Let's go a little further South and enjoy some cajun type cooking. Here in North Carolina the weather is cool and windy today. We had our church homecoming today and all of us like to have froze under the shelter in the shade. The people at my table slid our table into the sunshine to get warm. Goodness that wind will cut right through you. This dish will warm you up!
Enjoy!
