Bayou Segenette State Park - site 1077
Westwego, Louisiana
Another interesting day here in Louisiana. Some of the group drove over the bridge into New Oleans to attend a cooking adventure in the French Quarter.
Momma was with the group who headed for the New Orleans School of Cooking.
on St Louis Street in the French Quarter
The class was a demonstation of cooking and then chowing down on the savory dishes created.
Many of the Louisiana dishes begin with a roux made by cooking butter (or lard) and flour until it turns the the right shade of peanut butter or darker...without burning it, of course. Our corn and crab bisque began with a light colored roux.
While the Chicken Etouffee used a darker roux.
Of course there was lots of shopping to be done before, as well as after the class.
The day drew to a close with a game of Dirty Uno. Would you believe Momma wound up with a fist full of cards at the end of the last hand....from having so many draw 5 jokers presented to her....that she had accumulated 330 points in just that one round? Needless to say, she was the biggest loser of the evening. I told her she should have played toss my inside ball with me instead of cramping her hand with all those cards😏

Chloe, your Momma should have been the instructor. She can cook and bake better than anybody.
