Have you found other similarities between this guy and past boyfriends?

[taxwonk]

always set me to thinking about Southern cooking:

Here's my crawfish etoufee recipe.

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup flour

Mix flour and oil in large skillet over med heat to make a roux. Once the roux is formed, turn heat to low and cook about 40 minutes, until the roux is a peanut butter color.

Then add:
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 large Vidalia onion, chopped med. fine
1 large greem bell pepper, chopped med. fine
3 stalks celery, sliced fine
1 good handful parsley, chopped fine
2 sprigs thyme, leaves stripped
one bay leaf

Sweat about 20 minutes over med-low heat, until onions are translucent and the flavors blend well. This also allows any remaining floury taste to cook out of the roux.

Add the following:
1 bottle clam juice and 20 oz. shrimp, fish, or crawfish stock**
1 cup white wine
Frank's Red Hot Sauce to taste*

Simmer about 30 minutes, until the etoufee has the right consistency. You may want to let it go longer if it's too thin or add some more wine if it needs thinning.

Add:
2lbs crawfish tails

Turn heat to med-high, stirring fairly regularly, about 15 minutes until crawfish is heated through.

Serve over long-grain white rice and garnish with chopped parsley and more Frank's Red Hot Sauce.*


* You may substitute your favorite hot sauce. I like Frank's because it has as much of a vinegar note as it has heat. My personal feeling is that if your hot sauce is too firey, it drowns out the other more subtle flavors.

** If you buy whole crawfish, then the stock is easy. Just take the heads and the shells from the tails and cover with water. Add a handful of pepper corns, a tablespoon of kosher salt and a lemon, cut in half. Bring to a rapid boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes. Strain the whole mess and you've got a perfect stock.

Damn, now I'm hungry again. Fucker.

Awesome quote from Nietzsche. I've got to dig that one out again.

....remind me never to purchase a rare lunch box from him i'd get ripped off.

Geez, you want me to go all Bernie Getz on them? "I thought it was a gun, you mean he just was excited to be kissed by her????" **crafting a defense...

I'm telling you, ppnyc, you really need to grab the kissy-faced couple, throw them against the wall, and give them a piece of your mind.

Huh? Wouldn't that just alert the klepto bar staff to the fact that there's some money in the jar to steal? Between the lunchboxes and this I have to say I'm starting to wonder about this fella. Does he at least have a Colin Farrell?

How many lunch boxes does he have now? Did he start because he found some of his old ones as an adult, or did he start collecting as a child?

No, he started collecting as an adult. Mr. Bunny, by his nature, is a habitual line crosser. Kinda like my polar opposite. THis lunchbox thing makes him sound pretty puffy, but he's actually a pretty macho man who has won street fights all over Africa, outrun the cops in at least 50 countries. Will do anything on a dare and I think the only reason why he didn't make it on to Fear Factor when he tried out is because he could do every task without a moment's hesitation. He's actually kind of nasty and vile when I think about it.

What? You don't Chinaski has won a dozen or two African street fights? You don't think the Flower has outrun cops in countries you have not even heard of? But, you don't see us running around with vintage Scooby Doo lunch boxes.

Maybe if you had a Colin Farrell and a bunny hanging from your arm, you'd be more secure in your masculinity.
