Well, I am back and well, and wanted to share the food I had in New Orleans!! I went to New Orleans from May 22 to 26. My uncle belongs to the Rotery club and he went to New Orleans to join the convention. He brought his wife (I am actually related to her...my mom's younger sister.). And I went down there to see them!! It was soooo hot and humid...definitely not Wumpan's kind of town, but it had very nice people and food...I got to see my arch enemy, the home of the Saints, Super Dome, too. (Super Bowl XLIV)
The bus driver explained a little bit about the Saints and the Super Bowl, and I had to clog my ears and sing, "lalalalalala!! I am not listening!!" (I know Wumpan is juvenile.)For lunch, I had a po-boy sandwich (shrimp) at the convention center with fries...nice and cold, soggy fries...but what do you expect from a convention hall? The shrimp was actually nice and crispy.
For dinner, we went to the cafe called, "The Palm Court Cafe". They had some live music, and it was like screaming out New Orleans!! For starter, we had spicy shrimp, crab claws with herb dressing (kind of like pesto), shrimp/craw fish croquette. They were all yummy...I am getting hungry writing about it. The soup was oyster and spinach. Yummerz again. It was a pre-fix dinner and we all had a choice of seafood or meat (beef). For some reason, my aunt and uncle told me to have meat...(I won't ever understand why.) So I went along with it and had...pot roast...I can have pot roast anywhere...I can even make it at home...so while everyone at the table enjoyed some seafood in creole sauce with rice, I had...pot roast...yea...I guess it was good...sure, I would love to try some broccoli and potatoes in New Orleans since I never get to have them in New York...(I am still bitter about it.) Anyway, to wash these all down, I had nothing but the HURRICANE!! It is a drink made of dark and light rum and fruit punch. Pat O'brien's make the original and famouse hurricane, but this was very good as well. ご馳走様!!
