It was being held a The Pontchartrain Center in Kenner about 30 minutes from the French Quarter. We loaded up on some books and videos (probably more than we should have, since now I've got to get them stuffed into the car for the trip back home).</span></span></b><br />

Dorignac's has a new commercial on TV down here where there slogan is "We Got Dat" and to my amazement that have Dukes Mayonnaise, although we're getting pretty used to Blue Plate, which is to New Orleans what Duke's is to us native Greenvillians.</span></span></b><br />

We decided to go to The Palace Cafe for their 5 after 5 special and it rained all the way during our walk, but we made it in at 6:45, just 15 minutes before the cutoff....unfortunately, we didn't get waited on until 5 minutes after the cutoff time. I decided to complain to the management and this got fixed posthaste. We had buffalo oysters, duck spring rolls with a vidalia onion ma<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">rmalade</span> dip, and of course, our true reason to come...White Chocolate Bread Pudding!

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Horn's now occupies the space that our beloved La Peniche used to be in, but we thought we would give them a try. All I can say is too bad that La Peniche is gone, because Horn's sure didn't win us over. Everything but the sausage was overcooked with Peggy's waffle being so hard, she got tired of cutting it. The manager did come back and asked us how things were and when she told him about the waffle, he took it off our bill...guess I should have told him, that I'm no fan of crispy pancakes....yes crispy pancakes. Oh well, live and learn. I'm not even going to provide a link to this place, since it was such a disappointment. </span></span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">We went to The Mint, part of the Parks Department, to see Tom Buck, who gave a one hour lecture with examples on the development of Jazz in New Orleans...to bad regular school was never this entertaining. He was introduced by park ranger, Bruce Barnes...as in Sunpie Barnes. After this concert we walked around to Louisiana Music Factory and caught the last part of Kyndra Joi & Soul Therapy. There was hardly anyone there and those that were there drifted off....too bad...I think they looked at this group and thought "just a bunch of sisters from the hood".... but they were super talented and had good stage presence.</span></span></b><br />

I had boudin balls, sweet potato beignets (foie gras fondue, duck debris, chicory coffee ganache), and pork belly steam bun (confit pork belly, pickled napa cabbage, with a peach bbq sauce) . Peggy had kale and satsuma salad with spicy pecans, goat cheese, and muscadine vinaigrette and for dessert we split a pecan pie not pie (served in a jar with a chocolate covered cracklin and peanut butter whipped cream) with a couple of martinis, a rum collins, and coffee.

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">After a short rest we took the ferry to Gretna Fest.

We ate a great meatball sandwich<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> and</span> some tasty chargrilled oysters. One of the main people I wanted to see was an old rockabilly star Joe (Don't Mess With My Ducktail) Clay, but he turned out to be more of a player in a band than the actual leader of the band. We caught a little bit of Bonerama, and then walked over to see a duo called Baby Bee and they turned out to be the best we saw today. The only other band we watched for a while was Mrz Crowley, a cover party band, who were also good. We tried to see a band called Little White Lies, but they didn't show up, so I guess there name suited them.</span></span></b><br />

With a couple of sodas, our bill was 25.00 pre tip. After eating we walked down Royal for several blocks and turned back up walked back up Bourbon and back to the apartment to rest up for tomorrow.</span></span></b><br />

Pretty good, but it didn't match up to the Fried Green Tomato one. Mother's has a similar Po Boy and we've tried it also, I just don't get the mix of ham and roast beef.

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I got up early this morning to call roadside assistance to change my tire since Sunday morning would be calmer in the FQ. I had to wait on the corner 1/2 an hour for him to show up while Velvet Underground's "Waiting For The Man" ran through my head. Surprising, at least to me, was "the man" turned out to be Pop A Lock. <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">W</span></span>e went to La Peniche for breakfast. I had Matt's Meat Pie (sausage baked in a cornbread crust and covered with pepper gravy) with grits. It was just ok, nothing special. Peggy had her standard 2 egg breakfast with grits, bacon and toast. We can only guess they get these "two" eggs from the same chickens as The Steak House Cafeteria gets their atomic chicken. With two beverages our bill was $24.00</span></span></b><br />

Bargain price (at least for the FQ) $12.00.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">There's not much to report today, since I was stuck inside with a twisted ankle. I had 1/2 of a croissant left from Haydel's. Peggy caught up on the washing. We got lunch across the street at The Quartermaster, also referred to as the Nelly Deli. They make a great triple decker club and with a couple of pieces of cake, our bill was $14.00.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">My ankle got a little bit better and we ventured out for supper and found flyers for Cosimo's on Burgundy. Since they delivered we decided to order from them. This was probably a mistake, since the burger was tasteless, although the chili cheese dog was pretty good. The two meals cost $15.00.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Our friend David came in for a short visit today and we went to Camellia Grill for breakfast -- a waffle, bacon, pancakes, omelet and three coffees and the tab was $28.00. After meeting David's roommates Danny and Randy, who had come to take him home, we left them at Cafe du Monde and went in search of our lunch. Drago's gets the credit for introducing char-grilled oysters to the New Orleans dining world and since they now had a location in the bottom of the Hilton, we thought we would give it a try.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">These were a couple of dollars cheaper than Acme's and were even better than Acme's. How good were they? Well after polishing off the above dozen we ordered dessert (see below)</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Yeah, you rite! We ordered another 1/2 dozen for our dessert. With a couple of drinks, our tab at Drago's was $34.00. Since we had a late lunch, we ate a light supper at P's Louisiana Restaurant....ok, it was Popeye's again! Only $8.00 so it evened out lunch. While eating in Popeye's we saw a sight that we wish we could have taken a photo of...a gentlemen in a very nice suit, french cuffs on his sleeves, wearing a bowtie and carrying a large Sak's shopping bag, came in. He got his order, sat at a table across from us, and tucked a paper napkin over his bowtie before he ate...making for quite an unusual pairing of fast food and New Orleans lawyer look.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Earlier today at Rouse's, Peggy got some New Orleans Ice Cream Co. Chicory and Coffee ice cream. I had a bite of it and can only say it was so good it transcended the mere words ice cream. I had a piece of coconut cake from the Quartermaster across the street - no photo since I assume everyone knows what a piece of cake looks like...but then again you know what they say about the word assume!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">We were going out of the FQ today, so we had a light breakfast at Croissant D'Or. Peggy had a pastry called Frangipane named for the almond creme filling. I had a blueberry croissant. We split a coke. Our tab was $7.00.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">After hitting a few thrift stores on Jefferson Highway, we stopped by Haydel's Bakery and found they were closed on Monday. We decided to have lunch at Crabby Jacks, since I had heard it was good. We had their most famous po boy - Fried Green Tomatoes with Shrimp Remoulade. Sounded good and tasted even better, although it was one more messy sandwich to eat. Our lunch here cost us $15.00 and was well worth it. I hope to get to go back and try something else. Of course coming back from Jefferson, I got off at the wrong exit and wound up on the West Bank and had to pay a toll to get back over the bridge into New Orleans. I can't count the times this has happened to me, looks like I would learn, but the old are so forgetful :-)</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">For an afternoon snack we stopped by Cafe du Monde for two cafe au laits and one order of beignets.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Light dinner tonight was at Remoulade (Arnaud's casual side). We split a piece of boudin (got too excited about eating it and forgot to take a photo) and an order of Natchitoches Meat Pies. The boudin was excellent, the meat pies were very good, and the fries as usual were terrible. With a couple of soda's our bill was $18.00.</span></b></div>
