Ah yes…Another week of the Culinary Arts Certificate Program at BU has come to an end. On a personal note, I still did not get my bed.

I may be on vacation, but I still managed to find time to develop a new recipe. After a long day of travel and some exploration in New Orleans, my aunt and I headed to her house in Lafayette, which is about a two hour drive. When we got to the house, we were hungry…
