From sweet to savory and everything in between, hundreds of people showed up for Saturday s (June 26, 2021) 4th annual Soul Food festival in Baton Rouge.
Even if it never occurred to you to wrap a spicy boudin sausage in sweet, fluffy bread and eat it for breakfast, you may find yourself nodding vigorously at the idea. It’s quite a good idea, and you can make it a reality at Cajun Donuts II in Garland.
While enjoying your boudin pastry, you might close your eyes, mistakenly think you’re in New Orleans and order a beignet. If you do, a friendly employee will fry some up fresh for you, so you might as well let the good times roll.
The shop also offers a better-than-basic array of standard doughnuts. Cake doughnuts and decorated character doughnuts for the kids are customer favorites, while cinnamon-sprinkled doughnuts holes are a must add-on to any order.

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) Colastie Hebert LeBlanc, known as Tante Colastie by family and friends, was one of the few women still making brown cotton trousseau a dowry for new brides. But she had 108 blankets.
When asked to sell one of her blankets LeBlanc responded with, “Oh no! Madamoiselle! I can’t let you have any of those. I have made them for my children.”
But with so many extra blankets, people were confused with how many children she had.
“Nine,” she would tell them. “I have completed my supply, that is one dozen for each. Now I’ll be able to make blankets for others and my friends who need them.”
