You'll love it then when I post 'Andouille' (the sausage) and 'TCHOUPITOULAS' tomorrow. My mother's maiden name was 'Jayroeux'--and the love for the LA's was definitely passed down. That's where most of my 'old' varieties and my pass-alongs came from. And that's why 'Beausoleil' is one of my favorites--has nothing to do with the looks of it! Debbie |
