We had rain predicted all lat week and nary a drop...they are really bad about predicting for this area...either northwest or northeast but not north central AR. Not enough population evidently to care what happens to us.<br />The recipe sounds great except I would have to use another sausage. Where did you get it up North? We get lots of LA foods here but I've not seen boudin before. Yesterday they were selling fresh gulf shrimp in Mountain Home at a stand but I was past it by the time I noticed. I need a meal today and that sounds like a good one!

We were out of town last week, and drove home Sunday evening, while watching the lightning storms up north in the distance, with the rain coming in--we thought. By the time we turned off the highway to our county road, we discovered we had missed an hour-long hail storm. The temperature dropped to 47 degrees and there was still hail all over the shoulders and median by the time we passed by. A few days later, heard that storm had taken out one guy's entire strawberry crop--not a good thing for his business right now. And yet, in a couple of days, our temps will get up to 114F. What a crazy week it has been! Still can see the snow in the mountains, but don't know how long <i>that</i> will last!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-84725461545636114542017-06-16T21:41:33.377-05:002017-06-16T21:41:33.377-05:00Sounds good.

Oh, I separate my food too and most of the time eat all of one thing on my plate before starting on another.

When I was a kid, I only wanted one thing on my plate at a time. I finally graduated to more things but separated! What causes that habit?

I only just bought soome for the first time when I wade something last month and wondered if I would ever use it again. Might have to try your recipe. Sorry about your tooth pain. That is not fun at all. Wow! 3-4 inches is quite a lot of rain for a week. Hope you get a chance to dry out.
