Since January, I don't work in New Orleans any more. All I had to do on that day we met was say, "Hey, I'm going to take a little longer lunch". A weekday requires a little more schedule-arranging now but I get a hankering for Liuzza'a, too. Haven't been there since January. As long as it’s a weekend or as long as I have enough notice, GWS.

Rob, I got Chef Folse's book today and it is a marvel to behold - I'm doing shrimp roumelade this weekend. BTW, when Tracey and I come down next year can we visit that restaurant you and had lunch at? I've got a fever and the only thing that will cure it is a Shrimp Po'Boy!

I've always liked The Long, Hot Summer - especially pertinent given Paul Newman's passing today. And Rob you're right everyone south of Ohio are nothing but mosquito-swatting, A/C deprived nobodies with nothing to do but sit on their porches rocking their lives away. Wait a second, that's Jana - oh never mind, she has A/C. :-) Rob, Jana - thanks for the suggestions. I’ve always liked The Long, Hot Summer - especially pertinent given Paul Newman’s passing today.

Very quaint. Folse's is worth having, though. As for movies, I'm not at all objective about the ones supposedly depicting Louisiana or deep south life. You'd think we all live in the swamp with no air conditioning. I'll throw one in for the fun factor though. Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte was filmed at Oak Alley Plantation in Baton Rouge. It's a hoot of a movie. River Roads is the favorite cookbook in Louisiana although there is no history other than the recipes, themselves, especially in the first one of the four editions.

The music is wonderful. Get this one for sure. Oops…forgot this one, Belizar the Cajun with Armand Assante, I love this one as it takes place in the back in time. The music is wonderful.
