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”.
