In honor of the Bayo La Batre Taste of the Bayou Seafood Festival this coming weekend, I present to you this Gourmet Seafood Gift Basket. Sure, you won't find stone crab claws or lobster tails in the bayou, but who cares! Buy it for yourself. If you want to share, it's up to you!

 Tip: If you go to the bayou, real seafood gumbo has crab claws and other crab parts in it. So don't freak out, okay?

As a previous resident of the Gulf Coast, I look forward to the months that end in an "r". Now that we are in the oyster season again, I look for new ways to cook my favorite shellfish. This is one way I haven't tried yet, and the good people at Gorton's have done all the work for us with these delicious Oysters Rockefeller. A mixture of spinach, parsley and breadcrumbs is folded together with jumbo oysters then baked on the half shell. Yum!

Just heat and eat - how easy is that? Great for an intimate party of two or a decadent party of one! Quanity discounts for bigger parties.

My husband and I will throw just about anthing on the grill. This Grill-Top Pizza Stone looks like a nice addition to our repertoire of grilling gadgets. You can throw a pizza directly on the grill, but this would produce a more even result.

It features a handsome stainless steel base with a built-in thermometer on the front, so it's easy to get the temperature just right, and the removable ceramic pizza stone ensures crisp pizza crusts and perfect brick-oven style pizzas, calzones, and homemade breads.

Talk about impressing your friends!

Steven makes it easy to please your family and amaze your friends with your grilling talent.

This 100% classic bourbon coffee was selected as one of the best in the world by the Cup of Excellence International Jury.  According to the judges. El Salvador Santa Julia, brimming with Natural hints of chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, and citrus, strikes a perfect balance from its initial rich beginning to its smooth finish.

This full pound (yes, that's 16 oz.!) is grown with sustainable farming techniques by a family near near the top of the Santa Ana Volcano. Use this as a special treat for yourself, or, if they are very very lucky, your dearest friends.

In case you haven't noticed, my tastes run to the unusual. Nothing freaky, just off the beaten path.

One of my favorite things in the whole world (after chocolate) is popcorn. That's why I like the flavors offered by The Popcorn Factory. Some of them are really 'Out There' on the flavor scale. Jalapeno, Wasabi, Jelly Belly®, Garlic Asiago, Caramel Apple - and that's not even half of what they offer!

These Clear Favorites are a good way to explore their extensive selection of flavors. They come in three sizes and over a dozen flavors! Can't make up your mind? Try the 18 Pack Popcorn Sampler for a little bit of everything. Mmmmmm, Red Hot Cinnamon!
