The jambalaya was delicious, as was the company. In Jackson, you live just close enough to New Orleans that you catch the flavors in the local cooking, and the Jambalaya prepared by Nelson was the best we have ever eaten. I could have eaten three servings.
Katy and Nelson invited the Dickie family for a Christmas celebration. It was delightful and delicious. We snacked on Bree and cranberries wrapped in pastry while we drank milk punch, a delightful Mississippi speciality. All children sat together with the adults at the dining table. We were all in a festive mode.
We ate our jambalaya, salad and bread on Christmas dishes which made me nostalgic for my dishes, but I said not a word but just enjoyed the moment. Christina made brownies for dessert and served it with candy cane ice cream. I might point out that Andrew ate so much jambalaya that he could not finish his brownie, so he took it home!!
Mississippi folks are gracious and hospitable and being entertained in their homes are a delight. On the way home at 10:00, all seven of us in the car felt sustained in body and soul. There is nothing better than spending time with friends in their gracious home. We are fortunate.
