After our two-year courtship, a whirlwind wedding, and the beginning of our life together, my new wife and I decided to take a vacation from Oklahoma and all my semi-capable abilities. Wanting to get away, but not too far, I took my wife (and don’t forget Sean, natch) to see her kin down in bayou country, right around Lafayette, Louisiana.
As part of our Cajun cause of matrimonial celebration, we were invited to her extended family’s home, as part of the yearly reunion where three things were always guaranteed: family, friends, and the best crawfish boil you have ever seen.
But, to be fair, I had never been to a crawfish cookout.
