My but you girls from Marylandians do love your crab cakes...and they're yummy to be sure...

Y'all are always welcome at my picnic table out back that's piled high with steamy and spicy crawfish complete with corn, onions, and whole garlics from the pot...dig in...

I'll put some beer on ice to wash 'em down...thanks for the welcome!

gator

hope you are enjoying your day. Thanks so much for the gumbo - I love the it. I had a client from New Orleans that gave me my first taste of the sausage from the market, and we also have a 'heaven on Seven' that features it in town. Sorry, not the mymare you are thinking of but a new one to add to your collection I just took out a batch of brownies - have a good one, enjoy Mary

Gator, welcome. Why don't you get somebody named Bobby to thumb a diesel down....Janis Joplin says that happens just before it rains.

I'll do that right after I trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday, Ian...lol...BTW 'I'm the number one fan of a man from Tennessee' (married him). Being from Boston you know all the lines to that one by DA Coe...lol

Gator, I come bearing gifts that made Philadelphia famous....cheesesteak sandwiches, Franks Orange soda, Tastycakes, and scrapple. Of course, one of my faves is good old jambalaya, but coming from La., you get plenty of that. Now I could sure enjoy some of those crabs, and crab cakes too...not being greedy here, you can hold the beer...I'd rather have a little wine please. Thank you so much. Hope you stop by, my welcome mat is always there.

Thanks for the marvelous house warmers...My specialty is my Gumbo (more of a cool weather treat), chock full of chicken, sausage, shrimp and crawfish (my kids won't eat it if I add the oysters)...ladle that over a bowl of fluffy Zatarain rice, sprinkle a pinch of filet over the top and Voila! You come on down between November and April and I'll sit you down to a steaming bowl!

As far as crabs are concerned...been here most of my life and STILL prefer our crawfish to our crabs!!!

Gator, Thanks for the visit...next time you come by please leave me with the recipe for your gumbo, with and w/o the oysters....I love LA cooking, and the craw fish too. How are things there now since the influx of folks due to the hurricanes...are people staying in Baton Rouge, or are many going back to New Orleans?

mmmm Spicy crawfish! that's really tasty. I've gone out back and put some of my hubby's peach wine (only a little sweet) to go with your crab cakes and crawfish, also brought some banana nut bread. Come and visit my place some time when you have a chance.

Peach wine you say? YUM! We have a specialty down here that can be earth moving! Strawberry wine...since Ponchatoula, LA has strawberries, strawberries, strawberries and their world famous Strawberry Festival...you can run across some of the best in the world!!! I'll have to get out a bottle and add it to the table...thanks for your contribution...sounds Peachy! And I LOVE banana nut bread!

Gator, thanks for the visit and your generosity in leaving the full recipe for your gumbo..oftimes folks leave just a little something out so that the dish when made is good, but still different from the original, but you reposted to add the final touch. I appreciate that! When the weather cools off, I'll try my hand and give it a go!

hi gator. don't think i've visited your page yet. here's some flowers, bubbly, some hot sauce that's bottled down the road a piece, som mudbugs, and blue crab.

i noticed in today's posts that the hot weather has come to LA. i say hooray for that. not that i like the 100 degrees and 90+ humidity, but that just comes after the mild temperate winter. that part i love. if i never see the dreaded white stuff again, that'd be fine. i'd rather spend $$ on AC than heat.

Hi Gator. I'm obviously late in welcoming you to your own page, but better late then never as they say. I have a tradition of leaving a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry from Ottawa as a page warmimg gift, so I hope you like sweet pastry. Enjoy!

Thanks for the pastry, as well as the welcome, Greg!!! I do ADORE sweets...

'Hope all is well up in Canada...never been there, but would love to drive up that way one day. My daughter goes up there every Christmas (her husband's company is headquartered in Buffalo and the exec's get to 'holiday' at a spa up there...) BRRRR!! I keep telling her she's going to have to make them change that to a warmer time of year lol...thanks again!

Hi Gator,How are things besides hot and muggy? Hope all is well. I was just thinking that I enjoyed your gumbo so much and wondered if you would mind putting it on the recipe page for all who may be interested could find it. I did enjoy...very much, and as I said...I like it with the oysters.

Gday Gator, sorry its taken so long to visit. I've brought you a bottle of bubbly, a plate of nibblies and an invitation to spend some time over at my page. Take a look around the garden, find yourself a seat in the sun and meet my family. Love to see you there.

Hi Gator, thanks for the gumbo. Haven't had that for twenty years 'ceptin yours was better. Could you put the recipe for that on the recipe page please?
Just dropping in to answer the query you left on the photo of my house. The city of Melbourne is a coastal city, but we live in the mountain range that skirts the east side of the city. We are about an hours drive to the nearest beach. The side of the house you can see is elevated because of the slope of the land. At the highest point off the ground, it is on ten foot high pylons. The other side of the house is level with the ground.

hey Gator. haven't stopped by for a while and wondered how you are. for sure, it's hot, hot, hot. this heat index makes it muggy. i still love it - it's just what makes the winters so mild and that is a great thing.(i'm very fortunate that i don't have to go out in this and i can stay in the AC lol)

Dear Gator,
Bravo for Hud!!! He sounds like a knight in shiny armour. And you're a lucky princess to have him. I'm sorry that I am soooo late in welcoming you to the sudoku family.
Here's a , and a for you and Hud and a lovely for you>

Gday Gator, haven't seen you around much lately. I hope this note finds you and yours well.
Pop into easy page sometime and say gday.

Just saw your comment on easy about your Daddy's home and the fires. I am so pleased all is safe and well.
We live in a fire prone area and today was one of those scary, windy days and yet, as we drove around, we still saw that people were having burn-offs on their blocks! Don't they realise that it takes no time at all for an ember to start a forest fire?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Gator!

Gator, just stopping by to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hello Gator - I am stopping by to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. I have left a bouquet of Fall colored flowers on your table for you!
