DAMMIT DUDE! I was trying not to eat anything for the rest of the night... now I have to go to the store and grab something to eat. Thanks for ruining my un-appetite.

I'll stick to my usual ramen noodles and peanut butter and jelly. That's way to time consuming to make.

[jduet]

Oh yea, you should have used Tobasco sauce and some Abita beer for some real Louisiana taste

i didnt use any beer to cook with. really? i should use tabasco? the hot sauce i use was pretty vinegary and has a lot more flavor than tabasco.

Sorry, I meant Abita to drink not to cook with

I like Louisiana hot sauce, but the green pepper Tobasco is the tits IMO

Oh wait! Before I go: I made this and was very proud and it was so yummy;



Simple meal, with a delicious taste.

now there's some simple and good looking cookin.

...tabasco has got to be the lowest hot sauce on the ladder for me. there are so many awesome hot sauces out there, it's such a shame to use the cheapest one with the worst consistency and flavor...

[jduet]

blasphemer!!!

What's your favorite then?

Yum! Thanks for the write-up. Ima pounce on this for the weekend.
After a bazillion phone calls, I finally found a place that carries Andouille up here. Called a Cajun restaurant and they didn't even know where to get it! Midwest is kinda lacking in Cajun food stuffs.
