************* He's from Cajun country, Marianne, and dirty
rice is standard fare. It's got little pieces of diced meat
in it. So sit yourself down to a big plate of gumbo,
jambalaya, red beans 'n rice, and sumadat goooooood shrimp
creole. Pass the hot sauce, please.
Can't remember if it stemmed from a book or not, but I
remember this movie with Powers Booth in it and he's either
chasing somebody or being chased thru one of those delightful
Louisiana swamps and he comes upon a little Cajun village,
out in the middle of nowhere, and it takes a few minutes and
dwells on the locals and their half French half Indian
language and shows someone running a trot line and I think
they have a little Cajun party, too. That's all just a bit
before the blood spills, of course. I'd like to see that
movie again.
