nightowlh@comcast.net, Throwdown
Yo Gator, I'm a yankee from the Chicago area and I love cajun food, especially jambalaya. You did a great job on throwdown and gave Bobby Flay a lesson on cooking rice. I make jambalaya myself but andouille sausage and tasso are hard to come by up here, can you recommend a place where I can buy the products on the internet and is there a particular brand you prefer.

clj6025@yahoo.com, Question
Yo Gator, The other day my wife had a dish called Shrimp Aurora and raved about it. (It was catered at a Doctor's office that she works in) Is this one of yours and if so which of your sauces did they put on the angel hair. She didn't bring any home for me to sample but she said it had just a hint of tomato and was very light. The caterer had it shipped from Lousiana to her and that was the name she called the dish. Your reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chef-wanna-be White Hall, Ar

baypointe@worldnet.att.net, your web site!!
Yo Gator, really enjoyed visiting - lots of fun - and kind of reminds me of my father - he loved to cook - and really insistent about us making the "roux" - We grew up on Guam (my mother was Guamanian) - Western Pacific Islands, and also grew up on black-eyed peas & ham hocks, jambalaya, and grits - from the New Orleans side and then on sausages from the German side of our family, my grandmother was an Auer (her parents were Casper Auer and Clara Ginenger) - and then of course "island cooking" from my mother's side of the family. What a combination? Anyway - had to visit - especially after I got your message about you being related to Hornot's. Hope you got my email msg reply. Nice visitin' - Louisa Luce-Horton

Trusstar@AOL.com, Family and Friends
Yo Gator, I have many family members and friends in La. I am from Texas but I married a little gal from Zwolle, La. I have been gone from home for a few years and I long for those sultry summer evenings spent with family and friends at Toledo Bend. Eating Crawfish, drinking ice cold beer and enjoying the flavors of La. I guess I am just homesick. Now that I have found this web site will at least try to recreate some of the magic of those days past through cooking some of my favorites found here. Though I can't get my hands on carwfish here I will try the ettoufee using shrimp (prawns as they say here) as a substitute. I do miss home but thanks for bringing a little of it to me. Sincerely, Trusstar

Yo Gator, I was tol' you had a receipt her for dem fry turkeys. Where it at? Actually, when I lived on the North Shore, in Mandeville, I fried several turkeys, but seemed each time I was calling my neighbor Curt, from K-B (Katz & Betsoff, a drugstore chain, for the out-of-towners who may read this) and get the temp and time from him. I've injected butter, Tony Chachere's mix, garlic and butter, etc., and would love to get your recipe. The URL I was given (www.acadiacom.net/custom/Rec_Entr/fryturkey.html) came up blank, however. So I decided just to surf over and check out the rest of your page. I'll keep looking. If it isn't here, could you send me a recipe? Thanks! ... and Laissez les Bon Temps Roulez, tous la jours!

Yo Gator, I Love your Home Page!! Really something else. Keep up the good work. I was reading the newsgroups and came across the comments you made to the boob in Oakland CA. Where do these foreigners get off telling us true lovers of the cajun/creole cooking, and life what is real and what isn't, they need to live in the New Orleans area for a few years and really get to know the true people, then maybe we will accept their comments. YEA RIGHT!!! :) Keep Up The Good Work!!!

Yo Gator, Like your page! OK, I got some questions, yeah. 1) What's the difference between north LA and South LA cajuns?. 2)How do you make red gumbo (my ex-husbands aunt who lived on Calliope near Magazine made it - delicious!)? My mawmaw always put her file in her gumbo from the start. Most(but not all) recipes I see say that make it ropey -but hers wasn't. What do you t'ink? I'll be looking in on your page for more cajun cookin'.
