Get Your Crawfish On!

 Dear Cher,
That is repetitious, but pretend I am Cajun for a moment. If you live in the Washington, DC, area, and want to get your crawdaddy on, head on over to Evening Star Cafe, on Mt. Vernon Avenue in the Del Ray part of Alexandria, VA.
Dey got yo crawfish, yo boiled taters, yo boiled corn and sausage... And you will leave with spicy lips on fire!
Whether you call 'em crawdads, mudbugs, or crawfish, go get you some. For only $14, enjoy a whole pound of finger-lickin' good bugs. Pull they heads off, and suck away. Squeeze they tails, and make some magic. Mmm, mmm. You will need plenty plenty napkins and water to wash down the fiery goodness.

Your Imaginary Cajun,
Patsie

Do You Know What It Means , To Miss New Orleans?

Dear Imaginary Friends,

I am visiting my home town of New Orleans! Happily, I have been eating my way through town. SO far, I have busted my diet by eating:

Crab Ravigote
Crawfish Etoufee'
Shrimp Po Boy
Crab Fingers
Stuffed Crab
Wedding Cake
Spumoni
Snowballs
Shrimp and Mushrooms
Chicken salad
Salsa containging mango, avocado and shrimp
Salad
Red wine
Manhattan
Martini
Pina Colada daiquiri
Champagne punch


Tomorrow, there are new frontiers to tackle, including turtle soup and shrimp remoulade. Hey, and what about gumbo and a Cosmo? And what about a mint julep?
So many great tastes here and plenty of iced tea to wash them down with.

I am in heaven. And did I mention that I have only been here for 24 hours so far?

Your Imaginary Diner,
Patsie
