A Truth Journal: FYI, Spring Fever At Our House! 6 Funny Links Too
A Truth Journal: FYI, Spring Fever At Our House! 6 Funny Links Too: From Denny: Yeah, been enjoying Spring time here in Louisiana, along with the huge hanks of oak tree pollen falling at my feet. The weather has been almost like Hawaii lately: soft warm breezes. Soooo, have not been posting as much lately. Too busy being downright happily sloth like and getting Pollen Head at the same time. I'm sure you all understand. :) My heart goes out to all of you still stuck in snow weather and Snowquester. Should be posting tonight, if not tomorrow. Talk about Lazy Bones here... Throwing kisses out to you all - and thanks so much for your support on this and all my other crazy blogs!

Comfort Food From Louisiana: New Orleans Recipe: Crescent City Shrimp Jambalaya
Comfort Food From Louisiana: New Orleans Recipe: Crescent City Shrimp Jambalaya: From Denny: Not in the mood for the chicken version of jambalaya? No problem; make it with shrimp and andouille sausage for a change of pace. Shrimp is ridiculously popular down South that we are forever creating new dishes to keep up with the demand.
Louisiana cooking is based off of French cooking and with the same mindset of employing whatever food sources are at hand. From the bayous or spillways teeming with yummy crayfish to the gorgeous shrimp and oysters from the Gulf of Mexico we create recipes around our bountiful food.
Check out awesome Louisiana eating: oysters, shrimp, crawfish, gumbo, jambalaya

Comfort Food From Louisiana: New Orleans: Creamy Seafood Jambalaya Pasta
Comfort Food From Louisiana: New Orleans: Creamy Seafood Jambalaya Pasta: From Denny: Need a quick pasta dish finished in 30 minutes? Zatarain's created a product using the traditional jambalaya seasonings but with pasta noodles instead of rice! If you want to include more than shrimp, like some tilapia or other fish, then cook these first and set aside.
Cooking shrimp separately to be added by the diner is also a good idea if you have diners who don't like shrimp or are allergic.

Comfort Food From Louisiana: New Orleans Chef Recipe: Crabmeat-Shrimp Fritters, Creole Tomato Dressing
Comfort Food From Louisiana: New Orleans Chef Recipe: Crabmeat-Shrimp Fritters, Creole Tomato Dressing: From Denny: Like to make easy fritters for the family for a quick meal? I sure remember those yummy clam or corn fritters my mother used to make on Saturdays when I was a kid. Apple fritters are equally tasty, especially when dusted with some cinnamon and sugar. So, when I run across yet another variation to The Fritter Family then I'm game to try it.
This new fritter recipe comes from New Orleans Chef John Besh and Zatarain's. Claw crabmeat, corn and small shrimp are featured in this recipe along with its own special tomato creole dressing. Pull out your food processor to make this easy tasty dressing of Creole seasoning, garlic, Creole mustard (like stone ground mustard) and tomato. Chill for an hour and then you are off to the dinner races!

Warriors Pearl Foundation: New Funny St. Patricks Day Design: Irish BS
Irish BS Men's Baseball Jersey
Warriors Pearl Foundation: New Funny St. Patricks Day Design: Irish BS: From Denny: Ever heard of "Irish Obedience Training?" Yeah, me neither! Because we all know the Irish storytellers are irrepressible - and full of mischief like their fabled leprechauns. Sport your amusing support of all the frivolity and green beer on St. Patrick's Day with this new look from denny lyon designs at Cafe Press. Plenty of other products available in this design so you have plenty to choose from over at Denny Lyon Gifts!
The proceeds go to help support those groups who are housing and helping homeless female military veterans get off the streets. Denny Lyon (yeah, that's me) is a journalist-blogger (so bored with homogenized news I started my own blogs just to entertain myself and my readers!), photographer and Louisiana artist intensely interested in social issues.
I saw a news report on NBC News, Nightly News with Brian Williams, about the more than 5,000 homeless female military vets that the Pentagon was not helping so I decided to start this fund raising effort over at Cafe Press (Denny Lyon Gifts) to help raise funds for the women. The majority of these former female vets end up on the streets because of PTSD from being raped while serving in the military....
