Coffee Talk With The Cajun Mamas: Easter Traditions & Treats
Today, the Cajun Mamas discuss how Easter in Cajun country isn't just about chocolate bunnies and pastel eggs – it's a rich tapestry of faith, family traditions, and mouthwatering food that brings generations together. We dive into the distinctive ways our families celebrate, starting with the competitive egg game that has us all shouting "pock, pock!" as we tap our decorated eggs against each other until only one champion egg remains uncracked.

Speaker 2:Can you believe we're in the middle of April and it's almost Easter?

Speaker 1:Thank, you, skeet, for being our grand sponsor yes indeed oh, I love. I can't wait to talk about all things easter you like easter, I like easter, I think it.
Speaker 2:I like the time of year. You you know. Like it's spring, the weather's usually pretty good, not too hot, not too cold. It is sad if it rains on Easter, because then the kids can't go find the eggs outside, you know.
Speaker 1:We have had many indoor Easter egg hunts.
Speaker 2:Sometimes you have to.
Speaker 1:You never know what the weather's going to do around here and that's so sad for the little children, I know, but you have to. You never know what the weather's gonna do around here so sad for the little children, I know.
Speaker 2:But you know, as long as they got the candy, do they really?
Speaker 1:care, but it's nice when you can put them outside with all that candy and sugar?
Speaker 2:no doubt, because, oh, and you know what? Uh, you know what the? I don't know if I should say this, if there's any kids listening right now. You know what the Easter Bunny does sometimes he uses little organizations like the Girl Scouts to come and egg your yard. Oh, you didn't know that.
Speaker 1:I love that yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So that's what our Easter Bunny does outside and it's very nice. So you might want to reach out to your Easter Bunny to ask him to do that for you.
Speaker 1:Yes, and see if there is one in the area that you know your Easter Bunny can partake in.
Speaker 2:It makes the Easter Bunny a lot less work for the Easter Bunny to have to do, you know, and they come with candy inside the eggs and everything.
Speaker 1:I forgot about that. That is so nice. It's so nice. What a good way to give um. Also, I was. I'm glad you thought about that. Yeah, um, all right. Well, what, what? What do you have on the menu today? What are we going to talk about?
Speaker 2:first, because I have so many things to say about easter okay, um, so let's talk about, like, what do you do, like what's your favorite part about Easter, or what do you look forward to.
Speaker 1:I look forward to time with family, absolutely. We always dye our Easter eggs with my mama and my sister and her kids, okay, and we do that mostly on Good Friday morning. We dye them fresh on Good Friday morning because we have a get-together on Good Friday evening.
Speaker 2:With the same side or Oprah side. No, with the Oprah side. Okay.
Speaker 1:And but one of my favorite parts about ISA is egg dyeing with the kids. We sometimes take a big table outside and then we all sit around the table and we dye our eggs outside and have tuna, fish sandwiches for lunch and Doritos.
Speaker 2:And, like you know, it's just like an outside picnic type situation.
Speaker 1:And if the weather's pretty, not if the weather's not pretty we do it inside. We have just as much fun, it's nice, but it's nice to not have the mess inside.
Speaker 2:It is nice not to have the mess inside.
Speaker 1:It is nice not to have the mess inside. That's one of my favorite parts about isa is just dying eggs with the kids and watching them pop later.
Speaker 2:Yeah I remember when bren was little, um like even she was in a high chair, too little to really understand what was going on, but I put her, uh, isa, in a ziploc bag with, like I put a drop of dye in there and like let her squish it around and so like she dyed the egg, but it was in a bag. That was so cute.
Speaker 1:Oh, I might do that with Roz this year. Yeah, but really is it Easter? If you don't show up to my mom says this every year If you don't show up to Sunday mass with dyed fingers, all colors.
Speaker 2:Sunday mass with dyed fingers, all colors on your hands.
Speaker 1:You know all colors on your hands. Is it really Easter? If you don't have colored fingertips, you can't take all their childhood messiness away I guess.
Speaker 2:Oh, I know, but I mean she was younger than Roz, even, you know, like Bennett's age or a little older.
Speaker 1:I might do that for Bennett. But I just remember when JoJo was probably young like that one. She would just peel up the egg and eat it, you know, like not the shell, but like we'd take the shell away, but she would eat the egg. Nothing go to waste, not with JoJo, but mm-mm.
Speaker 2:Yes, I quite enjoy like and I have fond memories of that with doing that, especially my daddy, like me and my my dad, my mama was in the kitchen too, but like me and my daddy would dye our eggs together and we'd have a whole little station set up at the kitchen counter. And even as an adult like I did that with my daddy before I got married and had my own kids like, oh, you can't miss that tradition.
Speaker 1:And if you don't miss that tradition and if you don't have that tradition in your household. Now we are going to sweeten the deal what we do with our eggs. Okay, if you don't know about what you do with the eggs once they bald and and we might have a new little game that you can start with your family.
Speaker 1:You're going to love it All right, but one of the things that I want to just kind of bring up. Uh, I love watching, speaking of adults, my husband when he dies Easter eggs. It is like a sport for him. Oh God, he's got to have the best one and he's going to let it soak in that it's going to be the most vibrant.
Speaker 2:Don't take it out yet.
Speaker 1:Oh, most vibrant colors. And just to watch him enjoy that.
Speaker 2:Like they turn into big kids. Yeah, he does.
Speaker 1:In his art class time. But we know, do not touch those eggs on his end and trust the process with him, because he's going to try new things and he's going to. But don't touch his eggs. It's not done yet, so he might only get four eggs done, but they're going to be pretty.
Speaker 2:They're going to take the whole three hours to get done, but they will take long, that's it. How about? Well, let's just tell them what we do with our eggs.
Speaker 1:All right, that's so different than other people. You might already do this, but we pock our eggs and the way that we do this is we hold our egg. Two people hold our egg. Look, let's do it for her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I have my egg here and she's holding hers like this and I'm going to go pock pock, I'm going to go pock pock.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, it makes a pock noise, it does.
Speaker 2:Pretend yeah well, it makes a pop noise. It does Pretend, it does Pop, pop. And whoever's egg cracks, you lose. You're the loser. You're the loser. If your egg don't crack, you're the winner. And you go around and do it, and do it, and do it until there's no eggs left that's not cracked and you get one final egg that is not cracked is not cracked when you.
Speaker 1:I heard the story told that the reason we do this is because the when you have the egg crack, it's like the tomb opening and jesus is risen.
Speaker 2:Yes, it symbols like the tomb being open and cracked and rebirth and resurrection, and that's the same thing about like why eggs? Uh well, because it's like it's long been a symbol of new life or fertility and and spring and all that, yeah so when I have a cracked egg, let me ask you this do you do the butts too? Yeah, we do, I turn them around. Yeah, we turn it around. Both ends have to be cracked before I say I lost Right.
Speaker 1:But you cannot have. If either one of them is cracked, you lose, you still lose.
Speaker 2:You're not a champion egg.
Speaker 1:Your champion egg is unblemished. There's no blemish no cracks.
Speaker 2:My daddy said he as a child would a a duck egg, or maybe it was a goose egg or whatever, yeah, and because they're stronger and he would cheat.
Speaker 1:Cheat, yeah, but I mean for fun but you know, we, we have so much fun doing that and it's like everybody gets together, it's pocking time, pocking time and then Mr Pat, my husband's daddy, he sings. They sing a little song when they pop. Oh yeah, okay, and so you hold it and the one that's going to do the pock and sing ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting ting.
Speaker 2:Not everybody does that. Okay, I've never heard of that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've never heard this um, but that's how we do it I love it and he'll I mean sometimes he'll get it, and if it lasts long he'll be oh ting ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting ting, and it gets, you know, like it gets more exciting as it goes. So you know, it's look, I'm, I'm vibrating with excitement.
Speaker 2:It's. Look, I'm vibrating with excitement.
Speaker 1:It's so fun, so that's what we do, but you know your champion egg.
Speaker 2:It's just bragging rights.
Speaker 1:It's bragging rights.
Speaker 2:Total bragging rights. But once they all cracked. What you do with the eggs? Do you like to pickle them? You make an egg salad. Y'all just eat them, or what? Sometimes?
Speaker 1:they do deviled eggs with that, which is always good. I don't really love deviled eggs. I don't love them. I'm not going to take a deviled egg at the function.
Speaker 2:At a baby shower, you wouldn't get a deviled egg. No, they're too squishy and mushy.
Speaker 1:They are a little mushyhy, but I don't mind the mush when it comes to that well, okay so we got a deviled egg lover and I know you normally not if that's the only thing they got you know it's never the only thing at our functions so I'm gonna just pass it you'll just pass but let's talk about how to make those deviled eggs good.
Speaker 2:Yes, perfect timing, because, how the Cajun lady accent has a whole line of seasonings that you can put on your deviled eggs, your roast, your chicken, your shrimp, anything you want to cook. You need to go follow her on social media, if you don't already, because you could even get some new meal ideas from her. She posts cooking videos all the time.

Speaker 1:usually y'all got a traditional easter meal I told chase, please can we uh mix it up, this, switch it up. But it's hard when everybody gets together on good friday. I'd prefer if we didn't, but we make it a point to go to Mass, okay, and at 3 o'clock a solemn time, okay, to observe what goes on there, because it's hard to plan family things when you have such an extended family Everybody is going different places.
Speaker 1:You've got to take a going different places, you know everybody's got to take a day and, uh, for us it's always good friday, so it has to be seafood.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, and, and, and we don't boil crawfish on good friday I guess we could it could get expensive too, though, feeding a bunch, you know right.
Speaker 1:So we usually do a big shrimp and egg. Uh, stew stew, oh, a shrimp and egg. But you don't want that this year I mean I'd like to switch it up a little bit, but I mean, who knows, I I'm, I'm not the be all, end all and it's not my easter yeah, it's his yeah, so um, but shrimp and egg stew mashed potatoes, not mashed potatoes. Potato salad Potato salad, and then you know we have rolls and you know the kids eat candy for breakfast.

Speaker 1:It most likely will be my breakfast. Do you like the strawberry Heavenly Hash?
Speaker 2:I was about to ask you the same thing. I do like them, I just don't think it's necessary. I like them but it's not necessary. No, necessary is the white ones, the regular white, the brown, remember last year we put them in the freezer and almost broke our teeth on broke our teeth and dipped it in coffee.
Speaker 1:It was good, okay, coffee but apparently not everybody knows what a heavenly hash is, so let's tell them okay, heavenly hash is it's almond, it's it's a marshmallow fluff coated in chocolate it's like the chocolate gets crunchy on the outside and then there might be a few, one or two almonds hidden in there and it's like a big.
Speaker 2:It's like about the size of my hand like this. It looks like kind of like an egg shape, but yeah, it's made by elmer's candy and that's a Louisiana thing, apparently, I didn't even know Elmer's Candy is based in New Orleans, I think.
Speaker 1:I could use a big Heavenly Hash right now.
Speaker 2:I could use yeah, that'd be nice. That's my favorite Easter candy is Heavenly Hash, one with two almonds though. You like a twofer?

Speaker 2:No, it's true. Yeah, you got to get your candy early before they pick it over.
Speaker 1:This is serious talk, right here.
Speaker 2:Very serious conversation Now. A Reese's egg all the way. Reese's eggs for Easter taste better than any other Reese's ever.
Speaker 1:And it doesn't matter if you make it in the shape of a Halloween jack-o'-lantern, a Christmas tree, it does not matter. The egg will always be the king of Reese's. I don't know why, but it's true Always. I don't know why it's delicious. One east aisle was so healthy. I made my own with dates and natural peanut butter.

That's all one word and you're gonna get 10 off. They're offering.
Speaker 1:Ain't they so nice?
Speaker 2:that's very nice all right, all right. So I I was curious about where the easter bunny came from, because it's something I never really thought about, but I know it like I'm like, surely it's not a religious thing, it's just a bunny, the bunny. And why does the bunny bring us candy and eggs? Because bunnies don't lay eggs, I don't know. So, in case you curious like me, there is both a pagan origin and also a Christian influence to this tradition. Okay, the Easter Bunny is thought to have originated from ancient pagan traditions, particularly from the celebration of I'm not going to say this right Austere. Okay, a Germanic goddess of spring and fertility. According to the legend, austere had a sacred animal, often depicted as a hare or a rabbit, symbolizing fertility and new life. Since rabbits are known for their fast reproduction, they became associated with the season of renewal and rebirth, which aligns with springtime and Easter.
Speaker 2:I can see that that's not too hard of a thing to connect Now the Christian influence. As Christianity spread through Europe, many pagan customs were blended with Christian traditions. Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, often occurs in the spring, a time when nature is also reborn. The use of symbols like eggs and rabbits, both representing life and fertility, became part of Easter celebrations, even though they aren't directly tied to biblical story. Why does the Easter Bunny bring eggs? Eggs have been a symbol of new life for centuries, dating back to ancient civilization. In medieval Europe, eggs were often forbidden during Lent, so people would save them up and decorate them to celebrate Easter Sunday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, forbidden during Lent yeah, and we I know that's all we eat. The tradition merged with the Osterhuis story and eventually the Easter bunny was said to bring eggs as a gift to well-behaved children, similar to Santa Claus bringing presents at Christmas.
Speaker 1:So I wish they would be happy with just eggs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know when did the. I should have researched where did the candy come into it? Because Lord Commercials.
Speaker 1:The amount, yeah, commercialism, commercialism, research. Where did the candy come into it? Because lord commercial.
Speaker 2:The amount, yeah, commercialism, commercial, and I'm here for it, apparently give me, my heavenly hash baby bring it on okay, so let me talk about you, didn't tell me what y'all eat, yeah okay. So growing up uh, I didn't grow up catholic we talked about this before good friday. Friday, baby was having barbecue. We would have a family gathering on good Friday and we would barbecue. My daddy did pork steaks, chicken, sausage, all of it. Then, whenever I became Catholic, I'm like we can't, we can't barbecue on good Friday, like no, gotta wait for Easter Sunday for that yes.
Speaker 2:Yes. So now you know Good Friday, I will say that's probably the only time during Lent that I you know how we talked about like ball crawfish is really not a sacrifice. We have ball crawfish on Good Friday.
Speaker 1:That's usually our thing, that's a lot of people. A lot of people do that. Yeah, you know. So, sacrifice I do not. Our thing, that's a lot of people. A lot of people do that. Yeah, you know. So, sacrifice I do not think so no but if you know, like if that is the consensus of the group, who?
Speaker 2:am I to?
Speaker 1:say that I shouldn't have it. Yeah, no, yeah, I feel like there's other things that I could give up you know been working hard this whole Lenten season, or do something. Some people were like I don't give up anything, I do something, you know, and we talked about that. We had a whole talk about that. But yeah, you know.
Speaker 2:So that's what we've been doing the last few years. And then on Easter, so I'm going to I don't know if I should say this. You know how my husband is Particular about some things and I love him, but he's particular, he's particular. So we he's not real happy if we haven't seafood for Easter, Because he's like I've been having seafood this whole year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember you saying that I'm with him on that, though I'm with him Girlfish, etouffee him.
Speaker 2:Don't do it for me on easter. I want brisket, I want a pork roast, I want, you know, barbecue, whatever, but some of our family members love to cook that like it's a special treat. Crawfish tails are expensive and it's like a specialty type of thing, but he ain't having it. One year our dear sweet aunt marla made a beautiful yummy crawfish etouffee and my husband brought his own brisket to eat over there and I'm like you're not gonna bring your. Yes, I am, I won't share it with everybody of course what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2:you know nothing. I just thought, man, you poor aunt mar, you know, opening up her house and her kitchen to us and you're going to bring your own meat no, listen.
Speaker 1:the way that that looks, though, is like dang. Look what he brought to the function. Not just the bread or the potato salad, he brought a whole brisket, you know yeah.
Speaker 2:And I had a plate of both of them too. Sure would have too, A little bit of brisket on the side of my two feet. That's yeah. So now I don't know what we have in this year. We don't have a traditional easter meal, really, it's just whatever my husband feels like putting on that green egg and I'm I'm about it, no matter what well you see, and that's, that's us.
Speaker 1:With the shrimp, the shrimp stew. I was like man I sure would like to barbecue for Easter, because barbecue on Easter is just something you do. Because when we actually do something on Easter with my side of the family. It was barbecue, or you know. Yeah, so, but yeah, it's barbecue for Easter.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm Barbecue, Especially if the weather's nice. You know that's the way to go.
Speaker 1:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Any way to go absolutely any weekend. The weather's nice. Let's talk about what we can season our barbecue with, how. The cajun lady accent has a whole line of delicious cajun seasonings, all purpose seasonings. Uh, like hers creoles article and cajun waltz, she has a blackening seasoning called blackened, that cajun spicy two-step and a mexican fiesta seasoning that I use all the time Me too, Love the Mexican fiesta, even the dry dip Mexican fiesta mix like, mix that with some sour cream and put that on your tacos.

Speaker 1:What about our? I mean what I don't know? I just think it's such a good children holiday too.
Speaker 2:It is you know, I enjoy watching the children enjoy Easter, mm-hmm, you know. And do you dress your kids up for Easter Sunday Mass? I mean, oh, I know, that's a whole thing.
Speaker 1:I'm already stressing about that, because I have tweens and they're not fun.
Speaker 2:They're not fun to dress.
Speaker 1:I know I literally brought them to the store and said pick what you want. And nothing good, nothing, nothing they were. So I'm like, okay, listen, I am this year going to bring you and, and the thing about it is is I can't just buy something and still wear it, not anymore, no, because they won't, you know. So you just unlocked.
Speaker 2:Oh, anxiety for you.
Speaker 1:But I do like to say the babies, that's so fun because they're so cute in their little outfits, you know, and then picking the eggs.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, with their little basket going around. Oh, I love it so much. Easter is the best for littles. Oh, for the little ones. When my girls were littler, my mother-in-law would make their dresses like the beautiful smock.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:I miss that so much.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:They had the cutest little dresses. She probably does too, and I know they had the cutest little dress. She probably does too, like she, and she told me not that long ago, maybe I don't know, six months or so ago. She's like you know, I think if I made a dress, brynn would still wear it and I'm like she probably would, but then fast forward six months and I'm like she probably wouldn't now like she we turned a corner not that long ago and it really breaks my heart.
Speaker 2:but she's getting into that tween, oh yeah. Phase.
Speaker 1:And they realize they become conscious.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, what how they look and who's looking and what are they thinking?
Speaker 1:And but I did that too, and whenever I did I wanted to go to the store and get clothes. So I don't know why they just can't make it easy for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know how fun to go and shop for your own clothes. Yes, I would love that.
Speaker 1:If my mama said whatever you like tell me, just tell me.
Speaker 2:That's all I want. Help me, help me, help you. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I think it would be easier to bring and just be like find it.
Speaker 2:Maybe they might like that better, but who knows what they're going to come up with, you know.
Speaker 1:And do you?
Speaker 2:have to be okay with it. You know like if they come to you with this outfit, they so excited would you? And it was like not Easter mass appropriate. Right what would you say?
Speaker 1:If it's not appropriate for church, then it's not appropriate for other places either.
Speaker 2:This is true, so, and church, then? It's not appropriate for other places either.
Speaker 1:This is true, so, and I don't mean like inappropriate, like you know, crop tops and nothing.
Speaker 2:Okay, because no, I just mean, like you know, too casual or something you know I don't know as long as it.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I dress casual to church. My favorite easter was covid uh.
Speaker 2:As far as dressing, because we couldn't go nowhere.
