The last few days have been spent visiting with friends and eating. And eating.Fabulous lunches at Bayona, the Marigny Brasserie, Felipe's and Cochon Butcher.
A shrimp fest last night with Grilled Shrimp with Remoulade sauce, Shrimp Creole and Shrimp and Eggplant Casserole at a friend's house.
More shrimp last Wednesday night with another friend - we broiled up a couple pounds of these sweet, fat Gulf shrimp and served them with lots of green onions and spicy noodles. Divine!
Carnival this year is a busy one. The hotels are full and the streets are packed with revelers. The Superbowl win by the Saints has added another dimension to the customary Mardi Gras merriment.We're about to head out again today for more celebrating and definitely more eating. I think a steaming hot bowl of seafood Gumbo is on the agenda.
Laissez les bon temps rouler!

What a great city New Orleans is! Enjoying your blog, I will be back again and again ~LeslieMichele
Yum. Shrimps!
How I love shrimp! Continue to enjoy...
WV: scones! Not quite the right culture!
How embarrassing, I just found you.
What a great blog. We have friends who live in "downtown" Roussillon and I think I could live there in a heartbeat as long as I could hop on a train to Paris from time to time. It is such a beautiful little corner of France.
Your little plug for cheese is hilarious.
Warm regards,

So true! I have such amazing friends in this city.
See you this afternoon.
Until I realized that those jars were lying on their sides in a bin, I was trying to figure out what was making them levitate!
Sounds like you had a good trip. You'll be glad to get home again.
wcs
They do look like they're levitating! lol
Maybe I should crop it?
Very excited to get home. :)
