Home and Heart

Chris’s Aunt Ruby is a native born Cajun – maiden name DePlantis. To hear her story about being a flight nurse in VietNam, go to http://www.surefootedfilms.org and look for the interview titled I said, “I want to go to VietNam” We love staying with her when we visit. She enjoyed going to The Four Seasons restaurant with us.

Baked Alaska – and yes, the knife is supposed to be sticking straight down. The three of us shared it!

Back at her home in Algiers parish, she made crawfish and shrimp pasta. The crawfish (pictured on the fork) are a great delicacy

We enjoyed the beignet’s at Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter.

and a wonderful Street Poet wrote us a poem about going to Malta…

We also enjoyed some time at NOMA – New Orleans Museum of Art.
