_New Orleans_

Here's a link to a marvellous restaurant in the French Quarter,

http://neworleans.citysearch.com/review/4428848

I had a jambalaya that was memorable. The commentator all seemed to
enjoy this place.

On a return visit, I'd like to sample the tasso and duck dishes.

I liked the attitude of this place, sort of a honky tonk, with juke box
music. And yet the service was incredible.

Great, you really enjoyed it

A really wonderfully central place in the quarter - Cafe Du Monde.
Cafe with outside tables where it is obligatory to have beignet.

People watching is fabulous from this old style cafe that is now almost
150 years old and open 24 hours every day except Christmas. I guess
the employees will soon finally have a much deserved day off.

There's a great slide show of the building and architecture at

make sure to click through both yesterday and today links to see how
the cafe has evolved.

_Baltimore_

I am amused by the fact that a former employee of Coops has his own
restaurant in Edgewood MD.

Clarence's Taste of Baltimore.

Perhaps this is accessible once I move. I've never heard of crab
pretzels. I'll try them though.

I'm wondering what their taste might be. ..

_Cold Mountain_

I (TV) watched (for the second time) this great movie on Sunday
www.imdb.com/title/tt0159365/plotsummary. Although there are many
horrible scenes it's a wonderful love story. And, moreover, I really
enjoyed the great N.C. landscapes and, particularly, the Blue Ridge
Mountains.

I haven't seen it, but if it is on cable, I will make a point to catch
it this week.
I have been really busy and haven't been doing much tv watching.
I know the movie won an abundance of awards.

_The House_

I got a chinese fortune cookie today: everything will go well with
your home.

Let's hope this is real and that the purchase and move really will go
that well.

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

The house has been empty for four years, so there is much work to do on
it. I will barely be ready for the real estatenik tomorrow.
I stopped to walmart today and got another chinese meal.
The owners are formerly from Philadelphia and lived not to far from my
part of the city.
The teenage daughter said -- o you are Ukrainian. Those folks are good
athletes.
I laughed and said, WHAT are you blind, we are also intelligent and
quite beautiful.
I sort of embarrassed her, so I told her I was a terrible athlete.

The cookie today said "birds are entangled by their feet and men by
their tongues"
Ok I will let the real estatenik talk and will shut up.

Real estatenik - meaning?

Real estate agent. I made up the word. Beatnik, peacenik, real estate
nik.

"I know none of y'all satisfied, satisfied / The way prices has been
going up on things / I can barely buy a morning paper...But then early
one morning I got me a paper / I sat down on my living room floor and
opened it up / Guess what I saw? I saw the president of the United
States / The man said he wasn't gonna give it up / He did resign / But
he still turned around and left all us poor folks behind / They say
they got another man to take his place / But I don't think that he can
satisfy the human race."[[Teddy Pendergrass, Bad Luck
