Jambalaya Pasta is blasphemous! Although the "ya" does not mean "rice" -
jambalaya is a rice dish. It's appalling that any self-respecting restaurant
would serve some of the J ingredients OVER pasta (OMG - bowtie pasta) and
call it jambalaya. In Houston, things are almost as bad when it comes to
Cajun and Creole culinary creations. Jambalaya is offered at a local lunch
jernt - but it's more like chicken in a buttery gravy, served over rice (at
least they used rice). Another local favorite is NO-style red beans and
rice, served (GASP) w/ chopped onions and grated cheese, ala chili! I have a
hard time even passing

Enjoy the remainder of the trip - even though you won't be biking, I'm sure
it will still be chock-full of interesting adventures.
