Slap Ya Huh?

I went to the grocery store today to pick up the goodies to put in my Pay It Forward box. I wanted to get some Louisiana items to share with my winner, Paige, who lives in the Midwest. I had a fun time going through the store and picking out items produced in the state. One of my favorites, is "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun seasoning, not because of how it tastes, but because of the name. It is a phrase heard around here occasionally like, "That gumbo was so good you wanna slap ya mama." There are great phrases like that all around the country. I love to hear the "local speak", especially when they are "passing a good time".

Meeting Inspection

Today I received my Pay It Forward goodie bag from Lin of Duck and Wheel with String. Lin sent some wonderful treats for me and even a little something for the cats. The strawberry jam body yogurt smelled so wonderful. Jasmine and Skittles followed the jar as I moved it from the bag to the table. They were extremely interested in everything in the bag. They assessed each item as it was removed. It is a good thing our personal inspectors were here when the package was opened. Lin, you will be happy to know your items passed the rigorous scrutiny of our highly paid examiners.

Preparation

Boil King decided that he could not get through this season without having a crawfish boil. So he has planned a boil for Sunday. My job today was to go out and get the fixins. He wanted small potatoes, onions, salt, and sausage. He said he had enough boil seasoning. When I took it out of the panrty to put it in the picture, I see that he must have forgotten he used it earlier. A job tomorrow will be to get more "boil".

Added later...I stand corrected. I didn't look on the pantry floor. He does have enough "boil".
