Well, hurricane Ike is pretty firmly pointed at Texas. Apologies to all of those currently in its path (not to mention all of those in the Caribbean that have already felt its wrath), but it seems like Kevin and I have lucked out this time. We’ll be heading off to New Orleans early tomorrow. I expect to find some new music to collect, put on a lot of weight from eating good food, and get even further behind with processing video recordings. If I meet any ghosts, vampires or voodoo sorcerers I shall be sure to let you know.

If I may make a few suggestions to help you enjoy that weight gain you mention…
Not sure if you’ve ever visited N’awlins ‘afore, but do make sure and get beignets at the famous Café du Monde. And in my humble opinion the best po-boy’s (their roast beef with ‘debris’ – the part of the meat that fell to bits while cooking – is excellent) and some pretty good jambalaya are to be had at Mother’s ( http://www.mothersrestaurant.net/contact_us.htm ) and the best pralines at Southern Candymakers ( http://www.southerncandymakers.com/Page.bok?template=aboutscm ). That is all.
Have a wonderful time!
Cheryl’s not been here before, but I have, and I’ve been to the first two of those and probably will be again on this trip. So many restaurants, so little time!
Thanks Elizabeth! Jambalaya is certainly high on my list of things to eat while I am here.
I see that Café du Monde now sell make-your-own beignet mixes. I can see me getting encouraged to try them.
