well what a tough month it has been travelling here and there just to tempt the tummy no sooner than we returned from our stormy Mexican fiesta than I jumped right back in the saddle and headed to the French Quarter for mucho comida, jazzy blues, history and community support. The Brad Pitt 9th Ward project is so special - a floating house and all. One of these celebrity chef's should take their talents to the hard hit areas so that you all wonderful tourists will venture out of your comfort zone to really support the need. Are you listening Mr. Pitt, Ms. Spicer, and Mr. Besh. I have to organize my thoughts on the dinning extravaganza I dragged my comrades on and get back to you stay tuned.... frog's and fishes

Back from the storm with rejuvination and salt... We drove up the coast to Todos Santos for some homemade Damiana liquor and Sea of Cortes sea salt to carry home. If you get the chance to venture to the cape - make sure you indulge in some Damiana for your margharita. Damiana is an herbal tea as well which settles the tummy and those womanly monthly pains as well as boosts the fertility hormones.... The best reason for the trip up the coast to Todos Santos is the return sunset stop at Art and Beer. I had a pure and au natural pina colada right up there with my Galapagos cocktail. Since hurricane rick was hanging over us, we spent many hours watching the powerful surf and sipping on some wonderful Mexican rose. Who would have thought we could enjoy local wines on the Mexican coast. We of course indulged in the local tacos at Gardenia's by the McDonalds in Cabo as well as our new find in San Jose - Taqueria Mexico If you travel to San Jose in the winter months, check out the new loca...

hi ya'llllll we just returned from a jam packed 4 day eating extravaganza... well actually a little walkin mixed in or really a lot of walkin mixed in.... New Orlean's isn't big on wayfaring but they sure are freindly and nice with directions. Southern hospitality exudes and made any shortcomings fine by me!!!! some of my top spot's First morning treat the ever bustling Cafe Dumonde - a little bit of a tourist trap but for good reason. 800 Decatur St. on the river in the Quater. Great coffee and beingets and that's it - who needs anything else to start your day Best paella and the most mouth watering, buttery smooth chocolate cake i ever have wrapped my tongue around - I am buying anyone who get's me the real recipe dinner at Langosta and i will promote their spot on our site.... PLEASE HELP Lola's - 3312 Esplenade A little bit of a drive but well worth it - Have the Sangria! The best meal of our trip - Fried green Tomatoes - yeha!!! Atchafaya - " somet...
