We make our own cajun version of fricassee around here, but it is basically just chicken with a brown roux.

I have favorites among my own collection; on my desk is a Micmac basket from Prince Edward Island, and in the kitchen are two baskets made of recycled candy wrappers from Mexico. I use baskets in the kitchen for my onions and garlic, potatoes, summer tomato harvest -- and fresh baked muffins, of course.Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18005372315838352874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29556015.post-61803752803444818572007-02-05T19:57:00.000-06:002007-02-05T19:57:00.000-06:00No they do not make baskets like they used too.
