Years ago, my husband and I attended a conference in New Orleans. We so enjoyed the beignets and Cafe Du Mond coffee, and we bought some coffee home. When we made it, it didn’t taste at all like it had down there. We followed the directions. Did yours turn out okay? I could eat beignets and pralines all day! Glad you had a good time there, and visiting your friend.

Wow almost didn’t recognize you:) Write me and I’ll tell you why!
mm, mm good!
That does look good….
Yummie! My sis and I were just talking about those yummie little creations on Easter. We went to new Orleans as kids and of course have eaten Beignet’s many many times since. They are scrumptious! Good memories! I’d love to drink some of that good coffee too! It’s been too long! We were quizing eachother about what all we remembered. We were like 8 or 9. We stayed at the Dauphine Orleans and cruised Bourbon Street until the wee hours, or so it seemed. Peace!
love the music…and I bet I would love the coffee, too.
OMG! you actually MADE those? I used to love having them at a corner cafe with a french friend when I was in DC. love 2U
Seems to be an extended breakfast, too bad friend could not come and enjoy with you.

they look quite good!
ryc: summer is GREAT ! I haven’t tried cafe du monde but a Xanga friend in Italy talks about it. I should give it a try.
yeah, my husband went to see the Riverwalk on a conference trip…they were still buidling it. He said it might be nice once it was fiished.
IS that you? You look so different!
