my new step mother is from lousiana,.....our christmas celebration was laced with holiday zydeco music, we had a cajun fried turkey, dirty rice stuffing, crawfish, and these wonderful green beans with brown sugar and soy sauce in them,.....(not that the green beans are cajun in the slightest,...but they were really really good)
in one of my gift bags there was also a copy of one of my favorite movies 'a love song for bobby long',......
i feel like my heart is in nola
and though i know its not exactly the way my mind remembers it,....i know my romantic idea of old buildings laced with iron work, beautifully sunken cemeteries, huge oak trees draped with spanish moss, creole and cajun cooking,....boudian and rolling rock,.....the air heavy with smoke and horns or saturated with red beans and rice and gravelly voiced blues,.......
i know this isnt the every day nola
but i still think she's my girl
