I am not sure of the translation but this is good, I love the way the patina of the language seems to roll together so well in the verse and the picture adds a touch of eerirness to the whole recipe you have weaved this into.

�That�s why we rodee�, or paddle away in a pirogue;

WOW! My Grandma made pirogues big enough to paddle the whole town away in. It was her special stuffed cabbage dish - and she used mighty big cabbages!!!

And you got Texicans there, too???!!!! Did they arrive by pirogue??!!
