Maque Choux & All That Jazz


For all of you have a surplus of fresh corn, green peppers and tomatoes now, creamy Maque Choux (pronounced Mock Shoe) is one of my favorite dishes. The is fabulous recipe for it on Nola Cuisine. You can make a veggie version of it by adding a Chipotle pepper instead of the Tasso and/ or using Tabasco Chipotle sauce. I add 3/4 of a cup of heavy cream sometimes as a variation and cut the butter in half. It is so wonderful.

I spent Sunday cooking and working on some painting and web sites. I revamped my entire site. I went for a cleaner, leaner and more sophisticated look. My creative energy was in full swing with the sounds of jazz courtesy of a live stream from WWOZ.org Jazz & caffeine make me very productive. Check out the new and improved Bluezstudios.net

Punch and Mako spent the morning sleeping on the couch. Mako spent the afternoon and evening fly hunting. Went took so many breaks outside that we let at least one in each time. I was so busy working that I missed a heavy rain shower. I found out about it when I took the dogs out. The backyard was drenched. Looks like another storm is brewing. Better take the two turkeys out before it hits...
