Set It and Forget It

Sometimes you get a song stuck in your head for no reason.  It just pops in and..bam...ear worm...that's what they call it these days.  Sometimes it's a song or commercial...or phrase...that you don't care for particularly.  Today was a normal day, just like many others...


  • temp in the 70's
  • cats frolicking in the morning
  • watched a little Ryder cup (dang Spaniard) with my hubby
  • strong coffee
  • sea breeze
  • see jambalaya post on facebook and try recipe

normal...pretty Sundayish, until I loaded up the crock pot.  I saw a recipe (video at that) that Linda posted and was lured in. big time.  Kind of like the Big Easy does to the person when you first arrive.  I have all ingredients on hand...minus the andouille sausage.  Could this be a September send off?  Could it be more enticing that somebody will maybe be watching football and the scene of a warm slow cooker in the background could paint the perfect homey scenario...and also fact that new lamp is really giving the place a lot more ambiance..?



I go for it.  I decide to make jambalaya.  I won't drag this out for 4 to 5 hours on low.  Yes, I keep Cajun seasoning on hand.  The mid size crock is now crocking.  The aroma is pretty good here in the K kitchen.  Then it happens as I pass by to give it a little mix.  Jambalaya, crawfish pie.....I start singing the tune.  Right away I knew this was gonna be a toughie to get out of my head.  Oh crap,  I say aloud.  Hubby asked...what?  I think I've got a song stuck in my head.  He laughs and I hear him whistle...the goodbye joe, me gottta go part... I'm just going to carry on with my day...it's not even 10am and I have time to change my tune.  The bayou ear worm.  
My Yvonne...sweetest one...I'm gonna do some laundry, go for a walk on the bayou.  I'm gonna have some fun.  I may make some jam too...fill fruit jar... no.  Not really.  I don't make jam...or haven't yet.  Son of a gun!!  Settle down...me....far from town and be gay- o.  Maybe after the shower I will forget about the song...maybe sing the latest country tune.  Uh oh... he gotta go- pole the pirogue down the bayou.  Me oh my oh.
