Ahhhhhh......I grew up in Thibodaux, LA. (no 'e' in this spelling), and the kitchen is, to many, the man's room. It's a "Don Da' Baya" thing. I do all the special event cooking (I even prepared the wifes bridesmade luncheon!). She handles the day to day venue (she can do both though ;)).
My afternoon mountain begins on Monday and lasts through Tuesday evening.
