New Orleans

Was in New Orleans this weekend for yet another leadership meeting. Had two good meals...one at Palace Cafe, and I enjoyed a yummy crabmeat cheesecake and gulf fish pecan, with Pecan-crusted with "Creole meunière sauce, spiced pecans, popcorn rice and vegetable du jour." Oh yeah, and some bites of some obligatory bread pudding. Dinner Saturday was at Calcasieu, with gumbo, braised meat pie, iceberg with bluecheese & buttermilk, slow cooked duck fricasse with dirty rice, and yes, chocoalate bread pudding, which was quite delectable. Yum. The company was good. Had lunch at Crescent City Brewhouse, for some crab stuffed shrimp and weisse beer, though I was still hungry afterwards. I did get a run in, which was good exercise.

Still not a big plan of New Orleans. We had a drink at Pat O'Briens, and walking back, we sort the usual assortment of flashing girls, puking boys, and general debauchery. We saw a group of teenagers dropped off right before we went back to the hotel room. Man, I felt old!!
