Second Day of Christmas – 2 voodoo dolls

Cajun French: gris-gris (gree gree) – spell or charm

boudin (boo-dahn) – Cajun sausage

 

Voodoo is a religion practiced mainly in the Caribbean and also has a presence in New Orleans and south Louisiana. Although it is a religion, Voodoo also means a charm, spell, fetish, or curse which holds magical power. The Voodoo Doll represents the spirit of a specific person. One can talk to the doll as if talking to the person and have influences over that person – good or evil. In Cajun Louisiana we call putting spells on someone; putting the gris-gris on them.

Mais C’est Bon!

Abita Beer Cobbler

Cajun French:  la peche (la pesh)  –  peach

 

The fridge is still over stocked with beer and we are having fun cooking with the beer.  Having some fruit that needed eating, we decided to make cobbler.  We usually use premade pie crust for our cobbler and finding none the imagination kicked in.  Sweet Potato Biscuits, why not use the batter for the cobbler topping? And why not use beer for the liquid?  Why not for sure; it is fantastic!

This dish could not only be served for breakfast but also for brunch.
