It's the Christmas season, y'all! And no, I didn't forget about Thanksgiving. I like to celebrate Christmas for as long as humanly possible---and as long as the public will let me.

This time of year is the best for fruit. Pears, apples, citrus---they're all exceptionally sweet around this time every year.

You've got cajun food, that's an Americanized version of French cooking. Creole cooking that comes from a… Continue reading Muffuletta Salad
