The accent fascinated me, but there were definitely times I could have used subtitles.<br /><br />Marion, you're right about the "gentle feeling in a swamp." Even with snakes and gators in it, it's a spiritual place.<br /><br />Maria, my problem is I'm hooked on too many shows. I love the cooking shows, too, but mostly those that involve challenges. Those Paula Deen cookies sound delicious!<br /><br />Janet, does anybody really like alligators? As much as I love animals, when it comes to people v. alligators, I'm rooting for the hunters all the way. And I LOVE the hoarders shows. Hm. Just thought of something. When I watch "Swamp People," I can just sit there and relax in the knowledge that I should "not try this at home." But when I watch "Hoarders," I feel like I should jump up during commercials and throw something in the trash."Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-50172201270477151302010-09-11T22:14:52.185-05:002010-09-11T22:14:52.185-05:00Never saw it, because I don't care for gators ...Never saw it, because I don't care for gators and I think people who catch them are nuts. Might give the show a try sometime. <br /><br />I'm really hooked on "Hoarders" and "Hoarding:Buried Alive".

I never used to watch cooking shows and I can't cook, but I actually watched Paula Deen make a bunch of wild cookies the other day. You smash up oreos, add some cream cheese, make them into balls and fridge them until they set and then you melt almond bark and pour it all over them. <br /><br />I am diabetic. WHY did I copy down this recipe?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-90712911696429213942010-09-11T11:08:53.780-05:002010-09-11T11:08:53.780-05:00I'm going to try and find this show.

There is such a gentle feeling in a swamp.<br /><br />Of course, I grew up where there were no alligators! but I've always been interested in the cajun way of life.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up, Velvet!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-31049745701208735662010-09-10T17:24:26.589-05:002010-09-10T17:24:26.589-05:00I initially tuned in out of curiosity but was quic...I initially tuned in out of curiosity but was quickly hooked! I love the danger and the hardworking family men. Makes me homesick! And I was really curious about the subtitles... it took me a while to figure out WHY they were using them! I guess my "cajun ears" are used to hearing that thick accent!CreekHiker / HollysFollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987597104795294851noreply@blogger.com
