Parting the Mists

Well, we’ve been back from New Orleans and Texas for a few days, but it took a bit of recuperation to get back to my normally scheduled posts.

This card has funny timing for me – we were doing this during our trip. I love many of the traditional dishes of the New Orleans area – notably jambalaya and red beans & rice with smoked sausage. This time, I discovered the break pudding with brandy sauce at Mother’s Restaurant and thought I’d gone to Avalon. 😉 Someone has posted a recipe for it, so I’m going to attempt to recreate it this summer. My two cohorts in travel had never been to the city and seemed to enjoy it a bit, even though we were only there two days.

As always when we travel, we found a good bookstore and bought more things to crowd the bookshelves.

I’ve also started reading a preview copy of Moon Book’s Poppets and Magical Dolls by Lucya Starza, so look for a review of that soon!
