Honey Island Swamp Monster

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:39:27 -0700

Honey Island Swamp Monster

From the page: "Who was Harlan Ford?

Harlan E. Ford was the first man to report a sighting of the creature in the Honey Island swamps. He made his report in 1974, but it was back in 1963 when he first saw the critter. Harlan was also the first to come out of the swamp with a plaster cast of the creature (as seen above)
It was 1963 and Harlan Ford with his buddy Billy Mills were in the deep woods of the swamp looking for an old abandoned camp they had spotted for the air. Harlan was an Air Traffic Controller in New Orleans and he often flew over the 70,000 acres of swampy wilderness in southern Louisiana.
Today the two skilled hunters were on foot and making their way back deep toward where Harlan thought he had seen the camp. When they broke out into a clearing they stopped in awe, in front of them was a massive creature on all fours. Billy asked "What is that thing!?!" The creature heard him and stood to face the two startled men. After a few seconds of eye contact it took off into the thick brush. With rifles in hand Harlan and Billy ran to try and get another look at it. All they found was it's tracks.
Back at home Harlan told his family about the encounter, he said, "It was like nothing I'd ever seen before. Ugly and sinister and looking like something out of a horror movie. It swung around and looked at us for a moment, then tore off into the swamp. I want you to know it scared the heck out of me!" From Harlan's description the monster is seven feet tall. It's legs are slender but it's chest and shoulders were huge and it had long grayish hair on it's head and short dingy gray hair on it's body. It also had unusual eyes, Harlan said, "They were very large and amber colored and looked hard at us before running off." Harlan was an honest man and didn't care if people believed him or not."

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:05:37 -0700

(Thank you for sharing this recipe with me Ryan {aka CajunChefRyan })

From the page: "On December 11, 2008 National Public Radio broadcast a segment with an interview of Marcelle Bienvenue, co-author of the book Cooking Up A Storm, click on the link where you can read more about the book. This book is a great tribute to the city of New Orleans and the rich food heritage that continues to flourish four years after Hurricane Katrina. The recipes lost and found by the local newspaper The Times-Picayune is a response to the post-Katrina community pulling together lost recipes through the food section entitled "Exchange Alley"� where folks traded lost and found recipes.

One if the beloved recipes in the book are a very close version of McKenzie's Turtle Cookies, found on page 294 and reproduced here with a few minor variations. There is also another variation of this recipe discovered during a short Internet research and may try that one out later-for now,here is the McKenzie's Turtle Cookie recipe brought back to life again!"

LSU breaks Georgia&s heart with late score - Kansas City Star

LSU Breaks Georgia's Heart With Late Score

ATHENS, Ga. | With 69 seconds left in the game, Sanford Stadium was as loud as it had been all season. When Georgia's players trudged to the locker room after LSU's game-winning drive, there was barely a sound.

For a moment, Bulldog quarterback Joe Cox was a hero. For a moment, Georgia receiver A.J. Green had gone from star to legend. For a moment, there was a celebration.

And as quickly as it happened, it was over. No. 4 LSU answered Georgia's go-ahead touchdown with 1:09 to play, robbing Cox and the Bulldogs of their first home win over a top-5 team in a quarter-century with a two-play, 16-second drive to seal the victory.

"Our football team, if you turn your back on them, they will beat you up," Tigers coach Les Miles said. "We have competitive men, and they like to play. I am so proud of them."
