And this is where we came from: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/905576/

Well, my ex is supposed to pay us a visit next month. Plans went awry as the plane fare just double!! So, Kel won't be getting tasso, andouille, cracklins and boudin as promised.

You Might Be a Cajun If...
...you sit down to eat boiled crawfish and your host says "don't eat the
dead ones" and you know what he means.

...you keep newspapers not for recycling but for tablecloths at crawfish
boils.

...you are not alarmed at finding plastic dolls in your pastry.

...you bring your Community Coffee and coffee maker with you when you
travel.

...every so often, you have waterfront property.

...when tailgating, you holler "Tiger Bait" at the other team's fans as they pass by.

...you don't worry when you see ships riding higher in the river than the
top of your house.

...when you're in Baton Rouge, you know the difference between the old
bridge & the new bridge.

...you offer somebody a "coke" and then ask them what kind: Coke, orange, rootbeer, etc.

...you were in high school before you realized that Catholic and Public were not the two major religions.

...you think there are eight seasons: duck, rabbit, deer, squirrel,
football, basketball, baseball, and festival and that 7 out of the 8 are
during the "hot spell".

...you plan your wedding around hunting season & LSU football.

...you pass up a trip abroad to go to the Crawfish Festival in Breaux
Bridge.

...you take a bite of 5-alarm Texas chili and reach for the Tabasco.

...you gave up Tabasco for lent.

...you know the difference between Zatarains, Zeringue, and zydeco.

...you know that the best doughnuts are square and have no holes.

...you put "Tony's" on everything, including popcorn.

...your last name isn't pronounced the way it's spelled.

...no matter where else you go in the world, you are always disappointed in the food.

...you understand it when someone describes their favorite color as LSU Purple.

...you normally refer to that shade of yellow as LSU Gold.

CUTE... guess I'm not a cajun.

Yea, it's been a couple days of watching paint dry.. but it's different coats of paint that I keep watching. Now, I'm watching glue dry too. Having a blast with this project... hope my bird feeder buddy likes it.

BJ, I got mine halfway made. Don't know whether I'll mail that out, found something online that's more my buddy would like.
Ah.. decisions

I wish I was Cajun. Sounds like fun!

You're not too far from Cajun country, Deborah. About 8 hours maybe? You'll enjoy the people and the culture.
I think I'm more Cajun than Asian :D

I've definately got the Cajun accent daawlin' (did I spell that right?) and the iron stomach!

Yep... you could pass for one! Just start with, Meh Shah, at the beginning of your sentences, and you'll get them fooled!

Cyanide

Boudreaux comes into a pharmacy and asks for some Cyanide. Mr. Broussard the
pharmacist, trying to keep a professional posture, asked what he wanted it for.
Broudreaux answered, "I gots to kill my wife, Odell."
"I'm sorry Boudreaux," Mr. Broussard replied, "but under those circumstances I can't sell you any Cyanide."
Boudreaux reaches into his wallet and produces a photo of Odell,
perhaps the ugliest, meanest looking woman Mr. Broussard had ever seen.
The pharmacist blushes and replies, "I am sorry, Boudreaux... I didn't
realize you had a prescription."

Larry should like that one Deborah.
Ok.. here's another.. whoever needs cheering up out there, hope you're laughing!!

Boudreaux And The Minister

A minister was seated next to Boudreaux on a flight to Texas. After
the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. Boudreaux asked for a
shot of bourbon, which was brought and placed before him.

The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a
drink. He replied in disgust........., "I'd rather be savagely raped by
brazen whores than let liquor touch my lips."

Boudreaux then handed his drink back to the attendant and said,
"Me too, sha. Boudreaux don't know he had a choice."

Boudreaux and Thibodeaux jokes are somewhat like your Texas Aggie jokes.
Just these two are central characters in most of your Cajun jokes..laced with Cajun speech, it's charming.


Coach Boudreaux

The coaches in St. Landry parish went to a coach's retreat and to save
money they had to room together. No one wanted to room with coach Boudreaux because he snores so bad. They decide it's not fair to make one of dem stay wit him the whole time so they vote to take turns. Coach Fontenot sleeps wit him and he come to breakfast next morning hair a mess, eyes all blood shot.
They say, "Man, what happen to you?" He say, "Man, that Boudreaux snore so loud, I watch him all night."
Next night coach Guidry's turn. In the morning, same thing - hair all standing up, eyes all blood shot.
They say, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful!"
He say, "Man, no, that Boudreaux shake the roof. I watched him all night."
Third night, coach Doucet turn. Next morning he come to breakfast bright eyed and bushy tailed.
"Good morning you all." They can't believe! They say, "Man, what
happened?"

He say, "Well, we get ready for bed. I go and tuck Boudreaux into bed and kiss him good night. He watch me all night long."

The Lottery refund!
Boudreaux won $10 million in the Louisiana lottery last week. Bright and early the next morning, he got in his Country Cadillac, and drove all the way to Baton Rouge to collect his money. When he walked in, he told the lottery man, "Hey, I'm Boudreaux, the lottery winner, and I'm here to collect my money!"

The lottery man said, "Well, Mr. Boudreaux, it doesn't work like that. You can't have the whole amount at one time, but we will pay you half a million a year for the next twenty years."

Boudreaux, upset, told the man, "Mais, no, sha, I won the lottery and I want all my money right now. I don' want to wait for twenty years to get it !"

The man tried to calm Boudreaux down, telling him that's how the lottery works.

Boudreaux, really angry now, said, "Mais, if dats de way y'all wanta be, jus' never mind! Here's your ticket --- gimme my dollar back!"

This is for all of you "Wonderful" ladies I've had the pleasure of chatting with.
Cindy



GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE


When I was little,
I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,
And then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,
God would show you the best in many friends.


One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.
Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'
Another, 'Let's fight together,' Another, 'Let's walk away together.'


One friend will meet your spiritual need,
Another your shoe fetish,
Another your love for movies,
Another will be with you in your season of confusion,
Another will be your clarifier, Another the wind beneath your wings.


But whatever their assignment in your life,
On whatever the occasion,
On whatever the day,
Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,
Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself ..
Those are your best friends.


It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several...
One from 7th grade,
One from high school,
Several from the college years,
a couple from old jobs,
On some days your mother,
On some days your neighbor,
On others, your sisters,
And on some days, your daughters.

So whether they've been your friend for 20 minutes or 20 years,
AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO,
Pass this on to the women that God has placed in your life
To make a difference.

(((((((((Cindy))))))))))))

You ain't my friend.. you're my sistah ;)

Dat da troof, Jaye. Sistahs be bestest friends.

Was was that man's name that made album years ago? He was cajun and told funny stories. Was it Jerry something?

Ahh that man from Mississippi wit a tik accent... Jerry Clower..
and he talked of his cuzins the Ledbetters?

That's him! What was that saying he was know for? 'Haw now' or sump'n like that.

I thank each and everyone for all the laughs provided. Cindy that was just down right sweet!!! Funny how we all have met through a computer and a love of gardening but there is just a serious common bond that holds us together as Sistahs!! I feel so lucky!!!

Debra, oh yes, I still talk to my sweetie and I feel he hears me!! He may not be visiable, or I might not can hold his hand but I see him very clearly and know he is close by me.

Oh boy, tonight my favorite crusty television show is one: House!!! Where is he when we are sick and need a really good doctor. Thursday, well, won't be here for sure with McDreamy returning to the boob tube!! LOL

I miss Joey!!!

Oh boy have you all been chatty today.

Bj, glad to hear your toes are doing better, but dang, no sympathy from hubby sucks!

Cindy, love the girls in my circle. So touching.

Kathy, will the night vision goggles help you find the purple and green stripe smaples or the snipes??? LOL

Later
Linda Kay

Loved Jerry Clower! And the coon hunting trip: "Shoot amongst us one of us gotta had some relief!" and the flood, sitting on the roof, "The Lord's gotta take care of me"
And the chef Justin Wilson.....
And Lewis Grizzard of Moreland Ga.
And our own PaulofAla, currently remodeling his house right now, but promises to be back!

Well hello Deborah. You rest last night? I agree with the coon hunting trip--still laugh thinking about that story. Funny thing is it is so accurate!!!

LK, we'll be more chatty if we don't have problems with DG site.
By the way, how's that foot doing?
Yes Marion, I bet Ross is worrying less about you now, since we've found you! And yes, we sure miss Joey. Hope she joins us soon, especially before the next Project Runway :P
Debra, you would love Joey's wits and of course her Tex-Cajun charm. I think Jerry is from Picayune, Ms but has ties in Yahtzoo too?
Maybe that accounts for the Cajun accent.. Picayune is just on the other side of the river. Haaawwrgh!!!
I can't believe I'm cooking today! Help..I'm not myself lately!

Lol, Deborah!!!
Got vinyls of Jerry, one day I'll listen to them again. Kel loves him too..

Whatcha cooking? I am in a quandry as to what I want tonight. Kim got home from her workshop early so we can eat earlier today!!

Did you see where there is another distrubance in the Atlantic? This one I think will go away from us toward the north more.

Dave having connection problems--is that why I kept getting kicked off yesterday? Finally gave up as it wouldn't load!! Upsetting to say the least.

Home made hamburger helper!!

Browned grind meat with onions. 1 can of tomato sauce. Some beef stock. Add your macaroni and veges. Towards the end of your cooking i.e. when macaroni's tender, add some carnation evaporated milk. Simmer real low for 5 minutes. Turn off, then let it steam some more before serving.
Milk won't curdle this way. I was out of sourcream :D

OH LADIES!!!!

I just received the most wonderful news from my disability lawyer. I've been approved for SSD. I was soooooooooooo happy to hear this and it only took 4 months. Looks like I may be buying that piece of property sooner than I thought!!!!

Hi, HI..

Running through...woohoo, actually had a good busy, day at the office!!

BJ, may I ask what you are creating that your watching paint and glue dry?

Last night, had to behave and not go on computer. LOL, so good thing you all had problems, otherwise i'd still be reading, ROFLOL. Glad you are all back and chatting up a storm.

Cindy, that is such a nice reading about friends. so true too.

Hi Marion, so glad the comotion going the other way! Give you a break.
i am still clearing away from the weather. I dunno, think I gave up on the season while ago...But I am so very proud to have grown a single Carrot Pepper!! it isn't turning orange yet so I guess its still growing?? but it hasn't gotten any bigger either.
LOL that is the extent of my harvest.

Jaye, what you cooking? DH is making Brats tonight, yum haven't grilled for a while
sooo, looking forward to that.

Just wanted to say hello, you all have a good evening, sigh got to be good again tonight.

Ha ha Funny Judy!!
Yep, it's like reaching for that caffeine that's out of your reach.... this is not fun.. can't visit as smoothly as I want to!
Thanks for your short stay, Judy :P
Amen Cindy!!! I believe in prayers, and I know you've been calling His name!!
Ok, next we want to see pics of that property!

Mrs. Boudreaux went to the local newspaper and said she wanted to put in the obituary column that Boudreaux had died. They told her it would be $1.00 per word. She said, "Here's $2.00 - put in dere dat BOUDREAUX DIED. They said, "Mrs. Boudreaux, surely you want more dan dat." She said, "Mais, no, just Boudreaux died." The editor said, "Well, you're a little upset. Bring yourself back tomorrow and you will probably tink of somethin else." She came back the next day, and said, "Yeh, I taught of somethin else --- BOAT FOR SALE."

I think I'll keep entertaining myself.. since DG is still giving problems.

One day Thibodeaux went up to Boudreaux. "You know Boudreaux, I think somethin' wrong wit me."
Boudreaux said, "Mais, Thibodeaux, tell me what's your problem.?"

"Well, Boudreaux," Thibodeaux said. "My whole body is in pain. Everywhere I press on my body it hurts."

"Thibodeaux, I think I know what's wrong with you." Boudreaux replied.

"Tell me Boudreaux, what could it be?"

"Thibodeaux, you need to see the doctor because your finger's broken."

I'm BAAAACCCKKK.... had to go to town and pay my speeding ticket and sign up for Defensive Driving... *sigh*... what an ordeal...

Poor Boudreaux, he's just a pitiful old guy...

Judy, I can't tell you what I'm building .... my sistah in the bird feeder swap might be reading this, and I don't want to blow it... but, the last coat of paint went on today... so, it'll probably be ready to mail tomorrow, or the next.

Defensive driving? Wow..never heard of that here.

Ummm... you can't take Defensive Driving to keep it off your driving record? Still have to pay the ticket, but DD keeps it off your state record.

It's been more than 25 years since I got a speeding ticket. That wasn't offered to me then. Got to pay the ticket and the record stayed for 3 years.
Got curious and checked online. You know you can also take it online.

Yes... but you have to tell the court that you're going to take it... so they don't file it with the state... now, I have 90 days to do it...

Busy, busy, busy ladies this afternoon. Cindy, that is really good news--I'll celebrate with you tonight--having a bowl of ice cream!! Been a good girl lately and not had any but tonight is my night!! Can't drink a toast so ice cream.

Jaye, that sounds good!! We are having a breakfast pizza with salsa--Kim wanted to cook again. Wahoo--long be from me to stop her!!

Hi Judy, glad you stopped by!!

Debra get all your planting done today?

Congrats, Cindy!!!! So often it takes more than one try to get the approval. You did good, girl! My mother had a very rare neurological disorder and, after finally getting a diagnosis, her neuro doctor told her to resign from work and apply for disability ASAP because it can take a while. She did that, and put her house on the market in preparation for moving to an assisted living facility. Thank goodness they didn't make her jump through hoops to get approved. She hardly got qualified and got her house sold in time to move before she was no longer mobile. A year later she had to go to a full fleged nursing home - at age 57! Can you imagine? She was there 3 years before she died. She had Mulitiple Systems Atrophy (no one has ever heard of it - it's very similar to Lou Gehrigs but progresses more rapidly).

Bummer, BJ. Is it a one day class?

OMG, I haven't thought of Jus-tone Wil-sone in ages! My DFIL still has the album - we need to listen next time we are there. Jaye, your jokes are cracking me up. Deborah, you have a vast vocabulary and endless supply of colloquealisms (have absolutely no idea how to spell that word). What I'm trying to say is ..... your posts are entertaining and clever.

What do they say about us Southern gals - we don't sweat, we 'glow'? Well, I 'glowed' so much outside today that I'm encrusted in salt. LOL! Morgan was here from 7:30 am to about 3:00pm. I'm exhausted but we got a lot done today. Taking a few minutes to cool off before getting in the tub. Need to soak my sore hip. The dogs play so hard together that they will run into you like you're not even there. They knocked my legs out from under me and I landed on my side. Good thing it happened so fast I didn't have time to try to catch myself or I probably would have broken my wrist. thank goodness I landed on thick sod and not the concrete where they usually bump into me.

Have cooked ribs in the oven warming up. We are still eating the food that thawed during the power outage. If I don't post tomorrow it's because DH and I got botulism or something. No, I think they are ok. They stayed frozen a long time but eventually thawed and have been refrigerated since. Judy, brats sound really good. We used to grill them and cut into bite size pieces for appetizers at the duck club. Served with spicey mustard - yummy!

Well gee already a new room and I only posted a couple times in the last one .....LOL

Beignets are wonderful ...think I'll make some up this weekend sounds yummy and has been awhile


BJ honey if your gonna speed ya gotta watch out for the police cars and be able to slow down real quick so they don't get ya LOL

Debra... it's only 4 hours, I think... haven't taken it for about 10 years...
But, this time, I might take the online course...

OUCH... that's got to hurt when the dogs run you over like that... now, don't get stuck in that tub of hot water, ok? and be sure to add bubbles... and light candles... and have hubby bring you a glass of wine.

It's a long story, Phyllis... but my excuses didn't hold water with the cop... he just didn't have much of a sense of humor.
