Beignets....Mmmm

David & I decided to make a trip to Louisiana before going north to Alaska. We have enjoyed visiting friends and meeting new friends along the way. What joy and blessing - following God's path for each of us has been an adventure and blessing and we are confident that the journey will be just that - an adventure and blessing.

Last night after visiting several people, David & I went to Morning Call to experience some delicious beignets with our cafe au lait. My cafe au lait was frozen while David's was nice and hot. The waiters and waitresses were amazing with their systematic approach to creating the perfect cafe au lait. They took two pitchers from the counter - one containing coffee and the other milk. When we received our beignets, I took one onto my plate and sprinkled a thin layer of powdered sugar over the top. David then took the shaker and showed me how beignets should really look - completely covered with a thick layer of powdered sugar. Mmm. I was on vacation so I decided I needed to live a little and experience the culture in its true form and have all the sugar expected of a beignet. Oh what a hubby I have - always looking out for me and making sure that I have a good time.

I have really enjoyed each of my visits to New Orleans area over the last couple years since I have been in relationship with David. What an adventure, what a joy! More adventure awaits in Louisiana in the years ahead.
