Crawfish and other Cajun Craziness

We have friends in town from Baton Rouge right now, so if my voice sounds funny over the next couple of days it's because I'm doped up on caffeine and ginseng trying to keep the lack of sleep from making me a total zombie. My voice cracked once on Kidd's show today, but I plowed through hoping you wouldn't notice, or so you would just think there was something wrong with your radio. But other than that, I'm okay with the three hours of sleep. I'm not a zombie. Just a tad loopy, which I'm sure will become more intense (and entertaining) as the weekend goes on. Sleep just gets in the way when you're bonding with good friends. And when the margaritas tell you that you you're a party animal, and that staying out just a little while longer won't ruin ya. No time for sleep.

The talking margaritas came from Uncle Julios at Keller Springs and the Tollway last night. Mmm mmm good. The fajitas were great too. I think I've had chicken fajitas just about everywhere in Dallas now and I've love them everywhere. These Baton Rouge friends are used to crawfish pies and all sorts of other crazy culinary creations that the peeps in cajun country can't help but grow accustomed to. I love the spice in cajun food, but it's all the little critters in it that I don't care for. Eating critters is way outside my comfort zone. Chicken fajitas on the other hand, well I could easily overdose. A chicken isn't a critter that curls up when it's cooked. Eeww. But since I've become aware that eating crawfish is outside my comfort zone, I'm going to make a much larger effort to make myself eat them. Dang that self-awareness. But I don't have to love 'em.

I'm happy that my cajun friends like mexican food. We've been to the Chipotle in Frisco twice already, Cristina's once, Uncle Julios last night, and Angela and I still want to take them to Mi Cocina. We're going to see Crash at the Angelika in Plano later today, so maybe we'll walk over to that Mi Cocina on Legacy. By that time I will have digested last night's fajitas and I'll be ready for the sunset style fajitas at Mi Cocina. Way better than crawfish.

Have a good weekend ya all!
