Found in the Cajun & Creole section of the Food & Wine website in a featured recipe article titled "New Orleans Cocktails" & credit was given to Duggan McDonnell as the contributor. Described as "A salute to the flavors of New Orleans, this cocktail spices up Napoleon House's Pimm's Cup (Pimm's No 1, lemonade & 7-Up) w/a splash of Tabasco & a generous dose of rum or vodka." The recipe yields 8 4.5 ounce cocktails & is easily halved. Time does not include chill time. Bottoms Up!

Louisiana Green Beans (Creole Recipe for ZWT-9) image

Found at a cooking-by-country (or region) website, just reading this recipe took me back decades to a time growing up when we would pick beans from the garden & cook them until soft w/a combo of onion w/ham or bacon. I never cared when the main-course was as long as I could have a HUGE plate of those green beans. If it was my choice to make, I would definitely dbl this recipe! Enjoy!
