    it looks like shrimp and tasso pasta will be our contribution. Unless I stumble upon some crawfish, then maybe a combo.

    I'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.

    It's looking like I won't be able to make this after all, quel drag. I'd better cancel now so that someone on the wait list has time to prepare.

    Sorry 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!

    I 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

    While everyone is welcome to stay as long as they like (and the food holds out), you should be able to get plenty of samples in 3.5 hours :wink:

    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!!!

    So sorry to hear Seamus--was definitely looking forward to meeting you and seeing your "frog legs" demo---hopefully another time!

    Jhawk1 and fam--you're in!!

    If others are still interested, let us know--I'm guessing a few more spots may open up between now and then!

    I'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. :)
