Good stew today at Mom and Dad's today. Not my favorite, boulette, but still good.
Looked through several things Dad had collected and sent some to John. Need to make more copies of other things as well. One article is all about Creole cooking in Opelousas. Looks like it was written in the 60s and in a local paper or magazine. I say that because the ads on the article are Opelousas based.
But I see no author, date or name of publication. Crap. It would be hard to cite that. Did find Revon Reed's poem about Creoles in Mamou, written in 1947. I think that was published in the Gazette or Acadian paper. It's all good stuff. Bobbe West also wrote some things in the Gazette about Creole Evangeline Parish.
The Evangeline Parish Library, main branch, has the Gazette on microfilm as well as the Daily World. Many things were written in the early years of Cajunization. See late 60s, 70s and 80s. After that it slowed down a lot. "Cajun Magic" was taking over. Hopefully John and others will stop the complete brainwashing of our area.
