N'Awleens Jazz is always cool but for this I'm pullin out the BIG GUNS. I be rockin to the Zydeco sounds of BeauSoleil. The best sound in Cajun music that I know of.
 
BeauSoleil you know it, brutha!


Bungle on the Bayou
TB, that's gonna be me~ :lol: ...on a wing and a beer...
 
Paulky's my wing man! :woohoo:




Did we ever get a hint about what meats will be allowed? Only the five originally suggested or anything goes?
 
...exactly what I was wondering.

Too bad it's not going to be next week, since this is going to be a busy one... meeting with a new co-packer Thursday to start getting my salsa packaged, and was going to head to SE Texas Friday to talk to another one about doing my chili mix/rubs.

While there I had planned to pick up some fresh gator meat and live crawfish... haven't made any in awhile, and would be perfect for the TD. :dance:
 
Correct there was no final decision on the meats.

I'll post that up soon so y'alls can shop.
