Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I did send it to you in an e-mail, just now, and sent you a message earlier, too. But just in case I'm not getting through (Yahoo is moving slowly just now down here in the lazy South) it's ceast36532 (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Cammie, I knew you wrote like a southern bell! I am from Louisiana. What part of the South are you from? I was just thinking today what I would give for some crawfish potatoes and corn!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I'm in lower Alabama... I'm not big on the crawfish, myself, although we do have them around here, too. I love gumbo, though, and crab and shrimp. Come on down and I'll buy you a bowl of luscious crab soup! Cammie > > Cammie, > > I knew you wrote like a southern bell! I am from Louisiana.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Cammie, I received both e-mails. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Cammie, Crab is my all time seafood favorite! I actually bought some lump cabmeat to blend up in a soup but couldn't bare to tarninsh the great taste while wired so I froze it to eat in a salad as soon as I can when unwired. Theres a chance I may be moving to Tennesse in a few months. I find out tomorrow. I wonder if they have crawfish there?? Jane > > > > Cammie, > > > > I knew you wrote like a southern bell!
