We took crawdads and crayfish and combined them to make crawfish (we take pride in mispronouncing everything). And I will take you up on that promise of safe harbor as long as my guest bathroom has an enlarger in it. I can't hack catfish...they taste like mud to me. And I like clam chouder better than crawfish etouffe. The best combination is boiled crawfish (with an entire jar of cayenne pepper in the boil) along with Zatarain's crab boil, lemons, garlic cloves, onions, and some red potatoes and corn on the cob. Then you eat incessantly for several hours while downing beer. We had a redneck reporter named John Sinor from San Diego come out here for the 1984 World's Fair (which was a turkey). He spent a few hours at the World's Fair, said "screw this", and then spent a week in the Quarter scarfing crawfish and beer. At some point there has to be an attorney's conference down here. Come on down and I'll have my Coon-Ass friend cook for us (before everyone goes nuts on me, Coon-Ass is the local slang for Cajun...nobody says Cajun, and nobody calls one another "cher". We also call olive salad "wop salad". We don't care about being politically correct when all of our politicians are crooked anyway). http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5423211 Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Marc James Small Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 9:24 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Re:Darkrooms and Hurricane Housings At 09:52 PM 5/22/06 -0500, Christopher Williams wrote: >Could I bring my Focomat 1C's instead of using the V35? Argh! You have to pass a really tough test before you are allowed to TOUCH the V-35! Jeffrey, of course, gets a pass on this. The point is that those strapped by a future hurricane can find brief shelter in my abode. Jeffrey can linger on for a while, especially if he can cook crawdads etouffe. If not, well, we'll allow him to linger on but we will force him to eat coddled eggs, pickled eels, and some of those pork cuts which are not pronounced in polite society. For that matter, we do a grand artichoke and I do know what rare means in a steak. Come on up, Jeffery. The thought of your presence makes me hungry. And, yes, we can get your sort of food -- mud-dripping dead catfish and crawdads and the like -- here, though I will acknowledge to preferring a decent bottle of a red and a rare steak, with an artichoke on the side and maybe a half-potato, baked. Hmm. We are putting the warmers into the covers as I speak. At what hour will you arrive? <he grins, though I probably could warm the sheets up as necessary should any LUG member show up in abject condition on my doorstep this evening. We understand hospitality here in Virginia.> Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir! _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
