It’s Christmas in New Orleans, and man is it hot here. That wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s also muggy. Everyone around the house is quite lethargic, and a couple of us have had a nap already.
In addition to Christmas, it is also my friend J’s birthday. I made a cake this morning, and in we’ll get to it later, after dinner. Of course, dinner may be leftovers from last night’s Christmas dinner. We’ll see.
Speaking of Christmas dinner, it was overall pretty awesome. We had a bunch of guests. We had planned on dinner being later than usual because J didn’t get off work until around 6, but it really ended up being served around 10. I’m not sure anyone really noticed—the conversation was quite spirited.
We did notice that the food was excellent, however. I think that was one of the best holiday dinners in my memory. Really great.
Anyway, it’s on to enjoying the rest of my little vacation. That, of course, means food. We’re going to Commander’s Palace tomorrow for lunch, and to Mittendorf’s (thin-fried catfish) at some point this weekend. It’ll be great.
