This blog is to be a collection of favorite things/place/happenings/etc. It's going to be broad and random and hopefully enjoyable to someone other than me. Today, with the snow about to fall in Central PA, I am thinking of warm Cajun food. And who better to guide you into the Cajun universe than the legend, Justin Wilson.
I have very fond memories of Sunday afternoons, watching Nashville's PBS station and enjoying Julia Child and Justin Wilson with my dad. He usually slept through Julia (who I now adore), but came to for Justin's weekly offering.
This year I am calling on Justin's help in taking on a true Cajun challenge - the Turkducken. In case you are unfamiliar, the Turkducken is a huge turkey, stuffed with an XL chicken, stuffed with a big duck. Then it is sometimes stuffed with cornbread stuffing or even seafood jambalaya. A full-sized Turkducken can feed nearly 40 people, so I ordered the Turkducken roll for our Christmas dinner from Cajun grocer. The roll will feed approximately 5-7 people (so my husband plus 3) and comes stuffed with cornbread stuffing. Needless to say, we're pretty psyched!
But what to pair with our feast? Here comes Justin to the rescue again (insert "ayeee" soundbite). Checking out his site at www.justinwilson.com, I have decided on Corn Maque Chou, Boiled Okra and I might even throw in some Seafood Etoufee!
Any other menu suggestions?
