LIVE from New Orleans, It’s Saturday Night!
Welcome! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so you won't miss the Blarties (=blog+party) on the weekends. To find out more about our Blarties check out this post, too. Looking forward to seeing you on the weekends!
Hey Boomers! I brought the Blarty down here to the Big Easy. My first trip back since Katrina, I’m excited. I Wanna put on My My My My Boogie Shoes and Dance To The Music. As they say, Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler, French for Let the Good Times Roll, here in the Vieux Carre (French Quarter).
Ah Cher, (pronounced shah), talk about Good Seafood, Beignets, (fried pastries sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar), Etouffee,(a Cajun stew usually made with crawfish or shrimp and served over rice), and Gumbo, Ahheeee! I can’t wait to hit Café Du Monde in the morning for some hot, fresh beignets. Maybe I’ll stroll on down to Central Grocery for lunch, known for their mouth watering Muffulettas. Ummm, sounds like I’m gonna have to do a lot of dancin’ or buy some new clothes to make up for all those calories.
Hey, are you getting hungry yet? Well you can order Café Du Monde (www.cafedumonde.com) beignet mix online, as well as gumbo, and etouffee from the Gumbo Shop (www.gumboshop.com); they both Ship. When it gets a little close to Mardi Gras I’ll tell you where to get the Best King Cake you could never imagine.
The weather forecast for Nawlins is not the Best, but, C’est la Vie, (That’s Life)! BTW, “bon appetit”, French for “good appetite” or enjoy”.

Wow! Kewl that you moved the Blarty to NOLA.
You have planned exactly what we would do… can you let me know the status of the farmers and flea market? I always buy my ties by the dozen there - and people love them!
We also make Mulate’s a stop to hear the music and watch people dance.
LOVE NOLA.

Chank-A-Chank, Mulate’s!! You speak my langugae GLS. I’ve been to the one here, Baton Rouge, and Breaux Bridge..I think the one in Breaux Bridge is the original? Love the atmosphere, and the food; alligator, jamabalaya, stuffed peppers, and da cajun band with accordions and washboards.
I will try to get to the French Market sometime. You know I have to pass by Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville to get there. Ties, are these for your new job at Dunder Mifflin? LOL.

I’m so jealous.
No ties allowed at Dunder Mifflin. Unofficially (because I haven’t been hired yet) the dress will be hip waders or bib overalls - no tops.
I know a place on Bourbon Street where you can get some in leather! hehehe
