Cuisson des beignets . . .

. . . sans pantalon.


Well, I wasn't, of course.

It just looks that way because I'm wearing shorts.

Long shorts - but not as long as the apron.

For fathers' day, Lisa sent me a very nice card and a beignet kit from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. I visited Cafe Du Monde the first time with my parents when I was 15 years old. In the six or seven times we've been back since then, Mrs. B and I never fail to stop in at least once.

Think of the lightest, sweetest, tastiest doughnut you've ever had. Beignets are better than that.

If you're ever in New Orleans, do not - repeat, do not - leave without going to the Cafe Du Monde.

I've only been to New Orleans once, and it was a very brief visit -- I want to go back when I have more time to be a tourist. I've heard great things about those Cafe Du Monde beignets!

But what I want to know is, what happened to your microwave?? :)

Lisa,

It was temporarily on the injured reserve list.

It had a bad door switch, and I had to order one. Of course, it failed on a Friday, and I couldn't get a new one until Monday.

Did you know you can actually make oatmeal and heat soup on the range top? Who could have guessed that?
