Pat: I sent you an email with the French accent marks. For food that is spicy we would generally say “mais, gardes, il est bien assaisonne, oui!” For a liquid (wine etc.) you would hear “mais, il est tres piquant, mais delicieux (bon).”

“burning up the road” would be “aprés bruler le chemin” or “aprés rodailler les chemins.”

Jim,
I passed the Cajun version of “Au Soleil Levant…” along to my 90 year old father a couple of weeks ago, as it describes perfectly his long-standing routine since “retiring” 36 years ago. = Il est toujours au jardin chacque jour, “au soleil levant jusuq’au soleil couchant.” He thoroughly enjoyed it, and readily admitted it was much more “readable” than standard french for him. Merçi encore!

I enjoyed your story.
(sounds like “kush kush”) fried corn meal. We added milk and some sugar.
We also had fried corn meal for breakfast and “clabber” that my mother had made.
