Crab Omelet

Cajun French: l’omlette d’oeuf (l’om-let d’uf) – egg omelet

 

There is nothing like fresh crabmeat from a farmers market. We are lucky to have a weekly vendor, Outlaw Katfish Kompany, selling fresh crabs, crabmeat, and wild caught catfish. The taste is beyond description except to say all of these products melt in your mouth and have a sweetness to the taste. This past Saturday we purchase a pound of fresh claw crabmeat. Not wanting to freeze it, we have been using the crab in various ways. This morning was crab and eggs and this simple dish was breakfast stepped up a notch.

Sixth Day of Christmas – 6 Cypress Knees

Cajun French: le cypre (lu seep) – cypress

 

The Bald Cypress Tree is the official tree of Louisiana. This majestic tree grows in the swamps and wetlands of Louisiana and loses its needles in the fall, giving the tree a “bald” appearance. The tree will grow in any wet area, yet the cypress in the swamps will form knees that grow up from the roots. The knees are thought to help the tree with long term survival – giving stability and aiding in oxygen.

In the Cypress Tree swamps, fishing is great and is a favorite pastime of many Cajuns. To honor this area on the sixth day of Christmas, we grilled catfish.
