BIG WEEK AHEAD!
Good Morning Foodies! After talking last week about not getting overwhelmed by upcoming events, I had to concentrate on my own words. When I looked at the calendar, it dawned on me that this is LABOR DAY WEEKEND. For some reason, I really thought it was the next weekend. I guess no one checked with me to see if that was okay!!!!
This is also the first football game for my LSU TIGERS! They play WISCONSIN in Houston, TX this coming Saturday night.
I decided to have the menus this week feature a little bit of appetizers, quick easy meals and sides and pop in your mouth desserts. You know what I mean—WHO WANTS TO BE IN THE KITCHEN WITH ALL THESE FABULOUS ACTIVITIES!
I will address these activities in more detail later. I want to remind everyone about the upcoming “SOIREE ROYAL”, here in Opelousas, LA. This event is put on by the OPELOUSAS-ST. LANDRY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. This is the 16th year of the annual culinary competition.
There are still tickets available for the event on September 8th. There is a social that starts at 6 p.m. and the tasting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $40.00 each.
This is a fundraiser for scholarships for ST. LANDRY PARISH GRADUATING SENIORS. The event is held at the EVANGELINE DOWNS EVENT CENTER, 2235 Creswell Lane, Opelousas, LA.
This year approximately 42 dishes from ACADIANA’S FINEST CHEFS will be featured. The chefs can compete in seven categories. The winners get cash prizes for each category. This year there will be free samplings of wines from REPUBLIC NATIONAL DISTRIBUTING COMPANY and beers from ARNAUDVILLE’S BAYOU TECHE BREWING and specialty coffees from JAVA SQUARE of Opelousas.
There is also a presentation of the “PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD FOR THE BEST OF THE BEST AMONG THE PARTICIPATING CHEFS”!
You can call the CHAMBER for information at (337)942-2683 or email them at chamberdesk@opelousas chamber.com
I was so honored last year to judge in this event and have been asked for this year. It is a fabulous job! I was so impressed by the creativity of the dishes, not to mention how fabulous they were to eat. If you want to witness something fun and grand, get a group of friends and come pass a good time! The big plus—-ALL FOR A GREAT CAUSE!
Have a great day!
