Crawdad Gumbo Anyone?

We found this guy in our driveway.  The rains must have brought him out of his hole.  However, he soon became bird food and was snatched away as fast at we found him. He was about 5-6 inches long.

Hearthside Cooking

A good friend and one of my daughter's participated in a Hearthside cooking class.  We were first "team Pastry" and started mixing a Dolly Madison Scripture Cake.  We were so happy to taste your cake, along with all the other items cooked/baked and prepared.  This was such a fun experience, and we now know how to cook over fire, or coals in a brazier (see below)
