What the hell is chicory, anyway? This link tells you, if you’re interested.
Anyway, as Tim explained in his LJ, today we got a gift from seahorsemystic. OH MY. To treat Tim, AND Tom, AND me, to cover all our birthdays for the year, to just be the giver she is, we have chicory coffee (regular and decaf) from New Orleans’s Cafe’ Du Monde, along with a coffee mug, a coffee cup, a souvenir coffee cup that’s so cute it immediately went into my “special” curio cabinet, and an apron with an illustration of the famous coffee stand.
Now why would one need an apron? Because when one makes beignets from the mix that also came in the gift basket, one will need to fend off all that powdered sugar.
Lindsey, it’s on! Beignet fry-fest when everyone’s done with their traveling. Shannon, we will lift a coffee cup to you. You’re so kind. Thank you.
Ahhh COOL! I am so happy you got it! You ALL deserve it. I sure wish I could try a Beignet! Enjoy it, because you are so worth it.
WHAT FUN!!!!!
The very first night I am in New Orleans I am going to get up before dawn, go there, (because it is in walking distance) and I am going to eat beignets and watch the sunrise… although I am not sure what direction I will have to face.
Oh I see…. YOU’RE more than happy for a beignet night if YOU’RE the one hosting….. not even my fryin up some beignets will get you off of the Compound. — just pokin’ ya with a stick… I would LOVE to do a beignet night when I get back into town. I miss you guys.
