Crawfish . . .

We ate at Pappadeaux's last night in Fort Worth.  We dined on a Pappadeaux's Greek salad for two and then had our individual orders.  I got the Crawfish special and Judie got her deluxe Shrimp and Crab cocktail entrée which included Avocado but no onions.


As you can see it is just a modicum of Crawfish with a piece of boiled corn and a couple of Irish Potatoes.  I fished out the vegies and put them on a side plate and Judie chopped up the potatoes into bite sizes.  We both ate on the potatoes and I ate the corn, umm, and the Crawfish.  She fished out one Crawfish and ate it complaining it was to spicy for  her.

We had not been to Pappadeaux's for a while, we avoid the place when the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo is going on.  The Texans go wild for the place as if they can not get that kind of food out in the hinterlands of Texas.  The show had finished a couple of weeks ago and true enough on a Tuesday night things were not to crowded.  Yet, as always, the place was loud and filled up gradually while we dined.  We go early and leave early.

This time we stopped at Central Market on the way home to get Emely's bread.  Emely is the house cleaning lady and she likes a certain kind of bread that Central Market bakes.  Judie can not seem to get her to take a pay increase, she has been our cleaning lady for about four years now, so Judie prepares a meal for her with extra Jalapeno's, Avocado's, Strawberry's, a rotisserie Chicken warmed up.  Emely eats what she wants and bags the rest to take home.  Her family now kind of expects the largess from Morrison's every two weeks.  She comes on a Monday, we set it up for her and quickly leave the house and let her do her thing.

While at Central Market we also go pot plants, cheese, the bread, sampled some Central Market Ice Cream and got desert.  We choggied on home to feast on desert and it was almost time for bed.  Well almost time for me to go to bed, Judie does not come to bed until the wee hours of the morning.

But it is Crawfish season so might as well eat up.  Only a few places have them but they are not hard to find in this city which is heavily infested with Cajuns.  We have Razoo's, Pappadeaux's and the Flying Fish which all serve Crawfish.  And yes, no one around here but our brethren for the Frozen Nawth says Crayfish.

Bon Appetite!
