Total Time: 2 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 quart water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pinch emeril's original essence (bam!)
• 1 lemon (optional)
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
• 30 -40 cloves garlic (optional)
• 1 ham hock (optional)
• 1 teaspoon heavy cream (optional)

Recipe

• 1 place water in saucepan- very simple; this ain't rocket science, folks.
• 2 use your knob to heat the water on low (turn the heat up if you don't have 2 hours to spend, but-2 hours is really a food of love thing; drinking 2 beers ought to do it).
• 3 (i said to myself: self!) relax and get one of those cold frozen things- it will make you happy, happy, happy.
• 4 don't jack the fire up to high unless you are on good terms with the fire department (but if you do start a fire- don't run out as fast as you can to remodel your house- stick around!).
• 5 that's what those lines are on there for.
• 6 heat to a boil- oh yeah babe (really hot!).
• 7 season with salt, pepper, and essence (bam!).
• 8 fork a lemon if it turns you on.
• 9 add a pinch of cinnaminnamom to kick it up a notch.
• 10 you could put in 30-40 cloves of garlic, or a ham hock, because lamb fat rules!
• 11 add a teaspoon of heavy cream if it thrills you, because somebody has to keep the dairy farmers of america in business.
• 12 and there you have it- use water where called for in cajun recipes.
