Soon after I moved to the wonderful region of North Louisiana, I became homesick for many things, including Cajun food. As a child, I took my mother's wonderful cooking for granted. Once I moved away from home, I looked forward to visiting and enjoying anything she cooked. Although crawfish boils and couchon de laits involved tasty food and fun with family and friends, a more common meal was smothered steak or chicken with rice and gravy, and sometimes, delicious crawfish etouffe. One of the staples my mother sent to college with me was my beloved Tony Chachere's seasoning. My mother and father-in-law jokingly accused me of sprinkling some of the spicy seasoning on my breakfast cereal.
