My first year in Maryland, when I was working outside of DC, my mom sent a king cake to work. I told everyone in my office about the tradition, and they all thought it was cool -- except for this one wacko, anitsocial dude that everyone hated -- and we had a lot of fun eating bits of it all day and waiting to see who would get the baby. NO ONE got the baby. My coworkers thought I'd made it up. I complained to my mom that she'd sent me a defective king cake. Then over a year later, after I told my mom not to send the king cake to work after the no baby/every-on-thinks-I'm-playing-a-joke-on-them fiasco, the anti-social guy was fired, and we found the baby next to his computer when we were scavanging his office for furniture and supplies. F***er.
No, but the people in South Central L.A. are always looking for a good excuse to take the day off. :lol: It's a good day for some carnitas, lomo chipotle, and just for tiga, some birria. If you like seafood, then try some huchinango or pescado pirata. La Perlita will be busy today. :thumb: Geaux Tigers
You know ma country bumpkin azz doesn't even know what all that stuff is. :hihi: My parents used to get so perturbed with my sister and me when they'd take us to a restaurant to eat out once in a blue moon and we'd want to order HAMBURGERS! :dis: My kids are 9 & 12 and once and a while say, "Dad, let's go eat some lobster". My darlings are spoiled spoiled, but that's why daddy and mommy work.......right??:hihi:
Well, I would rather have some cracklins, boudin, crawfish baguettes, beignets and chicory, and maybe a little softshell poboy w/ ettoufe'.:thumb:
Okay country bumpkin Here's a translation. Carnitas=Shredded Seasoned Pork (mmmmn, my favorite!) Lomo chipotle=Roasted pork sauteed w/onions, tomatoes, garlic, & chipotle Birria=Goat in spicy red sauce Huchinango=Whole red snapper (awesome with some mango salsa) Pescado Pirata=A whole catfish fried and topped with seasoned sauce Now if Cali Girl can try some cajun specialties, then your c.b. azz can try somethin' a lil' south of the border. :wink:
Re: Okay country bumpkin You can keep the Birria. I don't eat goats. :shock: I can handle the Huchinango cuz I love me some Red Snapper. I will cut a piece of snapper off while cleaning it and eat it raw sometimes. Mango salsa....ain't that what the cave man ordered on the Geico commercial?:lol:
Re: Okay country bumpkin Now you know us coonasses will eat anything! :thumb: Have you ever eaten goat bar-b-qued? It's my favorite but don't reheat it.......has to be off the pit. It's not AS good as ribeyes but comparable. If you like pork chops, the chops have much more flavor. :thumb: Geeez man! :hihi:
Re: Okay country bumpkin I did have something that must've been kinda like this once but the locals called it "Huchi Momma". :hihi:
