| Message | Hello,
I too am from Detroit, born and raised there. When my father retired from the auto factory he moved to New Orleans. I was visiting him and my truck was stolen leaving my husband, two children and I stranded. New Orleans captivated me and the food cannot be matched anywhere else.
At eight years old I could put a complete meal on the table for my parents and 5 siblings. I have loved to cook from the time my mother would put me on a chair at the table to watch and learn from her. At seventyfive I am still interested in food, especially creol/cajun.
We moved to Pearl River and lived there for twenty years. I have had a few of my food experiments published in the Slidell newspaper/ One that gor a lot of attention was oysters that I put in with my crabs to boil. Another was oyster tomatoe spaghetti sauce. My brother asked a cajun man that shucked oysters in the French Quater to come have dinner with me. When he went back to New Orleans he took a large jar of the sauce so his boss could try it. It was added to their menu and was well received.
What a stoke of luck I found this site, Pam |
