Yup. Dirty rice. As a man who was born in Baton Rouge and raised by
natives of South Louisiana, I am a major fan of rice in almost any
form. And dirty rice is the very definition of comfort food in
modom's dictionary.

However, I am married to a woman who adheres (somewhat) to South Beach
and who does not like chicken livers at all. Therefore, I eat dirty
rice about as often as George Bush changes his mind. Seldom is an
overstatement of the frequency that dirty rice gets served here.

BUT as I type this note, D is in the kitchen with a passel of chicken
livers, rice, onions, a 33-year-old copy of River Roads cookbook, etc.
making a big ole pan of dirty rice just for me! She's listening to
Ray Wylie Hubbard's latest CD and frying up chicken livers in a pan.
For me.

It must be true love.

Happy for you! I absolutely love chicken livers, but not dirty rice. Go
figger.

True love or to blave? Why push your luck? Maybe she'd like any kind of
sausage vice chicken livers. I know it's a variation, but I'm sure the
ur-cajun, having sausage and no livers, would not have said "we can't
do dirty rice."

The funny thing is I one of those that think there isn't enough onions on
the planet to make liver, any liver eatable. With that said I love dirty
rice and boudin (made with pork shoulder & pork liver). It has never made
sense to me at all, how I can love those and gage on liver by itself.

I don't really like liver altogether by itself. It must have onion, at
least, and depending on the preparation, other seasonings. I love chopped
liver and chopped chicken livers, liver (calve's or pork) and onions with
bacon, liver pate' of various ilk, and something that my family used to
make called "liver pudding" (like a coarse pate') which was made of pork
liver and pork shoulder, and seasoned with onion and sage. Another dish I
like is sauteed chicken livers with onions, peppers, and fresh tomatoes.

Wayne the liver pudding sounds a bit like pate de campagne, except for
the sage. Do you know the history of the recipe? And could you share
the recipe?

D's dislike for liver is easily overcome by her love all things
French. In France I have seen her eat many a liver pate snack, not to
mention fois gras. Hell, I even saw her eat boudin noir (blood
sausage) once.

Yes, it is rather like that, but cooked differently. Growing up, I knew
nothing about paté, but later realized the similarity. Michael, I'll be
glad to post it, but I need to refer back to my mother's notes. I'll do
that quite soon.

It's funny what people will eat given other factors. I find that true with
myself as well.

The recipe I've used for dirty rice for umpteen years uses ground up
chicken gizzards. SO had never heard of it before he met me. He is now
a convert.

More than once. I can do most of the parts. Princess Buttercup is my
weakest.

How about a nice mutton lettuce and tomato sandwich where the mutton is nice
and lean? And the tomatoes, so perky! LOL Have fun storming the castle!

Nice. I hope you got to see Mandy Potemkin's one-man show a few years
back. Inigo Montoya kept creeping into his routine throughout. I've
always been suspicious of celebrity and stardom but I was amazed by how
this man could fill a stage.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

Hmmmmmmm. What do you think I think it means? I think I meant that
some people have a presence; Potemkin's is very large. You can even see
it in his Crestor ad--ads that I usually refuse to watch.

It's just another line from the movie, The Princess Bride.

All those prescription drug ads are to be avoided.

Must be. I hope you were good to her after all that, Michael. A woman
who would do that for her man deserves whatever she loves most. :-)
