We've been wanting to have these folks over for a while; we finally found a weekend when we could do it. Herb and Dianne; Jay and Mary Ann, and John and Karen joined us for dinner and a game of Mexican Train dominoes (which we learned at Dianne and Herb's).
Jambalaya is one of the first recipes I made when I started cooking. It's a crowd pleaser and fairly easy to prepare. If you are looking for something easy to start cooking; this is as good a place as any. It came from Recipezar and is now on food.com. My version is

| Ingredients. That's andouille sausage |
 |
| Second set of ingredients ready for the pan. First set is the chicken |
 |
| Andouille, and the holy trinity of cajun cooking (onion, celery, and bell pepper) getting a sauté. |
You can see how easy this recipe is. You can prep everything ahead of time, leaving you time to have a clean kitchen when company comes over.

| Hors d' oeuvres. |
 |
| Karen brought an apple cake with salted caramel topping |
 |
| Dianne's cornbread, jambalaya, and Mary Ann's salad. A great dinner |
I suck at people pictures. The only semi-usable one is this of Jay, Dianne, and Herb

John won at dominoes, there may be a rematch in the future.
