Comments (2)Beignets, if you are lucky enough to know anyone who can make them. And I guess put chicory in the coffee. I also think of "po' boy" sandwiches, shrimp or crawfish etouffee, trout Marguery, grillades, Bananas Foster, and bread pudding with whiskey sauce. If you care about being super authentic, a lot of the stuff you mentioned I think is really more Cajun than New Orleans cuisine. But I doubt your guests will be picky about that when it tastes so good!...See MoreI'll Show You Mine, If You'll Show Me Yours, Tuesday Oct 12
Comments (10)Happy Birthday, Aaron!! And happy wedding. We're counting on your dad to share pictures. Here's my mom and my dad's cousin fooling around. This is how I felt the day after the wedding celebration. Not from drinking, but from dancing! I had no knee pain whatsoever during the party, but the next day I was limping to my car. I don't know what it is that carries us through events (adrenalin?), but it's fun while it lasts....See MoreOT Our Big Fat Damp Diamond Jubilee Celebrations
Comments (14)I agree about the BBC coverage. I only caught a few minutes of it. Some female wearing a straw table-mat on her head reminding the crowd that the Coronation was in 1952 (it was in '53) and lots of other inane chatter. cece, I thought Beatrice and Eugenie (never know which is which) were more understated than usual; no bad thing. An aside: when either of those girls gets married do you think their Mother (Sarah F) will be allowed to join them in the church?! Re Trooping the Colour. Many years ago, while at boarding school one of the nuns 'obtained' tickets and we had a good view over the Mall from Carlton House Terrace. Couldn't see anything of the 'trooping' so spent the time cheering at the mechanical 'pooper-scooper' that followed the horses. Lydia, certainly the 'Royals' as private people could be described as uninteresting or lacking in great brain-power/charisma/beauty or whatever our celebrity conscious world demands. And yes, they dwell at the top of our ant-heap because of accidents of birth and there is a small minority of UK citizens who would prefer a republic, though God knows which sleazy politician would fit the bill. But . . . the expense of maintaining a Monarchy apparently works out at the cost of a cup of St**b*cks (yum yum) for each person in the UK per annum. And the Queen (who now pays Income Tax(!) must work harder than any of her citizens and is dearly loved by Her subjects...See MoreMonday and Tuesday have been covered
Comments (9)Just got back from DW's little 1840s little episcopal church where I was supposed to flip pancakes for their Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras pancake supper (hi writersblock). I was supposed to cover the second hour shift but most guests had already been served so I mainly just got to eat pancakes and sausage (and drink sweet tea since we're down in the south.)...See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
