2009 Trip Day 23 - June 4

We started the day at Croissant D'Or, since we were having and early lunch with Bill at K-Paul's.

We met up with Bill at noon and walked down to K-Paul's. Bill had Mirliton Crawfish and Beef Casserole (Fried Mirliton Slices Covered with Beef, Crawfish, Onions, Peppers, Garlic and Seasonings, then Baked. Served with a Cheddar, Monterey Jack and Smoked Gouda Cheese Sauce). Zack had the K-Paul's In House Made Hot Sausage Po Boy (Fresh Ground Pork Mixed with Caramelized Veggies, Made Into Two (2) Patties, Fried and Served on 8" Buttered French Bread) and sweet potato fries. I had 1/2 of an Oyster Po Boy with onion rings and Peggy had the other 1/2 of the Po Boy and Onion rings. Below is a photo of my half. Everything was good and everyone seemed satisfied and best of all, it was Bill's treat!

We drove out to Magazine Street and checked out Funky Monkey and Fun Rockin' and then we drove over to Williams Plum Street Snoballs, whose actual address is on Burdette St (they are on the corner of Plum St and you actually enter on Plum). Peggy had a nectar cream and I had a strawberry shortcake cream, both were tasty. We then headed back into the FQ.

We went to DBA to see Paul Sanchez. Tonight he was accompanied by Jason Butler. Very talented and as always a great night of entertainment.

After we left DBA, we went to La Peniche. Zack had eggs, bacon, grits and toast. I had a roast beef sandwich (they have great tasting sliced roast beef) and Peggy was able to get her banana, peanut butter waffle.

2009 Trip Day 8 - May 20

Since we were going to Casamentos for lunch, we just had our light breakfast of croissants at Croissant D'or.

We left out a little after one, since we knew that they close at 2 sharp. When we got in front of Casamentos, the shutters were drawn down. I just figured they must be closed on Wednesday, but after getting back to the apartment and checking their web site, we found that they had already closed for the summer.

We had thought about Cafe Reconcile earlier, so we decided to go there.

I think everything must be good here, since everything we have had is great, but the catfish is our favorite. I had a catfish poboy with potato salad and Peggy had catfish with garlic mashed potatoes and mac and cheese.

We wanted the bananas foster bread pudding for dessert, but they had already run out of it. We'll have to go earlier next time. We had the strawberry shortcake instead and it was super tasty, plus Peggy said it was real shortcake and got to school me on what shortcake was. With 2 drinks, our bill was only 21.00. This is a super bargain.

After an afternoon rest we headed to music on the square and it was packed. We tried a pulled pork sandwich from Pull My Pork and it was just fair. But we did get a nectar snoball from Williams Plum Street Snoball stand.

Since we had had such a good lunch, for supper we just got a pepperoni pizza delivered from Rotolo's. It wasn't quite as good as the one we ate in their restaurant. Funniest thing was when I placed the order, I had to spell out Bourbon for whoever was on the other side of the phone. Since they are only 2 streets over from Bourbon, you would think that they night have heard of Bourbon Street!

We finished our meal off with a couple of the doberge squares we got from Dorignac's yesterday, splitting them in half so we could both have lemon and chocolate.
