Man-OH-Man, Mt.DU and the BayouBob have really got it made. I just love those pictures guys. And I just love BBQ Shramps, Cajun Style, soaking up all them juices with a large loaf of French bread. Wednesday, for dinner, we made up some white-tail smoked sausage with tons of Shramps, in an Étouffée, the twist wasn't just the venison, but the addition of Viet-Cong, nuoc mam fish sauce, "BAMM"...uummm, oh-yeah!
Listen, you guys ever run into any of my Kin down there, seems when we LeGendre's got run out of Canada, over the French Indian War thing, we settled the straights of Mackinaw south, all the way around the thumb of Michigan. Some of my kin got restless and went over to set things straight with the English and helped old George Washington out. But not before a bunch went down into your country in the mid 1600's to actually start that Cajun thing (even though the Dutchman, ames van Aressan, gets the credit, my kin guided him in about the mid 1680's) and 100 years before the Acadians showed up. The town they originally settled was called LeGendre, Louisiana and melded into the LeGendre Plantation, which, I am told, still exists, and is part of the Medway Plantation now, or therein abouts. I've got a flowery family history, that pretty much starts with a Frenchman that was to come to New York as an indentured servant, but jumped ship in the Maritimes and became, generally speaking, the Canadian version of a George Washington of sorts. Got a couple of LeGendre's with their own Polynomials and got a cuz that received the Metal of Honor on the D-Day Beaches, doing what is essentially a SEAL mission now, days before the actual D-Day landings and allot of other cool family stuff. But you guys might have run into some of them down there and it'd be interesting to here about it. I've been suggesting to the Mrs., that we come on down to your AO and get out of the snow this winter, you guys know anyone we ought to check in with, when we get there, I heard there is some mighty fine grub, in dem-dar-parts?? ..t
