Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!

Farmer Jeff and I are heading off to New Orleans and the Southern Foodways Alliance Symposium in Oxford, Mississippi. We will be eating ourselves silly, taking lots of pictures, talking about food to anyone who will listen and enjoying the time we will spend together.

We will report what we see in NOLA. We have told our pup, Tasso, that we will be visiting his homeland. We have arranged to visit the 9th ward and see what Katrina hath wrought. A good friend of ours will be in New Orleans at the same time building houses through Habitat for Humanity.

We have found a guardian angel for our menagerie, lovely Jessica, so they will not be alone and fending for themselves. Be good, kids!
