Month: October 2023

We came back. Every place we have tried has been compared to Kenner Seafood. We decided to sample it again to make sure we were just not really hungry that day. It is still wonderful. We had a cup of seafood gumbo with rice that was good. Mike had fried shrimp with coleslaw and potato salad. Mike said the coleslaw and potato salad were excellent. Jana had crab cakes, shrimp, jalapeno hushpuppies and brown gravy (roast beef debris) and rice. Very good. For dessert we had bread pudding with rum sauce.

Mike needed to go to Office Depot. This place was in the same area so we tried it. We both got 2 tacos, Al Pastor & Fried Shrimp for Jana, Ground Beef and Fried Shrimp for Mike .

We decided to kill some time while we waited for the eclipse to grow. So, of course we headed over to get drinks and beignets. As we walked up we saw a tour bus pulling up. We hurried to beat them to the line but they were picking up tourist and not dropping off. Mike waited in line while I grabbed a table for two near the sax musician that is there several days a week.

Sitting in the warm breeze with Mike enjoying our snack I felt overwhelmed with gratitude that we have had this opportunity. I never realized how nice it would be to just look at each other and say, “What do you want to do next?” Sometimes it is a walk. Sometimes a snack. Sometimes a nap. Sometimes it is a good book. Sometimes it is a drive in a direction we have never gone in before. I look forward to the adventures we will have.

After an afternoon napping and reading we decided to stay in the neighborhood and look for somewhere close. We took a break from the seafood and came here. Jana got the daily special of Fried Ribs and Mike got a Brisket Wedge Salad. The cornbread was very good with honey butter on top.

We drove around the Garden District and found this french bakery on Magazine Street. Magazine street is lined with coffee shops, artists, boutiques and restaurants. You can also stroll by beautiful homes and gardens. We grabbed some regular and chocolate croissants for breakfast tomorrow. They were sold out of the chocolate croissant bread pudding.

After lunch we headed over to the Up Town area and the Garden District. We picked up Jana’s free Nothing Bundt Cake for her birthday next week and stoped at Creole Creamery to check it out. There are a couple of locations here in New Orleans.

Dessert! Yum! Mike got udder butter and Jana got cookie monster.

After a lazy morning we headed here for lunch. This was recommended by one of Mike’s coworkers. Jana got shrimp with fettuccine alfredo and Mike got sausage, red beans & rice. It was a typical neighborhood bar. The food was okay. Maybe we should have ordered something else. MIke’s root beer did come in a huge frosted mug.
