Anybody else dig Cajun food? What’s your favorite?

My favorite would be boudin, maybe partly because you can get good stuff even at a normal grocery store. And when I get a chance I really go for etoufee or jambalaya.

I made up a big pot of red beans and rice last weekend..had ham hocks..andouille …..and plenty of tony chachere’s…reminded me of home(Lake Charles)..i like my grits and grillades too…..a nice chicken and sausage gumbo…a nice maque choux..and rice dressing…or just munching on some pickled okra…but its hard here in Mo…ordered gumbo in a restaurant and when it got there it had broccoli in it…(for color they said)…almost choked on my sweet tea!!!

Video Blog #8 – Culture vs. Islam

This week's episode is about how some parents love their culture so much that even if it conflict with Islam, they will continue to practice it. How can we complain about the situation of the Muslims if we love the parts of our culture that conflict with Islam more than we love Allah (swt)?

Where did Hillary Clinton learn to speak in 30 ethnic and regional dialects?

It’s truly amazing how she can adapt to just about any culture that she is speaking to.
In addition to her Chicago dialect her additional dialects include Irish-American, Jewish-American, Italian-American, African-American, Asian-American, Russian-American, Germanic-American, Arab-American, Spanish-American, Franco-American, British-English, Chicano-Latino, Southern, Evangelic-Christian, Black-Baptist, Migrant-Worker, North-Eastern, South-Western, Hawaiian, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Heartland-America, Cajun, Native-American, Pop-Culture, Hip-Hop, Biker, Gay-Lesbian and Canadian, and probably even more that we haven’t heard yet.
I have not been able to find any courses so far that teach that.
Do you think that she should open her own school ?

Hilary Clinton is good at transforming. She is a chameleon. I don’t know if that is a bad thing or a good thing.
