On Sunday, we journeyed to Eunice Louisiana for an authentic boucherie with friends Marc and Ann Savoy. At noon, the pig was slaughtered. By four we were eating barbecue, backbone stew, boudin and cracklins, and all the fixins. I've never seen yams presented in so many varieties. The Turbodog flowed, and the jam session of young and old musicians provided a musical backdrop, all day as we met up old friends and made new ones.
On the way, we stopped briefly at the amazing Step-N-Strut, creole trailride gathering at the old Evangeline Downs racetrack in Carencro. This was the second such event. The first took place last year at the new Evangeline Downs, which proved too small for the 10,000 creole cowboys and friends who gathered. This year there were even more, as evidenced by the thousands who rode their mounts in what has to be the world's largest and longest creole trailride.
