ever had one from smokey joe's at the chevron on kaliste saloom?

is that the chevron by the old "hog heaven"? I haven't had one from there but I had one from Dwight's this past Sunday. It was "some moe!"

Jambalya fo sho. If you want to catch some good catfish for some frying, bring ya some 20 oz coke bottles (about 40-60)and some string and hooks. I like 6/0 up to 8/0 myself. Catch you some little bream on some small perch hooks and just before dark go out and bait em and chunk em out in da water. Great for the adults and kids. It gets real excitin when you see one of dem bottles go under and run about 20 feet or so before it comes back to the top. then the chase is on to get it. If you all are stayin for a week, you will have a blast doing this and get fish to fry. Don't know where you are staying, but you can go to the mouth of about any cove and do it...throw out jugs. Have fun and catch some fish. Once you start catching the cats, keep the bellies for cut bait, It works great out there.

lol, this is some great ideas guys. i love the new things with the crawfish boil, and the old ideas that i had forgotten about like the red beans and rice. Quackhead, i love how you made it sound chasing the bottles,, i'm almost getting anxious lol
thank you so much for such great ideas,,,

oh TOM, We always end up bringing the ritz crackers back home because we run out of the squeeze cheeze first,,,, we all love those,,, that will be a great idea , mmmmm thank you

Season up some bass or white perch fillets, fold some foil up in a pan shape, throw the fillets in with a little water and cover with another sheet of foil and chunk it on the pit.

Pastalaya
 

Why not pastalaya?
So much easier than jambalaya.

thanks EMAN,,, I think I will try that one,, sounds like what i am looking for

You could also do almost Jambalaya Po Boys, instead of using rice or noodles just slap some dat jambalaya on a french bread and eat it up.

My go to when I have a lot of family over is either boiled seafood or a Boston butt pork roast with white beans.

check out nomenu.com he has some good recipes, the pepper crusted pork loin is the bomb with that sweet heat sauce.

Also, you can get a couple of big ole ripe mississippi watermelons and ice them down and eat em up

If ya going to do water melons make sure an do one for the adults!
Plug it stick a fifth of stoleys in the plug hole and ice it down .
best to do the night b4

Hog tied Chicken.



take you chicken tender's, cut them into little bite size peices, stick on a toothpick, stick a jalopenio on, wrap in a small peice of bacon and grill.
**marinate the chicken in Carribean Jerk Chicken Marinade.

To feed a bunch of people.........Sloppy Joe's can be fixed at home and heated up when needed.

K.I.S.S = keep it simple S.....

this reminded me of how my mom growing up would make lasagna, enchiladas and other dishes on sundays for the week, she would bake then freeze and defrost during the week and reheat still just as good, like you said gerald keep it easy and spend more time fishing and having fun

If you are planning to serve some Jambalaya........make the "stock" [everythng but the rice and only a minimum amount of water] at home. Freeze this in small containers.

Then all you have to do is take out what you need.......add some water and heat to unthaw before adding the rice to cook.

When making a big batch of Jambalaya.....I will boil the chicken [only using a little water] in a seperate pot and then remove the bones. This way you do not have the extra "mess" of the bones when eating.

Wouldn't "unthawing" something be freezing it?

NO comment.........look at the time i wrote it!!!!!!!!!!!

:D:rotfl::D
