Well ladies tomorrow is the Parade that they throw cabbage, carrots, onions, and veggies in Chalmette. And guess who's going? ME ME ME This is one parade I will not miss. It's the Irish, Italian, Islano's parade they have every year in Chalmette and they said they have enough people that want to ride they are going to have it this year. Instead of the 50 something floats they had last year it's only going to be 25 but hey I had too much cabbage last year anyway. I'll let you know how I make out.  
I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

I'm burnt to a chrisp!!!! That darn wind got me. I had a blast!!! As usual. I have been hit today by cabbage in the head, the arms, the legs, the butt, you name it I was hit with it and on it. My pickup truck is full to the top with all the loot we got. My neighbor went with me and she and I had to get a man to help us lift the bags in the truck when it was time to leave. We caught about 4 wash tubs of beads and junk and then we caught about 2 wash tubs of cabbage and another washtub of potatos, carrots, onions, lemons, they were even thowing ramin noodle soup packs. It was a blast. I got my bath and now I'm going to bed. My neighbor and I will deal with the cabbage in the morning. Dorothy and Jan, I stopped at my house in Chalmette before the parade and there is guppies in my pool. No fooling. They must have gotten there during the storm and got trapped in there. They are beautiful. Some are about 4 inches with long beautiful tails. I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

My husband cooked a cabbage last night and I told him about you getting pelted with them. He wondered how I always attract crazy friends -- even on line. So I showed him Jan's guts. Dorothy |

...with guppies on the side.....probably taste a bit like whitebait! I'll have you know my guts are a Work Of Art. A pity that having put them on display I then had the upchucks last night - perhaps too many people have been squeezing my stomach and the sympathetic virations.....no? O well. must have been the dodgy pub lunch.
love and kisses, Jan

Only in New Orleans!!!!!!!!!! We eat anything down here and we are up anytime for a good party. We even celebrate divorces!!!!!!!!! And you already know about our funeral. We are survivors that's for sure. Anybody who would spead newspaper on the kitchen table and pour crawfish straight on the table and eat them until you hurt has got to be nuts but if you don't down here then you are not "Naturally NuAwlin's Honey Child"

There are a couple of places in the Florida Keys that do the same thing with shrimp, etc. They bring them to your table in a big pot and dump them out on newspaper and let you dig in up to your elbows. Yuuuuummmmmm! Yuuuummmmmm!!! Shrimp and conch fritters in the Florida Keys!!!! Patsy Patsy

We have seafood boils and have half the community over to the house. Most of the time we have them under the carport so it doesn't get all over the floor in the house and it can be washed away what is spilled off the table. During lent which is now Catholics can't eat meat on Friday as a little fasting so we have seafood boils on Friday during that time. But if we plan a picnic or a family outing to the park we take the boiling rigs and boil the seafood on the spot. Everywhere else they take the barbecue pit to the park, not here in Louisiana it's the boiling pot and burners.  I can taste those critters now just talking about them. OUUUUUUlala
