Crawfish and Gator Sausage

Being up here in Lakeview, Oregon can be very depressing! All the snow, the wind, the "trapped" feeling...it really sucks. One of our friends dragged up last week and went home to get ready to go to work in Louisiana. I got a major craving for crawfish, gator sausage, and warm weather! I have come to love the state of Louisiana! If you haven't been there that is a trip you need to make! If you can get passed the tornados and hurricanes there is alot of great stuff there. Number one and most importantly FOOD, Oh my goodness the food is to die for! If you ain't had cajun cooking you missin' out. The spices, the seafood, the gumbos, the crawfish, alligator sausage..all of it is amazing, granted I think everytime we go down there I gain probally about 20 pounds but hey it was worth it. Basically don't go to Louisiana on a diet. There is also so much to do in Louisiana, you can cruise the swaps, go to bars, hit the Boardwalk to Bossier City, gambling in Sherveport, check out the cost, fishing, hunting, shopping, meusums, zoo's, Saint's Games, New Orleans, etc. That list could go on for along, long time. Not to mention the people are absolutly awesome, polite and honest and half of them will give you the shirt of your back! Some of mine and my husbands' greatest friends have been coonasses. Therefore in the spirt of my Cajun memory lane I give you: Crawfish Fettuchni
