Killer Cajun Crawfish

That recipe sounds amazing. The one time in my life that I made crawfish, they were sold to me alive and wriggling. I showed them to my husband, who sat down at the piano and played Chopin's death march as I dumped them into a pot of boiling water.

What to do with all those spices and herbs?

Penzy's has a branch in Grand Central now. Highly recommended, especially their potent cinnamon and freeze-dried ginger.

this was the first dish i learned to cook, and it was called, by my children's cookbook, "the gashouse special."

Oysters vs. Chocolate: Which Is Sexier?

Oh dear, David Jacobs, the Sextionnaire, huh?
Alright. This is what I made my friends fill out:

SEXTIONNAIRE

On a scale of one to ten, how aroused were you today? (1 = I was asleep the whole time; 10 = It was as if I were dying of thirst and my partner was Fiji artesian water)

On a scale of one to ten, how intense was the pleasure you experienced today? (1 = I was asleep the whole time; 10 = searing pleasure which left me shaken and feeble)

How does the sex you had today compare to the sex you usually have with your partner?

____We always have good sex. Today was no exception.

____We always have good sex. But today was even better than usual.

____We always have good sex. But today was the best sex we've ever had.

(Ignore this question on the non-food day) Do you think the food helped put you in the mood? Please explain.

Please make any additional comments you think might be helpful.

Can't you have both!? We're having an oyster contest and asking readers: "What would you do with four dozen free oysters?" and awarding the best answer with ... you guessed it - 4 dozen free oysters! Check out the contest at MarxFood.com

I can imagine I would be star struck with Mario and Joe. I also could have cut those rolls and not cut my finger. Practice more practice.

Killer Cajun Crawfish

Yes, definitely not cajun. I just don't know how rosemary and crawfish would taste together, ewww.

Killer Cajun Crawfish

um . . . While I am sure that recipe is in fact delicious, it definitely isn't Cajun.

Here's the easiest way to make boiled crawfish. Fill a pot with water. Throw in garlic, lemons, onions, salt cayenne and some Zatarain's crab boil (either liquid or dry works). Let it boil for a bit to make sure the water is fully flavored. add new potatoes and biol for 5 or so minutes, then add crawfish and boil for another 5 or so minutes. Serve immediately. Voila, real Cajun boiled crawfish.

you can buy Zatarain's products through their website here.

Megnut, I think my microplane grater and Nutmeg are the most used things my kitchen. I use nutmeg in something almost everyday. Spinach, eggs, cream sauces mmmmm. My favorite tip I learned believe it or not from Gilmore Girls (go figure). I grate a little into my coffee before brewing. It gives the coffee a lovely smooth and very subtle flavor.

RE L.A. BBQ: My LA-living daughter tells me that Gadberry's (an old favorite of mine) is closed and has been for some time.

A favorite Bacon Purveyor:
The Grateful Palate. Their selections are unique and well chosen, and the Bacon of the Month Club a fun gift that I've given, but sadly, for some reason never received.

Wonderful! And I loved the Snapple reference. Remember the Snapple lady? I wonder whatever happened to her...

Very very clever. I love it best made with sourdough bread.

Fabulous story! Brilliant. Inspired in any way by Michael Pollen's recent NYTsunday mag article on eating like our great grandparents?

Another vote for eggs in a basket.

"One eyed" anything sounds like a snake of a different sort...

Oysters vs. Chocolate: Which Is Sexier?

As far as Aphrodisiacs go, I'll take Giant Clam.

When I was introduced to giant clam sushi, my friendly sushi chef asked me if I was married or had a girlfriend. I told him that I had a girlfriend.

"But why?" I asked. He didn't speak his answer. Instead, he held out his right arm so that it was bent at the elbow with an upright fist. With his other hand, he slapped the bottom of his elbow, and then hardened his fist, which sent his whole arm quivering.

The sushi bar erupted with bawdy laughter at his ribald characterization of a monstrous male member.

"Oh... so you eat giant clam, then that happens, and you need your
girlfriend right away."

Westerners believe oysters put you in the mood; why not giant clam?

Fantastic article! After seeing Tom Jones, I'm pretty much convinced that even a drumstick is sexy but if pressed I'd go with oysters. Definitely oysters.

Sarah:

Chocolate wins out...hands down, for me. Easier to feed your partner with your mouth than oysters and more fun to lick off fingers :)
