Last chance to get something from Teet's. I'm going tomorrow morning so go to www.teetsfoodstore.com/ and have a look around and let me know if you want anything.

Do you give gifts and or gift baskets to your customers, clients and vendors every holiday season? If so, I can make the rounds and deliver them for you. If not, let's start a new tradition and show them how valuable they are.

Thinking about making a run to Teet's in Ville Platte next week. If anyone wants anything get on their site and let me know what you want.

With the holiday season in full swing things get busy. There are parties, dinners, parades and all sorts of events to attend. Add to that all of the errands needing to be run. You can have your cake and eat it too. Better Call Paul!

I know it's pretty nasty in our area today but it won't last long so get ready to get those Christmas decorations up! I've done two houses so far and am ready for more. Better Call Paul!

Here comes Santa Claus! While "he" is getting the presents together the rest of the to-do list is being neglected. That is unless you give me a call.

If you've never had a smoked ponce you haven't lived. These bad boys are out of this world. Teet's is an institution in Ville Platte and the surrounding area. If you find yourself out that way, you should stop in and see all the goodies they have.

With Thanksgiving over you might be looking at all the leftovers and wondering what to do. Well unless you have a son-in-law that knows what to do with a turkey carcass you will probably start slicing that leftover bird and making sandwiches. Stop! I have three words for ya: GUM FREAKING BO!!!

Boil that bad boy down, bones and all, for the stock.
Pull the bones out and leave the meat in.
In a cast iron skillet make the roux and add the trinity.
Add a good andouille to the stock.
Add the roux to your taste.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over Louisiana rice.

Everybody has a little twist to their gumbo but you get the idea.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving Day and once it's gone it will officially Christmas party season. Whether it's at the office or at home, give me a call and let me help you put it together.

There's nothing quite like the cool sunny days of the fall and winter around here. There's also nothing quite like the cold, damp and rainy days that we get during those seasons. An unfortunate side effect of those nasty days is the cold and flu that gets passed around. As a parent and husband I know first hand that even when you're sick things still need to get done. The next time you get ill take care of yourself. Take off work and call me. I'll get the groceries, errands and anything else done. I can even pick up a hot bowl of gumbo from your favorite restaurant.

I hope all you hunters put a whipping' on what you were out there shooting at! Here's a killer egg roll recipe that my neighbor gave me:

1 Bag of Broccoli Slaw
1Package of Egg Roll Wrappers
1 to 3 Ratio of Ground Pork to Ground Deer (One Pond Total)
Vegetable Oil
Soy Sauce
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Ground Ginger (optional)
1 Egg Beaten (optional)

Brown and season the meat to taste in a pan then mix with the broccoli slaw in a large pot or bowl. I always go heavy on the meat and light on the slaw because I'm a carnivore but you can mix it to your preference.
Lay out and fill the wrappers by spooning the mixture onto the wrapper just above the corner closest to you.
Next rap the left and right corners over the mixture.
Fold the corner closest to you over the mixture.
Roll this forward leaving a small amount of the corner farthest from you exposed.
With a brush or your finger (like I use), smear the beaten egg over the exposed corner then complete the roll to seal it. If you don't have an egg, water works fine.
Fill a frying pan with enough oil to go half way up the egg rolls when you have several going cooking in the pan. About 1/4 inch should do.
At just shy of medium heat, fry them to a golden brown, set them aside to drain and enjoy. I buy duck sauce but I have also had them with just about every other Asian sauce and have yet to find one that I didn't like.

Let me know if you liked this recipe!

It's hunting season! Let me handle the chores so you can get to the camp. Don't forget to make time to sight in your rifle or bow as well. Good luck!

Next week the kids will all be out of school for the holiday. If you need to be there for them, I'll be there for you. This is also when many families go out of town to visit relatives or for vacation. Snow skiing is particularly popular with South Louisianians during Thanksgiving (and Mardi Gras) for some reason. If you plan to leave town give me a shout. I can check on your house, pick up mail and even care for your pets. Have chores or repairs that need to get done while you're out? I got it.

Helped out a real nice lady (Miss Lily) the other day. Her husband is 91 and needs special attention which keeps her and several other people occupied. I was more than happy to move some furniture and take care of some things that they just can't get around to doing.

Thanksgiving is upon us! Did you get your turkey? If not BETTER CALL PAUL! Remember that they can take several days to thaw if you buy them frozen.

With the weather clearing up a little I bet there are lots of folks wanting to get out and enjoy it. If time is your only obstacle, Better Call Paul! Let me come up with the hours you'll need!

I was at Calandro's earlier. They just put out some of their most popular specialty items in the meat counter. Pinwheels, stuffed pork tenderloin and stuffed boneless chicken thighs. They go very quickly so If you're up for an easy and delicious meal tonight, BETTER CALL PAUL!

Got flyers out all over Mid City and more to put out. I even have one on the window in Calandro's on Government. That explains why I have been a patron since I was a kid. My daughter was in the store three days after birth! Paul's tip for the day, ALWAYS GET TO KNOW YOUR BUTCHER(S)!

Have you ever forgotten to pick up cookies or goodies for your kid's school party? Forgotten to bring an appetizer for an office party? Need to get doughnuts or pizza for an important meeting or training session at work? I'm your man! Better Call Paul 225-384-0833

Setting up a new small business can be very intimidating at times. Thanks to the help of some family and friends it seems that I'm getting close to kicking this off. It's really nice to have support out there.
