I'm starting to get better from most recent back problem so last Friday we decided to get out of the house and take a ride. Our ride took us down through the scatters and LaRue-Pine Hills. The last several times we've tried to go up to Inspiration Point the road has been under repair but this time it was open. It's been a long long time since I've been up there and the Glue doesn't remember ever being up there but I think we did it when our daughter was in middle school. Anyway it was a great drive on a beautiful day.
We ordered pick up from Bottom's Up. I went with fish and the Glue went with fried chicken. We both ordered chips and slaw as sides. They said it was be about a half hour so we took a short trip down through the bottoms area. Once we picked up our food and got it home the fish and chips didn't travel very well and seemed kind of soggy and not that great however the Glue's chicken was real good. During our road trip the Glue mentioned that Rose's Bourbon Rail had good and the next day I found out they had cajun which got both of us wanting to go since it's hard to find cajun around here. We couldn't get down there until yesterday (Monday) and that's their crawdad day. Neither of us are big crawdad fans but luckily they also had gumbo so we ordered a large gumbo, a small red beans and rice and boudin balls. On the way down we took a quick detour to check out the spillway and timed it almost perfect getting to Rose's. I walked up and the owner said it would be a couple more minutes and by the time I was paying for it the cook came out with our order. Neither of us had ever tried boudin balls which seemed similar to hush puppies. I liked these better than hush puppies but it's not something I'll get again soon. We were both surprised with the red beans and rice when we opened the container and weren't even sure what it was until I stirred it. Most places make their red beans and rice real thick and neither of us are big fans of them that way. This was thin and juicy and when put on the rice it was real good. The Glue was a big fan of the juice. The star of the meal was the gumbo. We both really liked it and for $10 you get 12 ounces of rice and 20 ounces of gumbo which is enough for both of us. We can't wait to go back and try the etouffee and hope they continue doing the cajun for the long haul.
