| What was "between the lines" is the fact that we don't rush things here,
| slow cooking is what gives Cajun Cuisine it's reputation along with it's
| unique spices, etc. You can't pressure-cook a dish in 1 hour and expect

| Etouffee for instance.

Some can, especially if they know what they are doing.  BTW when I was in
grade school we would get our knuckles cracked for speaking French instead
of English on the play ground.
