Dust jacket notes: "CAJUN HOUSEHOLD WISDOM is a virtual Cajun 101 in genuine American folklore and regional heritage. When Cajun shrimp, Cajun gumbo, and Cajun blackened catfish fail to evoke the thrills of Mardi Gras nights in Lafayette and 'gator adventures in the bayou, you can pick up CAJUN HOUSEHOLD WISDOM for hot-pepper, hilarious tidbits of the legends and lore of the Cajun people of southern Louisiana. Cajuns love to laugh, to eat, to dance, and to tell tall tales, all spiced with the rich, lively and fun-loving spirit of generations of French-speaking ancestors. CAJUN HOUSEHOLD WISDOM is a down-home collection of humor, wit, photographs, and folktales gathered from years of storytelling on the front porch, back porch, and at the kitchen table. Kenneth Aguillard Atchity promises to tickle your Cajun tastebuds with wit and wisdom in rollicking Cajun English fit for any occasion: - 'If you not fishin', you not doin' anyt'in' serious.' - 'Ambition puts da Tabasco in yo' patience.' - 'You got two choices: fo'git yo' dreams - or pay foh dem.'" Hardcover, 6.5 x 6.5 inches, 82 pages, illustrated with black & white photographs.
