The pandemic is (mostly) over. The real problem with the picnis is that
the black camel has knelt for far too many of our participants. And we
age out, even if we're still around. I'm currently the embodiment of the
Duke Ellingtion classic "Don't Get Around Much Anymore". (except locally)

This is from my first ever picnic at Pat Stockett's in Alabama. NMearly
everyone who was at that event has fallen from the twig.

      Title: Alligator Sauce Piquante - Picnic
 Categories: Loo, Exotics, Reptile
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      1 lb Alligator cutlets
      2 c  Buttermilk or soured milk
    1/2 c  Cornmeal
    1/2 ts Thyme
           Salt & Pepper
           Fat for frying
     10 oz Can Milder Ro*Tel Chopped
           - Tomatoes
      1    Bay leaf; opt
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1/2 ts Marjoram or oregano
    1/2 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Cajun seasoning (Emeril's
           - or other) *
      1 cl Garlic mashed
           Tabasco sauce, tt (UDD
           - would use Trappey's)
 
  * Tony Chachere's (green can) works well - UDD
  
  Soak alligator cutlets in milk for at least 4 hr. Drain
  and dredge in cornmeal that has been seasoned with thyme,
  salt, and pepper.
  
  Heat fat and fry cutlets until done and crisp on both
  sides.
  
  Meanwhile, bring Ro-Tel tomatoes and bay leaf to a boil.
  Add remaining ingredients. Reduce by about 1/3, season
  with Tabasco to taste.
  
  Drain cutlets on paper towels and then put on a platter.
  Cover with sauce and serve.
  
  It was dark when I cooked this, so the identities and
  amounts of herbs are open to some question.
