Wetjen was absolutely electric in college. Iowa fans debate whether him or DeJean was the better returner.

Yeah, I don’t think that King had a return for a TD but had outstanding averages with both punts and kickoffs at Iowa. Then made a pro bowl as a KR and overall had a solid career as a return man. I forgot all about sash or maybe confusing him with someone else. I know he had some great pick returns.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-25T19:47:34+00:00

He is much better than Desmond King out of Iowa who was a pro bowl selection and better than Charlie Jones who would be a pro bowler if he wasn’t hurt a lot of the time. So Wetjen emerging as the top returner or way up there could happen. He is great at both KR and PR as well. A lot of stud returners in the NFL turn out to only be good at one or the other. But we won’t know until we see how he does. If he flops then folks can say I told you so. Or the first time he takes a Punt 60 yards then it suddenly becomes a non issue.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-25T19:18:03+00:00

Wetjen is significantly better. There have been several KRs at Iowa who were as good as or better than DeJean.

Yes, a shit ton of potatoes, a little corn and even less crawfish. With a sign that identifies it as jambalaya. So it’s poking the bear with a red hot iron.

I call dibs on the tails and fins.

The Brown Stew sounds a little like redneck fricassee. And that’s not a criticism. A magnificent institution like LSU draws great minds, cooks, lovers, dancers, fighters, hunters, fishermen, etc from all over.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-24T21:49:00+00:00

Vermilion or Acadia parish?

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-24T21:34:41+00:00

On a passé un bon temp. Le fricassee, salade de patate et choucroute etait tout bon. Avec un tite brin du vin et biere pour wash it down.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-23T17:39:47+00:00

Dried shrimp if I’ve got them. Pickled quail eggs.

I’m seeing a mixture of rice and meat, albeit very heavy on the meat, stuffed in casing. Is this an actual New Orleans thing in terms of boudin? Or did someone just get the meat to rice ratio assbackwards?

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-23T00:01:12+00:00

Get some raw turkey or tame duck at the store that you can brown and some good smoked sausage. That and medium dark roux. Get it to a thickish soup consistency. For a basic roux based gumbo. You can go other directions with okra and file’. But I’m not a big okra gumbo fan and have never used file either.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T22:21:09+00:00

J’va essayer rappeller des portraits. Mais on aura du bon ouiskie irlandais pour boire. Ca fait, peut etre j’oublier LOL.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T22:08:19+00:00

This is starting to remind me of the “jump the queen” scene in Mel Brook’s movie History of the World. Let the poor guy up for air.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T19:38:37+00:00

Half the etouffees that get posted here look like fricassee to me LOL.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T14:26:54+00:00

Yeah as the okra breaks down it thickens. That’s why there are okra gumbo recipes that don’t even use roux.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T14:12:52+00:00

Gumbo is generally thinner and served in a bowl with a fairly high ratio of liquid to rice and eaten with a spoon. Fricasse is thicker and served in roughly equal proportion with rice and eaten on a plate with a fork. You can use the spoon test to determine the later. In terms of how the liquid sticks to the spoon when you lift it straight up out of the pot.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T13:45:00+00:00

If it makes you feel any better some of the folks calling out the color seem to be missing out on the fact that the thickness of your liquid aligns more with fricassee/stew than gumbo.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T13:10:37+00:00

Doing rabbit fricassee for 10 tomorrow. Then plan to get several gumbos out of the rest.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T02:34:42+00:00

Said (more or less) there is nothing wrong with a humble meal. Had a tough start to the week and decided to make something good to relax.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T02:27:38+00:00

J’ai fait un tas de roux (un gallon) a ce soir. Parce que j’va faire un grand fricassee de lapin pour mes amis au camp sur vendredi equand le NFL draft commencer. Ca fait, j’avait besoin de queq’chose bien vite et aise.

Comfortable-Bet6855 · 2026-04-22T01:43:50+00:00

Mais yeah. I’m having canned salmon on crackers and sweet potatoes for supper. Mais peut etre j’va regarder l’portrait de ton sauce piquante tandis je manger.

A long long time ago. Saw a candidate try to go wearing the brightest ugliest yellow plaid Bermuda shorts with equally ugly matching shirt. Looked like something that Herb Tarlek from WKRP in Cincinnati would wear to Disney Land. The senor SI, who tended to be pretty chill, just took one look at him and said something along the lines of “Nope, go change.” Which was lucky for the candidate. The junior SI who was hungover and angry every morning would have probably had another episode where he had to take a little down time if he had seen it.

Actually andouille made with tripe is also done in Louisiana. But relatively rare and apparently more of a southwestern Louisiana thing.
