If you've been following the news, you will know that many Louisianians are displaced because of flooding after days of torrential rain last week. If you're able, a donation of any sort will be more than appreciated. New Orleans' television station WDSU has put together a partial list of organizations actively working to help out, and asking for specific donations -- it includes northern Louisiana efforts as well as those closer to home.

The World Championship Crawfish Étoufée Cookoff is this weekend in Eunice; in advance of the Sunday festivities we are sponsoring a cooking demonstration stage at the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center, a division of the Jean Lafitte National Park and Preserve. Chef Dustie Latiolais will be cooking up and sampling some great crawfish dishes Saturday afternoon, beginning about 3:30. Stop by if you're in the area! The cookoff takes place on Sunday.

Enjoy this week's recipes, share them with family and friends, and as always, let me know what's on your mind.
