Jambalya, Crawfish Pie, Filé Gumbo

Have I ever mentioned that I really miss Louisiana food?

My sister is the best sister in the world. She and my BIL went to Baton Rouge this past weekend for the LSU spring game. On her way home she called to tell me she was bringing me a present. But she wouldn't tell me what it was!!! Look what arrived:

Two coolers full of fresh boiled crawfish. I ate some as soon as I got one of the bags open. Comfort food heaven!

I've put a bunch of them in the freezer to make étouffée, gumbo, etc. at a later date. And I have to say, this is true sisterly LOVE!
