This year has seen temps all across the US near 100 degrees and, in some places, well over 100 degrees. We rarely reach the 100 degree mark here. But, we stay in the mid-to-high 90s almost all summer, with sweltering humidity. In most cases, I would choose a different variety over another, if...

Yes, my sons do some frogging. But, it's weird, you may catch a hundred frogs one night, go back the following night and be lucky to get 6-7. Frogging is best when it's warm/hot. This is also prime-time for our bigole cottonmouths and alligators. We've never had a real incident with either. Just...

You know what they say "It's not the heat, it's the humidity". As ridiculous as that sounds, the humidity does beat us down! However, tell the folks who's temps have gotten well over 100 degrees FOR WEEKS! Humidity or not, c'est chaud. Come visit soon Lil Brother. I'm tellin ya, the real Cajun...

No one at my son's house had ever eaten King crab in a Louisiana-boil, including me. However, EVERYONE said it was the best King crab they'd ever eaten. Now, just for the record, I believe I could prepare King crab "better" than just boiling them Cajun-style. And, there are guys here who can...

We headed out on the big commercial shrimp-trawler of my son's uncle-in-law. Our goal was to catch enough BIG shrimp for a large crowd of family and friends. There were a few folks from up north, "Shreveport" (just kidding, OH, Pa, and CT) who had never eaten a Louisiana-type boil before. Some...

Ya getting some mileage outta this mouth watering boil Lil Bro! Ya just made it look too delicious!

I was also aware of the name Dulac. My parents spoke only (Cajun) French to us. There are very few left who speak this absolutely beautiful dialect. The Big Jims are definitely worth a shot. That is specifically the pepper that I've been reading about, that some folks are saying, shuts down...

Hey Shane. 50 pages in two nights/mornings! It was worth every minute. You couldn't have possibly imagined this kind of harvests back during seed-starting. Especially after last year. You deserve all of the accolades from YOUR PEERS Brother! When you get a minute, a break in the action, check...

LUCKYDOG; I just read somewhere here about someone being gifted with a couple of "Pimiento de Padrone" plants. He had eaten them on occasion and loved them. Justaguy; Have seed started for skinny James. Been hearing for a couple of years how delicious they are. Can't wait to find out for...

Dulac; That is amazingly stupid that I've spent this much time here and did not know that Scotch Bonnets were less-hot than Habaneros! Do they have a good flavor? Who's got true seeds? The BBQ sauce sounds delicious. Wish you'd list the actual recipe here. You're correct about the great little...

TXCG; Man, thanks for the photos! I was dying to know what they really looked like. The fact that they continue to produce in the heat makes this plant a great choice. Many of our peppers just shut down when the temps and humidity get high down here. Thanks! Capt Poop; I never had a clue as to...

One of our own sent me some pods of Guampinha de Veado. I guess it's a semi-wild? They are the best-tasting snack pepper I've ever had! They make hundreds of peppers and every one will be eaten dried and as a snack. Several of the grandkids eat them also! I will make a hedge of these along the...

Back in the early 80s I worked with a young single guy from Texas. We'd invite him to all of our family gatherings because he was new to this part of the world and didn't know anyone here. He'd always bring something "Texican" to our meals or BBQs. My favorite was the homemade fajitas his...
