October 26, 2020 by George Graham 4 Comments

Peggy’s Skillet Fried Chicken

Peggy is my momma. She passed away some time ago, but not before I learned her secret to the perfect fried chicken that I affectionately call Peggy’s Skillet Fried Chicken. She was a wiz in the kitchen and taught me the basics of cooking simply. She was a patient cook and knew that time was…

Lard of the Rings: Crazy-Crisp Cajun Onion Rings

Lard of the Rings: Crazy-Crisp Cajun Onion Rings

For me, onion rings are a weakness bordering on obsession; a perfectly fried o-ring is a thing of beauty.  When dining out, I order them constantly and will even pay a couple of bucks more to substitute onion rings for fries.  While some are good, and others just acceptable, I am mostly disappointed.  Even at…

Iceberg Wedge Salad with Buttermilk Blue and Spiced Pecans

There was a time, and I remember it well, that iceberg lettuce ruled the salad world.  In those days, lettuce simply was iceberg – no options.  Today, the varieties are staggering;  mixed greens, micro-greens, arugula, frisée, romaine, endive, and on and on.  Not only are the options endless, but it seems that iceberg has gotten…

Hopper Poppers: Bacon-Wrapped Rabbit Poppers

This Hopper Popper might be the best single-bite appetizer you’ve ever tasted. A spicy jalapeno pepper filled with Brie cheese surrounds buttermilk-brined rabbit meat in a smoky bacon-wrapped package that is deep-fried golden brown. Oh yeah! Not quite sure when this whole “popper” thing burst onto the Cajun food scene, but my hunch is it…

Watermelon Bread

Watermelon Bread

Watermelon stands lining the side of the rural parish roads are an especially Southern thing.  Truckloads begin arriving as the temperature soars, and there is no better way to cool down than a slice of ice-cold watermelon on the back porch steps.  Or maybe there is: Watermelon Bread – hot out of the oven. I’ve…
