Cajun/Italian... I do this similarly with a good, thick tomato sauce I've posted and serve over rice or pasta. Good food is so good and has limitless interpretations.


Oh, I know my Dad would love this on a bowl of grits. I wonder if I could sneak it into the Hospice Center. I'd probably have half the staff following me down the hall. But Daddy would be a happy camper. Thanks for the memory jog. Now, I have to get the fixin's.


That looks amazing ...
