100th Birthday Recipes
Crawfish Etouffee
A delicious Cajun recipe was made to celebrate Uncle Mike’s 100th Birthday. Crawfish Etouffee was chosen as the recipe to symbolize healthy eating habits throughout his life. Not to mention, it is his favorite.
1/2 c oil or margarine
1/2 flour
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large celery stalk, finely chopped
3 fat cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 c fairly rich shrimp broth
1 T lemon
1/2 c crawfish fat (substitute 3-4 T
crawfish liquid or crawfish stock)*
1 T lemon juice
1 t salt (omit if using crawfish stock)
1 T fresh parsley (1 t dried)
1/2 t cayenne pepper
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 t thyme
1 bay leaf
1 lb frozen crawfish, all liquid included
2 large scallion tops, sliced
cooked converted rice
Make a medium dark roux by whisking the flour into the oil over medium
heat and cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture is the color
of chocolate. Add the onion along with the celery and garlic, and
sautee over medium low heat until vegetables are tender, about 10
minutes. Slowly add the shrimp stock, and bring to a boil. Lower heat
to a simmer, and add lemon juice, crawfish fat/stock/liquid, and the
spices. Simmer 15 minutes. Add the crawfish and any liquid, bring to
a rapid simmer, reduce to a low simmer, add the scallions, and simmer
just until the crawfish are tender, about 10 minutes. Adjust
seasonings. To serve, mound some rice in a plate, and ladle some of
the etouffee on top. This recipe makes about 4 servings.
Note: Crawfish fat gives the dish its characteristic flavor. In New
Orleans, it can be bought in the stores, but it's tough to find
elsewhere, so substitute. If you do find it, keep it refrigerated, as
it is very perishable. By crawfish liquid, I mean any run off from
frozen crawfish. Whenever you use crawfish for another reason (making
Cajun popcorn, say), you should save any liquid from the inside of the
package that remains after defrosting. This liquid is mainly water,
but it will be orange in color from the crawfish fat and meat.
Finally, to make crawfish stock, take a dozen or so crawfish heads left
over from a crawfish boil, and cover with some of the left over cooking
liquid or water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for
several hours. At the end of simmering, strain the stock, and reduce
in half. Be careful when using this stock because it will be very
salty. Omit any salt from the recipe, and adjust at the end.
Everyone enjoyed the best of the party and an important message of healthy eating just extended out that night.

A Century of living, the 100th birthday! The most amazing birthday party of them all. This is more than an individual birthday; it is a long awaited event for 5 generations or more to get together. Planning this party will be a treasure and a blessing and should take into consideration that the guests may range in age from 80 to 5. The guests will be plentiful and the party invitations should reflect the number of years celebrated -100. This should truly be a BIG PARTY with lots people, party food, and party games. Decorating the house with blown up pictures of the birthday boy or girl at different stages of their life, will make for a meaningful heart felt atmosphere and hanging large 100'dreds from the ceiling will add to that. The party invitations could also have a picture of the birthday person, as a child and now. The theme, the party, the decorations, the cake and the games should all denote 100to make this person feel as special as possible. The party food should be as varied as the age ranges will be from fries for the kids to more sophisticated food for the adults. A 100th birthday cake will be the highlight of the party. This will be a huge celebration for family and friends of all ages with lots of gifts and love!
