[1225]
Do you want to go first? /
[1042]
You can go first, /{C or } I will. /
[1225]
{D Well, } you go ahead. /
[1042]
Okay. /{D Well, } I'm going to tell you what I'd have
[1225]
[1042]
Down in the south, we have a lot of shrimp,
[1225]
# Oh, # /
[1042]
# okay? # /
[1225]
yeah. /
[1042]
{C And } I have, {F uh, } shrimp that is steamed in beer, that --
[1225]
{F Oh, } yeah. /
[1042]
-- I cook. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And then } I have a cauliflower that I would cook, garlic bread, green salad, tea, /{C and } we'd have a lemon pie for dessert. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } it sounds fantastic. /
[1042]
Yes. /{C And } what's really neat about it is, the shrimp is cooked in [ [ your, + {F uh, } {D like } your ] rice steamer, +
[1225]
# {F Oh, } yeah. # /
[1042]
# your rice # cooker. ] /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And, } {F um, } you place the shrimp [ in the, + in the ] rice steamer, /{C and } you put a bay leaf and put some, {F uh, } red pepper over it. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
Now, you can {C either } use, {D you know, } the kind that comes in the little can /{C or } you can just get some, {D you know, } regular red peppers. /
[1225]
Is it cayenne pepper, you mean? /
[1042]
Cayenne? /
[1225]
Yes. /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And } you put a little bit of that over it. /Now if you use the dried kind?
[1225]
Yes. /
[1042]
Then you would only use two of them. /{C And } you put that in there, /{C and then } you pour two bottles of beer over it. /
[1225]
{C And } how much shrimp would you use? /
[1042]
Two pounds. /
[1225]
Two pounds, /okay. /
[1042]
That's the jumbo shrimp in the shells. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } yeah. /
[1042]
Leave the shells on them so they won't just roll up. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And } you pour the beer over the top of it, /{C and } you cover it. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And } you only cook it until the mixture begins to boil,
[1225]
# Okay. # /
[1042]
# and # the shrimp turn pink. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
Then you remove it, /{C and } you put it on a platter. /{C And then } you serve it with melted butter. /{C And, } {F uh, } I usually put garlic powder in mine. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } yeah. /
[1042]
{C And } they can just dip it, /{C and } they shell it as they eat it. /
[1225]
Sure. /
[1042]
{C But, } {F uh, } then [ the mi-, + {F uh, } the cauliflower, ] you,
[1225]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1042]
# cook # that in the microwave. /{C And } what you do is, you just, {F uh, } wash it, /{C and } you core it.
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
[ And + ] in [ a + {D like } a, ] {F oh, } {A what do you call it? } {D Like } Pyrex or something like that, kind --
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
-- of bowl that would go in the microwave. /
[1225]
A glass dish. /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C But } it's got to have one that has a cover on it. /
[1225]
Okay, /uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And } you, {F uh, } put about two tablespoons of, {F uh, } water into this bowl, and about an eighth a teaspoon of salt. /
[1225]
Yeah. /
[1042]
{C And then } you just set your cauliflower in there, /
[1225]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1042]
# {C and # then } you cook it for seven minutes on high. /{C And } you rotate it one time. /
[1225]
{C And } [ it's, + are you ] cooking the whole head --
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
-- at one time? /
[1042]
[ Y-, +
[1225]
Okay. /
[1042]
{F Uh, } when you ] core it, you be real careful so you won't knock your flowers off. /
[1225]
I see. /
[1042]
{C And, } {F uh, } you just set it in there, /{C and } you microwave it on high for seven minutes, /{C and } you turn it one time. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And } while that's cooking, I take [ mayonnaise, + about a cup of mayonnaise, ] and a teaspoon of mustard, and some garlic powder, /{C and } I mix it all together. /{C And } I shred up some just regular white cheese. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And } after that's cooked, you take it out and pour this on top of it, /{C and then } you sprinkle the cheese on top of that. /{C And } you cook it for another three minutes on high, {D you know, }
[1225]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1042]
# just # mainly to melt the cheese and everything, and let all the seasoning melt into it. /{C And, }
[1225]
# Yeah. # /
[1042]
# it's # done. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } that sounds fantastic. /
[1042]
It is good. /
[1225]
[1042]
{C But } [ it, + it ] looks, - /{E I mean, } [ what you can do then, see is, + {D like } what I usually do is, ] I'll {D like } sit the cauliflower in the middle, /{C and then } I put the, {F uh, } shrimp around the outside of it,
[1225]
# {F Um, } {F um. } # /
[1042]
# {D you know, } # on my platter. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And then } I have a green salad that I put around the outside of that. /{C And, } {D you know, } you have all the different seasonings and stuff, /{C and then } I just fix little individual cups for them. /{C And } they have the,
[1225]
# Sure. # /
[1042]
# garlic # bread, /{C and } it makes it a real nice looking,
[1225]
# {C And } it's # --
[1042]
# {D you know. } # /
[1225]
-- not much work. /
[1042]
Huh-uh, /huh-uh. /{C But } it --
[1225]
That sounds, -/
[1042]
-- looks like it, {D you know }
[1225]
[1042]
You look like you went to a whole bunch, -/
[1225]
I bet it tastes good too. /
[1042]
Right. /{C And, } {F uh, } usually I cut those little cherry tomatoes up,
[1225]
# {F Oh, } yeah. # /
[1042]
# and put # some color into it, {D you know, } /{C and } I'll lay those on top of my salad, {D you know, } to make it look nice and things like that. /
[1225]
{D Now, } how many could you serve? /
[1042]
Okay. /{F Uh, } it usually serves six. /
[1225]
Yeah. /[ O-, + okay. ] /I figured about that. /
[1042]
Yeah. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } that's good. /See out here, we have so many, {F uh, } ethnic people. /We have Italians, /{C and } we have Portuguese, /{C and } we have Russians and Polish. /{C And } it depends, out here, {D like } the type of people you're going to entertain, {D you know? } /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
{C So } it's hard, {F uh, } /[ you, + you ] just have to pick something, for [ the, + the ] group that you're going to entertain for that particular time. /
[1042]
Yeah. /
[1225]
{C And, } {F uh, } they're big on finger food here, too. {D You know, } chicken wings and, {F uh, } ribs, and that kind of stuff.
[1042]
Yeah. /
[1225]
{F Uh, } barbecue and, {F uh, } cooking out in the yard, [ it, ya-, + ] {D you know, } when it's nice. Barbecue outside, chicken and that kind of stuff. /
[1042]
Yeah. /Have you ever had crawfish? /
[1225]
{F Uh, } no, /{C but } I have had shrimp. /
[1042]
{F Oh. } You ought to try some crawfish. /They are good. /{C But } {D see, } that's one good thing about living down here is, usually anybody that comes over, {D you know, } even if it's like, out of town guests and stuff, they want our cooking. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } of course. /
[1042]
{D You know, }
[1225]
# That's, # -/
[1042]
# they # want it from down here. /
[1225]
Yeah. /
[1042]
{C Because, } just like now, especially crawfish, it is starting to move out, {D you know, } /{C and } more and more people are beginning to find out how good it is. /
[1225]
Really? /
[1042]
{C But, } -/
[1225]
Is it like shrimp? /
[1042]
{F Uh, } it's similar. /Uh-huh. /
[1225]
It's similar. /
[1042]
Yeah. /It's not --
[1225]
Ch-, -/
[1042]
-- exactly. /{E I mean, } it's got a taste of its own, {D you know, } /{C but } [ it is, +
[1225]
# {F Oh, } it does? # /
[1042]
# it is ] similar # to, because you only eat the,
[1225]
# Does, #
[1042]
# tails # of it. /
[1225]
it look like a lobster? /
[1042]
{F Um, } it looks more like a crab. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } it looks more like a crab. /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
Oh. /
[1042]
{C But, } -/
[1225]
Are they thin, long --
[1042]
No. /
[1225]
-- or wide? /
[1042]
{F Um, } [ let me think of, +
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C Because } it's small like that /{C and } it's got the pinchers like a crab. /{C But, }
[1225]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1042]
# {D you # know, } [ it's, + it's ] similar to a lobster too, because the tail has got the little pleats in it, like a,
[1225]
# {F Oh, } yeah. # /
[1042]
# lobster would. # /
[1225]
Yep. /
[1042]
{C And } we call them mud bugs
[1225]
[1042]
{C But, } {E I mean, } they're fantastic tasting. /They are so good. /Everybody, - /[ it's, + it's ] the season for them right now. /
[1225]
[ {C And, } + {C and } ] where did you say you were from? /
[1042]
Louisiana. /
[1225]
Louisiana. /{F Oh, } {D well, } do you do cajun cooking? /
[1042]
{F Oh, } yeah. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } I love, {F uh, } blackened, {D you know, } {F uh, } [ the, + the ] fish and the chicken and that kind of stuff. /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
{F Oh! } We have a few places up here that do that. /
[1042]
Yeah. /
[1225]
{C And } if ever I see it on the menu, I always get it. /
[1042]
Yes. /
[1225]
It is so good
[1042]
{D You know, } /
[1225]
{D Now } how do they do the blackened? /
[1042]
[ You buy it, + you buy it ] as a seasoning. /
[1225]
{C But, } {F uh, } do you have to have a certain skillet,
[1042]
# Huh-uh. # /
[1225]
# or # something? /
[1042]
Huh-uh. /
[1225]
No? /
[1042]
I cook mine, {D well, } do you have [ a, + {F uh, } {D like } a ] black iron skillet? /
[1225]
I did have. /I don't have it now. /{C But } I have mostly Teflon. /
[1042]
{F Oh, } okay. /{D Well, }
[1225]
# You now, - /{C but, } # -/
[1042]
# I guess you # could cook it [ in, + in ] that too, /{C but } I don't know. /{D You know, } I never have. /I use, {F uh, } {F uh, } the black iron skillet to cook mine. /
[1225]
[ Do-, + does ] it have to get extremely hot? /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
Yeah. /
[1042]
{C But } [ [ it really, + it's ] not, + [ [ it, + it, ] + it ] doesn't ] burn or anything like that. /The blackening is really the seasoning. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{E I mean, } [ there is, +
[1225]
# {F Oh, } {F oh, } #
[1042]
# [ it's, + it's, ] # ]
[1225]
I see. /
[1042]
a blackening seasoning. /
[1225]
Yeah. /
[1042]
{D You know, } {E I mean, } that is a seasoning. /[ That's really, + it's ] not like you would have to cook it for an extreme amount of time, or something like that, to get it, /
[1225]
{F Oh, } I see. /
[1042]
{C Because, } [ it's called, + {F uh, } what it's called ] is, Blackening Magic. /{C And } it, it comes in a bottle, /{C and, } {F uh, }
[1225]
Oh. /
[1042]
{D Well, } I'm trying to see. /It's got [ a, + a ] picture of Dom De Luise on it. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } really? /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
Oh. /{D Now } [ would, + you would ] cook it for the same amount of time as you would, prepare it any other time? /
[1042]
Right. /
[1225]
Is that what you're saying? /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } uh-huh. /{C Because, }
[1042]
# {C But, } # -/
[1225]
# I # could have the, {F uh, } chicken on the skewers, with, {F uh, } {F uh, } blackened seasoning. /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
{C And, } {F oh, } that is so good. Delicious. /
[1042]
Yeah. /{C But } [ you do have to have it, + {D you know, } you do have to have it ] hot when you cook it. {E I mean, }
[1225]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1042]
# your # pan. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
It does have to be really hot, {D you know, } when you put it in. /{C But } it's not like it's burned, /{C and } [ it, + ] [ what it, + what blackens it, ] is the seasoning. /
[1225]
Oh. /
[1042]
{C And } it is so good. /Oh!
[1225]
It is. /[ I, + I ] love it. /
[1042]
Yeah. /
[1225]
[ [ I, + I, ] + in fact I ] was in Texas for a little while. /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
{C And } I liked, {F uh, } the barbecues and the Mexican food. /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
I have a passion for all that type of different tastes. /{C Because } I have been brought up mostly Italian American food. /{C Because } my, {F uh, } parents are Italian and Portuguese. /{C So } we cook a lot of pasta, and, {F uh, } gravies, and pizzas, and, {D you know, } roasts, and that kind of thing. /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
That's why I enjoy going to restaurants and [ have, + {D you know, } trying ] different things. /
[1042]
{D Well, } have you ever thought about coming to Louisiana, {D you know, } to visit? /
[1225]
I would love to. /
[1042]
Yeah. /You ought,
[1225]
# I, # -/
[1042]
# to # come down. /{F Um, } you don't even have to go all the way to New Orleans, {D you know, } if you want to really get some good food. /
[1225]
Really? /
[1042]
{E I mean, } you don't have to go that far south. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C But, } {F uh, } of course, the further south you go, the better the food is, as far as I'm concerned. /
[1225]
Is that right? /
[1042]
{C And } fact is, we're going to take a vacation this year. /We're going to go to New Orleans, again. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And, } {F uh, } we're only going down there for the food, though
[1225]
{D Now, } [ wher-, + where ] do you go when you go there? {F Uh, } right on Basin Street and those places? /
[1042]
{F Uh, } yeah. /We go to [ the, + the ] French Quarters and stuff like that. /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
{C And, } {F uh, } I have some friends that live down there. /{C And so, } usually [ we go to, + we don't go to ] the tourist ones. /
[1225]
Oh. /
[1042]
We go to the ones that they tell us to go to, {D you know. } /
[1225]
{F Oh, } I see. /
[1042]
{C And } we went to this one, /it was called The Back Porch. /{C And, } {F uh, } they were cooking the stuff, {D you know, } while [ we were, + we went ] on this boat ride. /{C And } then we came back and ate, out on this, it was like a back porch
[1225]
# {F Oh, } that's nice. # /
[1042]
# usually if you # can find somebody, - /
[1225]
Uh-huh. /
[1042]
I have never gone to a restaurant, and not just been so full, /it's unreal. /
[1225]
Really? /
[1042]
{E I mean, } it's so good. /The seasoning [ they, + ] it's just unreal. /
[1225]
{C And } don't they make a lot of, {F um, } - /I'm trying to think what they call their soup. /I don't know. /
[1042]
Gumbo. /
[1225]
Yeah, /jumbo. /
[1042]
No, gumbo. /
[1225]
Gumbo, /
[1042]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1225]
# right. # /
[1042]
Right. /
[1225]
[ [ Is, + is, ] + is ] that with seafood? /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /You can even make it with chicken or you can make it with seafood. /
[1225]
{F Oh, } you can? /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
That looks good too. /I've seen [ them d-, + the chefs on T V do ] that? /
[1042]
Uh-huh. /
[1225]
{C And } {F oh, } it looks delicious. /
[1042]
{C And } I'll tell you what. /
