Louisiana T-NET get together ????

[GrayCloud]

Sammy's is where they cook Cajune, Seafood, FIsh and Steaks with pride and quaility. The steaks are choice meat, cooked over an open flame and seasoned just right. The Crawdads are washed like I would do them, season and boiled just right. And no, you cannot smell the cooked Crawdads when you walk through the door, because they are properly washed. All their dishes are outstanding, we have never had a bad experience there and we have been know to drive two hours one way, just to eat.

The one in Baton Rouge is located on Highland.
The one in Zackery is located on 964, I think that is correct.

All that want to go Friday, follow the Gray Z71 about 6PM.

PS. Prices are not bad at all.

Just stumbled upon this!

Dan and I would love to participate, but Easter weekend is out. Too much going on. Let us know if another weekend is available and we will try our best to be there.

Noodle, I was just thinking if this get together is a hit, why not do it several times a year in different locations of the state. Wouldn't even have to do all what we got planned. Just a meeting place, sit, chat & eat.

Sorta like our military "ROMEO" breakfasts/suppers we have once a month. Now don't laugh..."ROMEO" stands for "Retired Old Men Eating Out", I was the first female retiree years after the guys so I didn't think they needed to change the name. Now there's 2 females dining out with these guys, but we still insist on keeping that name.

I'm available, 'Rat, just let us know what, when and where. Even if Dan can't get away, I'm available. But remember, I'm not retired yet! ha! I'll just do my best to be wherever, whenever. We can do one over here at our place now and then, too. Just gotta get organized and retired! Just keep me informed. - Noodle

Hey Gator, Tensas and I will let you know asap. Looks like some Florida folks may show up. Heard they taste like chicken. Well, as long as they eat crawdads like us, they will be okay. Who knows, they may even teach us a thing or two.

Apparently you've never seen a FL chicken.......

During a couple decades of police work I actually did have a couple perps bite me. After they regained consciousness, neither one of them mentioned any poultry flavor!?! But then, I moved to FL from MO, so I'd probably taste like a cross between a karkaghne and a grizzled Ozark razorback. If somebody could choke any down it would be a sure recipe for indigestion.

Anyway, I caught crawdads all the time back home, mostly for bass bait. Haven't been fishing down here yet, but it's just as well. I'd have to fight my wife for 'em, cause she likes "mud bugs" Cajun seasoned and steamed.........

As for teachin' anyone "a thing or two", it just depends on what they wanna know.........

Oh yeah; Judy, we'd be coming in on Friday and staying at a nearby hotel or B&B, so any recommendations would be great. Thanks.

It seems that the Park is booked up. Where else can we look in that area? May have to drive down that morning. It being a major holliday.

 

[River Rat]

Sorry to hear the park is booked. I spoke with them myself, and they say it's normally a 11 mos advance reservation Oh well, so much for that.

Ponchatoula has only one hotel...Microtel

Bed & Breakfast Inn...I spoke with Cathie, she owns this B&B called "My Home Is Your Home", she's welcoming anyone who wants to stay there. http://www.bandbla.com/index.html She did mention of the Easter Parade for that Saturday, but I believe at the time of the parade we will be at the Museum, the parade should be over before we get to Paul's Cafe.

Called Paul to give him a heads up that his cafe will be getting invaded around lunch time. http://www.paulscafe.net/index.html

Just trying to stay as close as possible to the area, if anyone wants a room in the Hammond area,

All 3 of the places listed above are members of the Chamber of Commerce...that's why they're posted here. There's other places in Hammond, I can get listing if you want.

From a not-too-frequent poster, the overnighters might have better luck seeking accomodations in Hammond. Mrs. Fury was telling me about those crawfish beignets last Saturday. What do ya put on those? Powdered sugar or cocktail sauce?

 

[River Rat]

Hey CopCop,

There's so much traffic congestion in the Hammond area, and I was thinking that the Ponchy motel would be better for all. Unless one was to choose a hotel right off I-55 in Hammond. I will give a listing of those if anyone requests it.

I never had the crawfish beignet, I would assume you would have the cocktail sauce to dip it in. I've had the strawberry beignets, it's sprinkled with powdered sugar and you have whipped cream to dip into. Yummy!

You're coming too, I hope!

RR

 

[CopCop]

I'll be there, too, RR! And oops! Mrs. Fury was telling me about the strawberry beignets, I must have crawfish on my mind! I hear Berry Patch has Bananas Foster filled beignets, too.

 

[Juanmoretime]

What RR, no camping in your yard with the new calves? We could take turns feeding and give you a break. LOl!
Wish I could get invited to this!!!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I haven't been begged to come
Oh , Boo Hoo Hoo!

[River Rat]

Everyone's invited to this little get together, no major hunt, prizes and stuff like that. It's just to meet, eat and enjoy each others company. Spouses are welcomed too.

Wish I could get invited to this!!!

Steve, as the quote says above "Everyone's Invited" that includes YOU!! Come on down!!

What time are we meeting at the museum?

 

[ACE250]

Is the 11th ok with everyone? Easter Sunday is the 12th, so I was thinking it might be a bad weekend if you have Easter Sunday plans.

Wayne will open the museum for 9:00, our tentative plans to gather there, tour the museum ($3.00 per person), Wayne did ask for members to try not to pay in $20s, he will not have that much change on him. Go to Paul's Cafe eat lunch, dessert (snack) at Berry Patch, tour the Collinswood Museum, and if everyone is up to par a possible run to Frenier (about 20 miles down I-55) to detect that area. Wayne will try to come up with a better hunting area if possible.

[MrsFury]

Thank you Ace. I guess I ain't sleeping in again until winter.

 

[ACE250]

I am going to try to be there so close to home how can i miss it.....lol

 

[nfunk]

Hey Y'all count me in! One question, I remember many years ago somebody was MDing in the Frenier/Peavine area and got into a lot of trouble with the law. Not sure what the circumstances were.
