Faith is now quite uncertain. I'm no longer acting-as-if.

Visitors Arriving
Friends from Connecticut will arrive this evening, which means that blogging will be light to non-existent for a few days. I will be checking in, so do continue to visit and leave comments, if you'd like.
Would you have some New Orleans style coffee for me? (Haven't had any approximation of it since the Blue Bottle Coffee people of Berkeley Farmers' Market fame -- have you had their iced New Orleans coffee? with chicory and everything; divine.) If you're short on cash I can send you a few bucks to get some :-). Enjoy it. And keep us posted.
Hi, everyone. We just hugged and kissed our visitors good-bye. We had a lovely time with them. They are as crazy as we are, and that makes for good conversation and good fun. I'll probably do a post about their visit.
We didn't get to New Orleans, because their visit was short, but we were able to pack in a good bit of sightseeing around here during their brief time with us.
Glad you had such a nice visit, Mimi. We're back home now. Got in late last night and were up at 3:15 Ha!
But we got unpacked, did the laundry, went out for a good Mexican breakfast, and got to Central Market at 7 a.m. to stock up on some goodies from Italy. We're going to try to duplicate our favorite pannini for lunch today.
Visitors from the NE can be a challenge when dining out. The food that seems mild to us seems to give them sweaty eyelids and red faces. Ha!
Mike, they love our food, and we don't have to lighten up on the hot stuff for them.
We met when we were all living in Mobile, Alabama, and the cooking there was quite good, too. The male (I'm going to have to make up names for them) of the couple's mother learned how to cook from an aunt in New Orleans, with whom she spent time.
Have fun!
ReplyDeleteUh oh! Have mercy on them poor northeasteners! Not too much filé in the gumbo!
ReplyDeleteJan, thanks.
ReplyDeletePJ, yes. And light on the Tabasco, too.
But at least you're making gumbo! Lucky visitors. Have fun :-).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all. We are enjoying them. We stayed up late. Grandpère and I were both in their wedding many, many years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Real guests take priority over virtual guests? Well! I never!
ReplyDeleteBelated wishes for a good time from me too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visitors Mimi!
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy New Year!
Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteNo jambalaya today--but I did have crabmeat cheesecake. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd beignets.
Hi, gang. Visitors still visiting. Our old friends are great company, plus, we are of like mind about many things. Yay!
ReplyDeleteKirstin! Crabmeat cheesecake!
Palace Cafe; my rector knows the owners. (His family's in the catering biz.)
ReplyDeleteLast time I was here, I had to split that three ways.
Kristin, I know the Palace Café. Good restaurant.
ReplyDeleteWe have walleye fish cakes but not cheesecake here in Lander. Your virtual friends are missing you.
