X Calas
I just found a recipe for calas and the wife made them this morning. They were great, reminded me a bit of beignets.
Anyone else had these before? The appear to be a New Orleans dish.

I ordered Sanka at the Cafe Du Monde. Maybe that's why I am The SP5IC?

"Rice Calas
Calas, another New Orleans tradition, is a breakfast fritter mixed with cooked rice, flour, sugar, and spices, and then deep-fried. According to "The Dictionary of American Food & Drink," the word Calas was first printed in 1880, and comes from one or more African languages, such as the Nupe word kárá, or "fried cake." African American street vendors sold the fresh hot calas in the city's French Quarter, with the familiar cry, "Calas, belles, calas tout chauds!"
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups cooked rice, cooled
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 to 1 cup flour, just to make a good batter
oil for deep frying
confectioners' sugar
PREPARATION:
In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and baking powder. Add just enough flour to hold batter together. It should drop from a spoon and stay together. Heat oil in the deep fryer to 365°.
Drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls into the hot oil. Fry in small batches until golden brown and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and generously sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
Serves 4 to 6."

Boil all that down and I only see 2 cups cooked rice, three eggs and some sugar. Not much more than a snack for a hungry SF trooper. Add in a few cups of rice wine and that might hold a soul over until supper time.
Might feed 4 to 6 in libby land.

damn...how did that keep from being in the Bad Toelz OWC recipe book...?
the bottom line question is how many more miles, laps or sets in the weight room does that cost...?

Thank you, Sir!
I spent my early years in NO, and recognize them from the recipe. I have never made them, though.
