New Orleans

Dear Imaginary Friends,

I just returned from a technology-imposed vow of silence. I spent five days in New Orleans, where my iPhone refused to let me post blogs. But I am happily home, and back in the blogging saddle.

I ate my way through town, enjoying Austin's, Commander's Palace, Cafe B, Clancy's, and Dante's Kitchen.

Had great shrimp, crab etc.?
Check.

Gained weight?
Check.

Saw some of my favorite peeps in the world?
Check.

Brought home a bodacious Haydel's King Cake, pralines, red beans, and creole mustard?
Check.

All the hallmarks of a successful trip down to my home away from home.

Your Imaginary Creole friend,

Patsie
