Krewe du Smoke

[pensrock]

I'm snacking on some UTZ Red Hot chips right now. They are pretty good but my fav is still Gibbles Red Hot.  :)

[hal4uk]

Hal, I'll probably re-freeze some of the sticks/sausages while we figure out when/where to divvy them up.

SWEET!
Looking forward to doing some cooking  ;D

I'm getting slightly closer to having a kitchen...
Newton ain't quite sure what this shiny thing is, but he suspects it can make popcorn...

Looks like everyone had a great time.   

[NePaSmoKer]

We had a really good time. Wish we could have stayed an extra night.

Passed here around 930ish this morning.



Was told this time to give these to my wife who didnt get them from the FLASO.



Had some things from the Krewe we brought back. Thanks Larry, Pat & Green One  ;D



Did i mention that we didnt come home empty  :D








WE DAT

[Ka Honu]

Survived the first weekend of JazzFest - awesome food & music.  Y'all should'a stuck around; the bon temps are definitely roullezing.  I have three days to recover before the next round - already have Cochon, Jacques Imo's, Bon Ton Cafe, and Bayona scheduled between coffee & beignets at DuMonde, a muffaletta at Central Grocery, and trips to Felix's for oysters.  Can you say "fat and cholesterol?"

While not nearly as "overstocked" as those of my fellow krewe members who had cars, I definitely have enough rubs, sauces, and andouille to last for the next year.  All I have left to buy is some Zatarain's mustard, Cajun Chef hot sauce, and turtles (you should pardon the expression) for SWMBO from Southern Candymakers.

Only one remains but the saga continues...

[GusRobin]

Southern Candymakers is one of our favorite places in NO.

Only one remains but the saga continues

Yes it does!
(just handed a Wasabi Mac to MrsD...  WHOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!)
I wanted her to get one before I ate them ALL...
I guess I get the rest!!   ;D  ;D  ;D
Thanxxx, Turtle.
They're goooooood!!!  (At least they are to ME!)

Gotta wait for the "STC DROP" to get all the sausage, etc...

[hal4uk]

Hey, Rick...
What kind of dog is that (the one I see half of) ?

[Tenpoint5]

Hal, If I remember right it is a toy or Emperors 0zu. Its a mini Kiki the jerky pup

Some more shots from before the Krewe arrived...


Laura Plantation









(maybe Larry will remember the story behind the numbers on the beams)








Oak Alley Plantation






WHO DAT!








Took a while to get a picture of the 'alley' without a bunch of people in the way..




We couldn't get the obligatory shot of the front of the plantation, as a bus full of Japanese tourists was parked in the way.   So I stole this picture.  :D




After all that culture, (and walking/driving) Larry and I retired to the RS's oyster bar for a cold beverage.
