For those of you that live in the New Orleans area, be sure to come out and catch the Krewe of Caesar parade tonight on the traditional Metairie route. I will be on Float #11, neutral ground side, bottom level. Anyone with a "Dave" or "Canal Street Chronicles" sign gets hammered with beads.

I so wish I could be there.

I’d love to get a face full of beads thrown at me. You could knock me out cold and make me look like this as I lay unconscious on the street:

This is when I wish I lived in New Orleans

I guess I’ll just have to stick to Sourdough bread and annoying niner fans.

put a cut-open milk jug on the end of a broomstick with a poster board "CSC" bullseye sign mounted behind it...

wonder what kind of non-bead “throws” Dave will have – frisbees, cups, spears (we used to love getting spears and pirate swords and GIANT TOOTHBRUSHES were always fun, too)

If I wasn't such a good cook...

I’d stay homesick. No food like Cajun cooking. Only problem here is the prices for the necessary ingredients. Thanks to my Sam’s membership I can get shrimp fairly priced, and even oysters, even though they are California farmed. Pay dearly for oysters on the half shell here and they are so small compared to back home. Sigh. My uncle owns the Crawfish Co-op in Breaux Bridge so I stock up when I go home.

I've got "Real" crawfish tails (1 lb.frozen pkgs.) Duanes Crawfish Farms Ville Platte, La.

in the freezer, not the chinese ones. I make a Crawfish Pasta, pretty tight.

When I first got here, I thought folks were just being snooty

when they said you could taste the difference between the Chinese stuff and the local tails. Then I tried both side-by-side. The tails from China tasted like mud (and not the good kind, either). I always check the label now.
