Etouffe? God Bless You!

My fellow Yav’s and I live above one of the other volunteers. Her name is Susan and as she keeps telling us, she is old enough to be our mom. She cooks for us sometimes and yesterday she told us she’d make Crawfish Etouffe for dinner. “I think we have enough stuff that we can make it without anybody havin’ to go to the store,” she said. The concern being that lines for some grocery stores stretch way out into the parking lot. We did actually pick up a few things while we were out but Monica, a Delta Service Corps volunteer, found one with a short line. When we got back Susan had already started on the rice. As we sat down to dinner, we all remarked about how good it was. “So this is called Crawfish Etouffe, right?” “NO, she said, “it’s called Susan’s wonderful mix of hurricane rations.” We all laughed. Wonderful, indeed! God Bless you Susan for being our house mother.
