BAKED JAMBALAYA
Excerpt from TRUE NATURE:
The waitress returned with the food, explaining that the band was auditioning that
night for a more permanent position, and then refilled their drinks leaving them to their
meals.
Kailen tasted everything on her own plate, and then at Marc’s urging, tasted his as
well. They both finally settled in on eating each other’s meals. She was delighted by all
the different flavors and closed her eyes and savored each item, before moving on to the
next.
Marc was enjoying dinner through her experience, watching her closely, noticing
the way she took the time to savor the moment before moving on to the next. Their
conversation founded around the food they were eating, and what general information
Marc could give about the area and its history.
The band began playing some soft melodies, and the owner of the restaurant sat at
a front table, smoking a large cigar, occasionally speaking to the man seated beside him.
About the time that they had finished their meal, the band began to play a
different style of music; a toe tapping, fast paced sound and Kailen could not help but
move along with the beat.
The lead singer started singing along with a heavily accented language and Marc
quickly pointed out to Kailen that it was the regional dialect for the people in the area.
A few people started to leave their tables and dance on the small wooden floor set
off to the far side of the stage for that purpose. Kailen’s eyes were shining brightly, and a
blush rose in her cheeks as an elderly man approached her and asked her if she would
mind to dance with him. Marc nodded his approval with a wide grin, and a sly look in his
eye, knowing Kailen probably did not know how to two-step very well, if at all.
