I am looking forward to the annual LTPA summit next week in Baton Rouge; several hundred travel, tourism, and hospitalty professionals gather to explore new trends, hear what our Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne has to say about the coming year for Louisiana tourism, and of course spend time catching up with each other. I've been involved for more than eight years now, and have made some good friends in the industry.

I picked this week's recipes with hot summer days in mind; none of them take too much trouble, but they all pack a lot of flavor. Send me some of your favorite, late-summer dinner ideas; I'd love to know what you're cooking.

	Jumbo Lump Gulf Crab Au Gratin Susan Benton, who runs the popular blog 30AEats.com out of Pensacola, FL provided the recipe when the people at Lodge Manufacturing were putting together their cook book Lodge Cast Iron Nation. Click to forward this email and recipes.

	Classic Diner Burger Americans eat close to 15 billion hamburgers, in one form or another, each year. This recipe, from Diner: The Best of Casual American Cooking, suggests adding some ice water to the meat to help keep the patties extra-juicy. See this week's tip for perfectly seasoned burgers.

	Buffalo Shrimp with Blue Cheese Dip I have always been of the mind that spicy-hot food actually cools you down on a hot day, and we sure could use it here in New Orleans. Bonus- there's a link to my favorite blue cheese dressing, also. Click to forward this email and recipes.
