DVD Review -  The Big Brass Ring

Two independent candidates are in the final running for the Mississippi Governor's race, and because of the lack of Democrats or Republican candidates, the race is drawing a lot of attention.

Many have even speculated that Blake could have a very bright future, a future leading all the way to the ultimate big brass ring - The White House. Read our complete review...

This Weeks Cookbook - Cajun Cuisine : Authentic Cajun Recipes from Louisiana's Bayou Country

The magic and mystique behind Lousiana's Cajun (or Acadian) cuisine are completely revealed in this collection of recipes from the heart of Cajun Country: the bayous of southern Lousiana. In her introduction to Cajun Cuisine, third-generation Acadian Marie Louise Comeaux Manuel writes, "Acadian (Cajun) Cuisine is a recipe in itself. For ingredients, take the classical French cuisine, combine it with Spanish classical cuisine, blend well, take herbs and spices from France and Spain and sometimes couple with seasoning learned from the Choctaws and Chickasaws. Then be sure to add the ingenuity, the creativity and the keen taste of the refugee Acadians.... Now, add the exotic taste and magic seasoning of the African cook. Voila! This is Acadian cuisine."
