Got to see the French Quarter today as it prepares for the big Festival this weekend. The city (this part of it anyway) has cleaned up nicely. I was tempted to try the alligator sandwich but chickened out.  | ||

Alligator tastes like chicken with a very slight touch of fish oil. No wonder it's made with a load of spices and usually deep fried. They go down much better with Jamiesons. The pun was intended. It was a business lunch so couldn't drink alcohol to kill the taste. I actually got to see parts of New Orleans that I had not seen before on my one and only previous visit. I saw the beautiful sections and the devastated sections from the hurricane (reading utility meters takes you into every area of the city). They are getting ready for the "French Quarter Festival" this weekend and the downtown area was full of tourists having fun and looking forward to the music and variety of foods. They were serving the alligator sandwiches on the street corners from the local vendors. Wish I could have stayed and had my wife come down to join me. | ||

| Subject: RE: Guess there are no boat sailors in New Orleans In New Orleans???????????? Doc, have you been out in the sun too long or has the odor of New Orleans fogged your brain cells? I trucked in and out of New Orleans for a number of years and decided to take Sharon down there to see the sights. While walking down Bourbon St, together, she got propositioned more than I did. She didn't much care for the place after that and really didn't like me going there after that either. She about got sick in the Schwegman's grocery store in Metairie down on Tchoupitoulas St.. The smell and the flies weren't to her liking. There was a real good red beans, rice and sausage place a couple shops from there. It was inside of a warehouse. You sure can find plenty of skeletons there to take home and hang in your closet. Edited by Ralph Luther 2009-04-17 5:59 AM | |||
