For me, she stands on her left foot, spinning clockwise, backward.
Vacation: Mark and I had a great time in New Orleans. We were there for the Voodoo Music Festival, though we didn't attend that. We did hear it, though. I thought it was just normal for Bourbon Street.
We saw a New Orleans funeral while on the Haunted History tour and stopped outside the LaLaurie Mansion on Royal Street, the most haunted home in New Orleans--with good reason, unfortunately. The LaLauries were a hideously sick and depraved couple.
Dinner at Emeril's NOLA restaurant was marvelous! I had the best filet mignon I've ever eaten in my life, along with breaded portabella mushrooms stuffed with bleu cheese. *swoons* Mark had roast duck in a brandy reduction sauce. For dinner on Saturday night, we went to Voodoo Barbecue on St. Charles Street, which I highly recommend. They serve both brisket and pulled pork, along with chicken and sausages.
On Saturday, we took a riverboat ride on the Natchez, viewing the stretch of the Mississippi River near New Orleans, including Algiers Point and St. Bernard's parish. Mark visited the D-Day Museum on Sunday.
Yesterday, Mark and I had pizza for lunch with our friend Donna, and I ordered tiropitas and spanakopitas for Christmas dining--3 dozen of each! So we will seriously need to host or attend the House Bedlam Christmas party, this year.
