I've had the itch fo cajun. The store has some really good looking shell-on shrimp so shrimp étouffée it was. Shrimp stock, holy trinity (poblano instead of nasty green pepper), spice mix, roux, a little tomato paste, Winchester sauce and hot sauce. Over rice, of course.

Sometimes, the names for foods change from one region to another. I discovered this as a young man, when I ordered a chocolate milkshake, and when it arrived, it had no ice cream. New Englanders are weird.

An example you may know: Are they cokes, sodas, or soft drinks?

Tonight I made sandwiches. Depending on where you are, they are called hoagies, grinders, or subs. Good and soft rolls, toasted, thin coating of mayo on the bottom, deli meats, swiss or provolone cheese, toasted again, tomato, lettuce, black olives, s & p, olive oil and red wine vinegar. Easy, tasty, all you basic food groups, and little clean up.

My Philadelphia aunts called these hoagies. (They also pronounced pecans 'PEE-cuns'. )

I like your bread to filling ratio. I wish I could find bread like that. And, the addition of vinegar and oil is a winner. I just know that was a good hoagie.

A customer brought me a Subway sandwich like 5 years ago.....and I fell in love with it.   Every time we stop at Subway it's what I get..

Steak (double meat)

Provolone 

Jalapenos 

Mayonnaise 

Toasted 

Doesn't matter which kinda bread it's on.
