  1. Hype for the Future 167C: Cultural Blueprints of Saint James, Assumption, and Saint Martin Parishes

    Overview Within the State of Louisiana, the Parishes of Saint James, Assumption, and Saint Martin are often associated with the southern portion of the State and, of course, are disproportionately known for French heritage relative to much of the nation as a whole. The parishes are in the heart of Cajun Country, often away from the Mississippi River plantation estates, with the community at Pierre Part (Assumption Parish) home to the greatest French percentage of any municipality outside […]

    Be interesting to know if it’s just availability, or cost or style?

    Some of the nicest one-row so called #Cajun accordions have been custom built in #Louisiana over the years

    Not so, larger three-rows, or fully chromatic piano #accordion like Clifton Chénier played that made it possible to mix in blues and R&B to create #zydeco

    Early one-row 🪗 couldn’t play #blues easily so it got left out of most Black American music 🤷🏽

    #Zydeco is the exception with backstory

    🪗 didact: the author of that #bandcamp piece made a couple errors

    One row diatonic #accordion can play in more than one key if the keys don’t require the full chromatic scale

    The player does become limited beyond a few keys, and has to be more and more skilled to hide the “gaps” in keys the instrument wasn’t built to play easily in

    #Louisiana’s French fiddle music lost a lot of tunes that couldn’t be played on one-row accordions

    But not all but one key

  4. 🎶☠️🖤 My take on traditional Cajun 2-step

    "Tiens, bébé il y a un bal ce soir
    O, ouais tout le monde danser
    Moi j’ai tant envie de te voir
    Allons y, le bon temps rouler"

  5. Schriever, #Louisiana near the #Cajun town of #Thibodaux.

    Served three times a week by the sunset limited #NewOrleans - #Houston - San Antonio - Los Angeles.

    Being an optimist, I'd say the route, especially the NOLA-Houston has huge potential for a more regular several times a day service. Hoping for a similar initiative as on the recently reinstated "Mardi Gras" service between New Orleans and Mobile, AL.

  7. Long shot: anyone in Glasgow able to lend me a #Cajun t#riangle for a gig? Something like this studio-aube.com/shop/p/cajuntr – I don't have time to get one on order. Or, anyone know a #blacksmith who might make one for me?

  9. Following on from my recent purchase of a Mini Chopper, I'm re-working some classic rice or potato dishes to use keto-friendly cauliflower instead.

    First up is a Keto Friendly Jambalaya.

The stupendously credulous #MAGA morons in ‘#Cajun Country’, #Louisiana that keep re-electing #MikeJohnson to #Congress are making me think the British had an unofficial reason for the #Acadian expulsion from the Maritime area of what had been New #France during the French and Indian War: “The French Canadians can stay, but those dumbfuckers need to go!” (Joking)🤔 huffpost.com/entry/mike-johnso

    Pretty sure Woody’s recordings are mostly over on Smithsonian/Folkways,(for now)

    Some at the Library of Congress issued by Electra/Rounder in the 90s and are streaming but the extensive notes are missing 😤

    #Folkways keeps the old Arhoolie Records albums available — including tons of #zydeco #conjunto & #cajun #accordion because unlike the rest of the US folk revival, Austrian-born Chris Strachwitz was not afraid of the squeezebox

  18. The first #sourdough #bread loaf came out ok. Not as sour as I would have preferred but I figured out how to fix that.

    I always hated just throwing away the discard and didn't want a long recipe to use with it. A quick search found this super easy cracker #recipe with no fuss.

    Bonus: I used some of the #cajun #seasoning I picked up in #NewOrleans where I bought my kid some #alligator #jerky.

  20. Marchando un mini hilo sobre uso de las #borrajas para #cocinillas. 🧵
    De la #huerta a la mesa. 😀

    Más que nada es que hace algún tiempo, comenté por aquí que había cosechado borrajas para comer. Pero luego no puse ninguna foto.

    Bueno, mi costumbre es comer solo los tallos. Cocidos primero. Y salteados luego con aceite y #ajo, y unas patatas. Y, a veces, algún #pimentón tipo #cajún. Como en la foto.

    Las #patatas tradicionalmente van cocidas, a veces a la vez que la borraja. Pero últimamente me he acostumbrado a asarlas en la freidora de aire, o #airfryer, que me gusta mucho como quedan.

    Sencilla receta y muy rica. 😋
  21. When I was in music retail in the 80’s, I met a friend who compiled this tape for me of American music. He airbrushed the tape itself, and listed the tracks in the smallest, but legible writing I have seen. It’s an amazing range of work, and a precious gift that I’ve treasured ever since.
    If you get a chance, check out some of the tracks, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Neil. 🙏

  22. Living the dream! This is my homemade jambalaya, which I made for dinners on the road. I also made spaghetti, and red beans and rice. I figure I have nearly two weeks of dinners, which will save a ton of money. And it's way better than truck stop diner fare.

  23. Special Memorial #ChrisStrachwitz Episode of @AccordionNoir Radio

    Sharing bits of a 2014 interview with Chris talking about his years working with #Accordion greats like #CliftonChenier in the early days of #Zydeco

    And the monumental work Chris did at #ArhoolieRecords sharing #Cajun #Creole #Conjunto #Norteno #Bluegrass and #Trad #FolkMusic

    Thanks Chris for appreciating accordions, unlike many #FolkRevival peers who [he said] just wanted to “bang on guitars” 🎸❤️‍🔥🪗

  24. Just ordered a half case of Jack Miller's Bar-B-Que sauce because barbecue sauce in south Louisiana is unlike that dark red sauce y'all are used to. I was very confused as to what people were calling barbecue sauce because it wasn't what I had grown up on when we moved away. Jack Miller's tastes like my grandfather's homemade barbecue sauce. My mouth is watering. Can't wait!

  25. Okay the chicken etouffee came out acceptably but why did the tasty rice take an extra 45 minutes to bake!!??? Also how do you expect me to get a brown roux when I have to use the oil left over from cooking the chicken? IT'S ALREADY BROWN FROM THE SPICES!

  26. Fascinating glimpse of Dallas' past as influenced by New Orleanians in this article by UNT doctoral student @[email protected] in the Dallas Morning News

    "How one family from New Orleans brought Creole culture and cuisine to Deep Ellum"

    The Darensbourg brothers founded multiple bars and restaurants in the 1930s.

  27. #introduction

    Hi all! My name is Jeff, and I'm #softwareDeveloper and #maker in the process of relocating to #NewZealand.

    My journey through social media started with Bulletin Board Systems (#BBS) & #IRC, through LiveJournal, to Facebook, an enjoyable stint in G+, back to Facebook, and now Mastodon. Ironically I never really got into Twitter, which I understand Mastadon aims to replace.

    In my career I've worked on incredibly interesting projects like full scale helicopter simulators, small drone (#sUAS) control systems, and signal jamming technologies. I've worked with #C++ , #CSharp, #Python, #LabView.

    But what I'm most proud of has been my time volunteering for a local charity I helped found, #MakersLocal256. This #makerspace was the first in #Alabama, has been around for over 15 years, and has survived on a "pay what you can" system. Our goal was and is to make available tools and technologies to those who either can afford it better together, or simply don't have the space for something like a gigantic #laserCutter. I've learned and taught equipment there such as #3DPrinters, #soldering, #embedded projects, #IoT, #lathes, #welding, #leatherWorking, #HamRadio and #cyberSecurity.

    I've served #ML256 as both their Treasurer using systems like #GnuCash, and as a #systemsAdministrator using technologies including #Proxmox, #VMWare, #Redmine, #Owncloud, #ZoneMinder

    As a hobbyist I run my own #homelab including this instance of Mastadon, #Plex, #mqtt, #proxmoxBE

    My other hobbies include #cooking, with a focus on #sousVide and #cajun food, collecting #puzzleBoxes .
    I consume large amounts of #Sci-Fi television, #anime, and have a weakness for paranormal teenage drama series like #vampireDiaries and now some soul rotting show called #FateWinxSaga. They're just so awful I can't stop watching.

    In my youth I attended a #boardingSchool called #ASMS before Dumbledore made them cool. We had a cheerleading team for our chess team, it was baller. Our headmaster was from #NewZealand, and we plan to catch up once we get settled in.

    My wife of eight years and I met in college, and has been my best friend, travel companion, taste tester, and cheerleader. She's an amazing #cosplay artist from Tennessee who has crafted #yukatas #kimonos, outfits from #animes, and so much more.
    Her Londo Mallari from #Babylon5 is still the highest rated post of all time in r/Babylon5.

    As her handler I end up going to many of her competitions and events, our favorite being #DragonCon . As a reward for being her personal slave, I earn cosplay points, which I save up and cash in on requests. The most memorable is when I asked to be a #sandworm from #Dune. She built a 14 meter worm in the style of a Chinese dragon. It takes eight people to pilot, has been in three parades, two with Kevin J. Anderson leading our path. She carries the 16 kilogram head, with me as her second in line. It's been featured in #MakeMagazine and has been used for a movie premier at a local theatre.

    Well, that's me :) I don't intend on writing posts this long going forward, and honestly this felt like writing a CV. But hell, if you're gunna do, do it up.
