oh, the food

Let me start this post by saying:

1. Ben and I shared most meals

2. This is the reason I did not take Lisa up on her fitness challenge this week

3. I have started the South Beach fast again today (Saturday).

Oh my goodness, the food in the Big Easy is not so easy on the body! I have never had such good food on a vacation. My cousin helped us start the week off with a raspberry salad and pesto pasta, then onto Lucas Films Party - greens, pulled pork, roast beef, coleslaw and bread pudding and pecan pie ala mode. Wednesday - turkey panini for lunch, beignets from CafeduMonde, then Mulate's - the original cajun restaurant for jambalaya and seafood. Thursday - we had roast beef po'boys on the recommendation of Lisa and Guy from Food Network. My cousin Pat, took us to this dive called Parasols (white building) for the most amazing sandwiches ever. We also had muffalatas from Frank's. said to be the original restaurant to create the sandwiches. That night, we met my aunt and uncle at Mittendorf's for seafood. Oh, I am getting hungry now just thinking about it all.
