elph71 | TALLAHASSEE, FLOh I love beignets! They are actually not difficult to make if you have a deep fryer, similar to making sopapilla but you roll them in lots of powdered sugar. And I love muffalettas, used to live near a deli that made good ones. I usually make a shrimp boil though, it's easiest with what I've got access to here and it will please the taste buds of everyone in this house.
