Post #71 - October 24th, 2010, 7:22 pmI'd like to bring Crawfish Pies (or shrimp, if I can't get crawfish). I think these would taste best if I could bake them there for about 20 minutes. Will that pose a problem? If so, I can look at other options.

Post #74 - October 25th, 2010, 12:37 pmSorry you can't make it Katie but, hopefully, we'll do it again in a few months!
Cabrito +1--you and your greens are in!
A number of you haven't confirmed what you're making so if you've decided what you're bringing, let us know. Also, if anyone has to cancel, please let us know as soon as you can since we have some folks on the waiting list that really want to come and a few others who have mentioned that they'd like to if space permits.
Finally, feel free to BYO, whatever you'd like--I'll have some soft drinks and maybe some iced tea (hate the stuff personally but, given the theme...)
See ya'll in a few weeks!

Post #75 - October 25th, 2010, 12:46 pmI should still be able to make it, but have another committment that will require me to be a bit 'dressed up' around 5ish, so I'll need to head home by 3:30ish I'm guessing"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home."

It seems I'm jinxed with LTH events. Unfortunately, I have to cancel. I was just notified that I have an Indian Guides event with my boys scheduled the same afternoon as this gathering. Enjoy your cajun cuisine!!!

Post #85 - November 5th, 2010, 11:51 amI'm planning to bring chocolate pie with meringue topping, my great grandma's recipe, as well as the greens.
I'm practicing the pie this weekend, so I'll post some photos later.
