Happy New Year

By quiltshome ⋅ January 3, 2007 ⋅  Print this post ⋅ Post a comment

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday. Oh, yes. I survived our binge in New Orleans over the holidays, but I managed to gain six pounds in the process. Plus, I felt so pampered at our hotel and at the various restaurants that we patronized that it was very difficult to get back to work. If you’re interested in what we ate and where, here’s the rundown (located at CoffeeBeanShop, another one of my blogs). By the way, if you wonder how I managed to get such detail into these reviews, it was because we snagged a menu from every restaurant!

1. Friday night at K-Paul’s (Paul Prudhomme’s place - the best!);
2. Saturday morning at Cafe DuMonde;
3. Saturday afternoon’s oysters on the half shell (ok - one time I didn’t eat mushrooms, unless you have to count Cafe DuMonde…);
4. Saturday night dinner at Emeril Lagasse’s NOLA;
5. More coffee and beignets at Cafe DuMonde (I adore this place);
6. Christmas Eve Jazz Brunch at Commander’s Palace;
7. Our sad and sorry Christmas dinner at Tujague’s;
8. The MOST divine breakfast at Brennan’s;
9. Notes about the hotels where we stayed and about the ghost tour that my daughter and I enjoyed (on a dark and foggy night, oh my…).
