well known in Uptown NOLA at Norby's Restaurant and Bar back in the late 70s/early 80s.

She would also sell gumbo lunch plates at the grain elevator Uptown.
The lines for her gumbo lunch plates were always outrageously long and she never had anything leftover when she was done.

Her crawfish etouffee was top notch as well.

Plus she raised 7 boys after my Dad passed away in 1976.
How she managed to work, cook, clean and raise 7 boys on her own was due to love and the Grace of God!

Miss that woman every single day!
