One sure thing about Louisiana is that the food is delicious! And for the most part, it’s food I can’t get at home. Of course, if “home” was Louisiana, I could get all the foods I love every day but that might not be a good thing either.
Bride’s Cake Ice Cream
For starters, why can I not get Bride’s Cake ice cream at home? It’s at Walmart. It’s at every grocery store I go into. Cannot find it at home anywhere!
Jo’s Party House Cupcakes
Then there’s Jo’s Party House. The above photo was from 2009. I get the cupcakes every time I come here. I dream about these cupcakes. No one makes cupcakes like Jo’s.
King Cake
The King Cake. Only if I’m here around Mardi Gras do I get King Cake but . . I’m here and it’s almost Mardi Gras so we’ve had several King Cakes. Vince found the baby in the first one. We haven’t discovered the baby in the second one yet, but he’s in there somewhere.
The Baby
Last night, we had boiled crawfish, boiled shrimp, boiled crabs and potatoes.
Seafood
Not only have we had amazing food but I’ve been able to visit with old friends . . and today we’re having lunch with old friends. Darn . . I hate for this week to end but soon, it will end; soon we’ll be back at home. It will be nice to be home but it’s super nice being here.

That seafood boil looks delicious!

I was recently home in Arkansas and start thinking, “it sure would be nice to live in the south again.” For one thing, I would NEVER get my Cowboy to live in the south, for another thing, I couldn’t stand the humidity/heat–I’ve been gone too long. I do miss the south–I miss the politeness/manners and I really miss the food!

Now I’m hungry!

We can get Brides Cake here in NW Texas…only at WM.
Nelle Coursey says
And you are missed here at home! Will be glad when you and Beth get back home!

I’m confused….Vince found a baby in the King cake?? Was that “baby” actually in the cake, is there supposed to be one in there and if so why?

I think you have your answer.”Where to retire too” There is no place like home. Even if it cost more.

You need one of those travel freezers so you can plug it into your car and take stuff home……
