So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Locating Cajun Restaurants Avon By The Sea

By Donna Lee


Dining out can often be expensive. As such, it is often best to research various Cajun restaurants Avon By The Sea before booking a reservation. For, while there are a number of restaurants in the area, many are better than others.

When it comes to Cajun and creole cuisine, many food enthusiasts and tourists envision restaurants in New Orleans, Louisiana. While this is the case, many chefs around the world have been incorporating these styles for decades. During which time, Cajun and creole cooking became popular with home chefs, personal chefs and those working in fine dining establishments.

Like with California cuisine and macrobiotic based diets, the focus is predominately on local ingredients and simplicity. In most cases, an authentic meal will include three pots. One pot being equal to an entree, one in which steamed rice is featured, and the last being focused on shrimp, pork or sausages mixed with starches, vegetables or both.

The Holy Trinity of food refers to bell peppers, onions and celery in Cajun and creole cooking. With the only difference between most entrees being that a French creole dish tends to use carrot and black pepper. While both dishes have some spice, there tends to be more spice used in creole cooking than in traditional Cajun cuisine.

Creole cooking became popular with the British as early as 1755. After which, a number of these individuals settled in the southern area of Louisiana. Once settled, many began to notice that the climate had a negative effect on the outcome of most all recipes. As a result, many original recipes have now gone through renditions with regard to cooking methods and flavors which are inline with the Louisiana climate.

In the 20th century, the cuisine saw somewhat of a revolution in which chefs began experimenting with different spices and flavorings. After which, the term creole became associated as having began in New Orleans. However, the foods now known as creole are far more difficult to create and spicier than earlier versions. Also, while Cajun and creole are believed to be the same, Cajun is often more simple in creation and taste with creole being more complicated and flavorful.

While barbecue and steak have always found a home in Texas, there are also areas in New Jersey which offer great barbecue. In cooking Texas barbecue, there are often a number of marinades, dry rubs and sauces. Whereas, East coast and Louisiana chefs often prefer to use spices similar to those used in traditional creole cuisine.

There are several ways to determine the better restaurants in any area. One of which is to peruse local online guides such as Zagat, Yelp and others which can provide contact information, menus and reviews. In other cases, it can often be beneficial to discuss the quality of various establishments with locals. In either case, those looking to dine out can find information related to a number of different restaurants before booking a reservation, or walking in to what might be a restaurant with poor quality food, service or both.
