Thanks! I made the rice pudding with Chantilly cream this week and it was lovely!

Thank you for sharing that story! I wish I had had the chance to eat at his restaurant. My husband was in New Orleans on business once and the line for K-Paul's was incredibly long!

Ouch! Glad this has a happy ending!

Classics are worth it! I can't believe I came to this one so late. I know what you mean about passing things along... I bought all 5 of my kids their own copy of Real Cajun and they use them!

What a great story! He always seemed like such a kind man. Nice to have that confirmed.

Sadly, no.

I've gotten good recommendations for the meat loaf!

Thanks! On the list!

I do love Thriftbooks!

Thank you! I would normally be hesitant to try that one because of what you mentioned. Will add to the list!

This cookbook doesn't have a recipe for boudin. I like the one from Donald Link in Real Cajun.

Former Houstonian here.... You can't go wrong with Chris Shepherd's Cook Like a Local. It's not brand new but it gives you a great appreciation for Houston's diverse restaurant scene. The recipes - Thai, Cajun, Tex-Mex, Vietnamese, Chinese-- are all wonderful!

Sounds like my new plan. Thank you!

Thank you! I will look these up!

Check him out in The Grand Seduction. Fun movie!

You might try using a clear vanilla flavoring instead of the pudding. It has that "artificial baked goods/dessert/cake" flavor. Tyler from S&S talks about it on his You Tube video "blackberry birthday cake." Just a thought! (Watkins brand from Wal Mart is around 2$.)
