This could go either way, before or after dinner. I usually don't like the taste of most hard liquors, but the spiced rum with the amaretto was incredibly delicious! The addition of club soda makes it a nice before dinner drink, and, alternatively, the cream makes it a luscious dessert drink. (And I admit to using fat free half and half and it was great.) Thanks to Boomette's Disacolada for the inspiration! -- posted by DeeCookshttp://www.recipezaar.com/288537 Mussels Mariniere- February 19, 2008 Recipe from an old magazine article and is from the Cramond Inn, near Edinburgh, Scotland, an ancient inn built in 1670. -- posted by Celticevergreenhttp://www.recipezaar.com/287052 Creole Cocktail- February 9, 2008 From "The Art of the Cocktail". -- posted by BecRhttp://www.recipezaar.com/285154 Bon Ton Cafe (New Orleans) Bread Pudding- February 8, 2008 This is a recipe I got back in the 80's from the Bossier City (Louisiana)Police Dept cookbook. I have made it for years and everyone always loves it and request the recipe. It is a delicious old fashion bread pudding. The recipe notes that it was a favorite among the police chiefs at their convention in New Orleans. -- posted by Britt O's sweetie piehttp://www.recipezaar.com/285007 Cajun Seafood Gumbo- February 8, 2008 This is a fairly simple gumbo recipe, and could be spiced up to individual tastes with spicier sausage, or the additional cayenne. -- posted by iewehttp://www.recipezaar.com/284843 Shrimp Etouffee- February 8, 2008 I first had this dish in New Orleans. Many years later I finally came up with this recipe. If you like things spicier add more cayenne pepper or hot sauce to your liking. This is a large recipe as I make it with my students so it needs to feed a crowd. This could also be made with other seafood or chicken. Serve over hot rice. -- posted by Chef ladyinblue3http://www.recipezaar.com/284805 Hidden Treasure Chocolate Cake- February 7, 2008 Yum! Chocolate. Impresses your guests.

I serve this with white rice and warm French bread for dipping. -- posted by Kim D.http://www.recipezaar.com/284631 Spicy Grilled Shrimp Rolls With Creole Spicy Paste- February 1, 2008 Recipe by Grace Parisi, from: Grilling GuideSpeedy Rubs, Pastes, & Sauces.
