Chaque fois mo veux cĂ©lĂ©brer eun âMoment,â mo pense Ă mo mangĂ© favori. Â
Ăa fait beaucoup de bouffe, mon ami, mais câest comme ça mo marche. Â
Mo garde mo favoris dans eun livre â eun livre de cuisine qui ressemble Ă eun encyclopĂ©die.
Asteur, ma famille commence Ă sortir dâeun mauvais temps. Â
GrĂące Ă notâ Seigneur, notâ Grand MĂ©decin, ça va âmieux.â Â
Quand le Bon Dieu te donne eun pâtit soulagement, tu rĂ©ponds avec eun bon couvillion.
Asteur câest notâ Happy Couvillion.
Simple. Basique. La vraie bouffe du bayou.
Mo fais toujours ça en trois: Â
coleslaw, maque choux, pis les lima. Â
Pis mo veux toujours eun pâtit âfrit Ă cĂŽtĂ©â â poisson ou chevrettes, nâimporte lequel fait lâaffaire.
AprĂšs ça, eun pâtit sucrĂ©, Â
pis eun tasse fraĂźche de Cajun in a box, torrĂ©faction foncĂ©e, bien moulu. Â
Un jour mo va commencer Ă torrĂ©fier moâmĂȘme juste pour lâarĂŽme dans la maison.
Ăa, câest notâ dĂźner aujourdâhui â Â
eun cĂ©lĂ©bration tranquille, eun merci, Â
pis eun rappel que la guérison vient lentement, mais sûrement, sur le Bayou.
Any time I want to celebrate a âMoment,â I think of my favorite meal. Â
Thatâs a lot of food, my friend, but thatâs just how Iâm built. Â
I keep my favorites in a book â a cookbook that looks like an encyclopedia.
Today, my family is finally getting past a rough spell. Â
Thanks to our Lord, the Great Physician, things are looking âbetter.â Â
And when the Good Lord gives you a little mercy, you answer with a good couvillion.
So today, itâs our Happy Couvillion.
Simple. Basic. True bayou fare.
I always build it in threes: Â
coleslaw, maque choux, and limas. Â
And I always like a little âfried on the sideâ â fish or shrimp, either one works.
Then a little something sweet, Â
and a fresh cup of Cajun in a box, dark roast, ground just right. Â
One of these days Iâll start roasting my own beans just for the aroma in the house.
This will be lunch today â Â
a quiet celebration, a thankâYou meal, Â
and a reminder that healing comes slow but sure on the Bayou.
