Texarkana Texas… Dry county…. But Texarkana Arkansas is across the street. You don’t get more east Texas than that.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Georgia is drowning this summer. And you may discover yet that the sun is your enemy even there. But we KNOW it’s the enemy here… 😉

Before you draw any conclusions about the Texas/Georgia comparison...

This has been a really, really weird year for Georgia. Seems to be the rainiest one in living memory, and not quite as warm as usual. I swear we've had a thunderstorm 6 days out of 7 since May.

If you look at it on a map it looks like a front from the Atlantic, and a front from the north have been colliding all summer just south of the Smokies. Thing is I'm not sure what exactly makes this year different than usual - unless the jet stream is acting funny.

Hey! I’m looking forward to more tangents like these. I learned more about Texas in this blog post than I ever did in school.

Glad to hear everything turned out fine. Well, relative to the not burning down, not to the cost of things. Not burning down is good.

I stop by the blog occasionally. If you're motivated would love to hear about Mowgli's spill.

@Mikaela

I intended to put the crawfish in and just heat them a few minutes, since they were already cooked. Just to blend the flavors. And then I forgot to turn the rice on. But they didn't get rubbery. I've had shrimp and crawfish that got pretty chewy, which is why I always put them in last. But oddly, these didn't. Go figure.

The recipe sounds interesting, except that I have been taught to not let Shellfish cook for long( just a couple of minutes), since they get chewy otherwise. Well. Some experimenting is clearly needed

That’s way more cooking than I ever do, but I must say crawfish is one of the things I miss about Louisiana, even after thirty-some years in Texas. Never have found crawfish here that tasted anywhere near as good as beer trays of boiled crawfish (and the occasional potato) in a converted gas station in New Iberia.
