Thursday's adventures in the Big Easy

Hello, French Quarter. I like your shutters.
What's left of brunch at Li'l Dizzy's Cafe: grits, hot sausage, crab omelet, jambalaya omelet, "lost bread" french toast, among other things. Oh so delicious, all.

Off to learn some history at the Louisiana State Museum.

Jeanette taking instruction from Chef Doris Finister of Two Sisters Kitchen (where we're eating brunch on Saturday morning).

I'm getting in on the action by pouring on the "red gravy" (aka: tomato sauce) under Doris' watchful eye. We're making her shrimp and okra specialty.

It's nearly finished!



Then we learned about gumbo and bread pudding from Chef Kevin Belton of Li'l Dizzy's Cafe.









Enjoying my first taste of gumbo!
