Wonder What the Po Folks are Doin'

Well, I'm a week behind. We are going to Sunday Brunch today and I never told about last Sunday's commander's Palace Jazz Brunch so here goes.

After Beignets (ben-yays) at Cafe du Monde, we walked over to St. Louis Cathedreal where Mass was just about to start so we stayed for that. Music was beautiful-another big organ with timpani and trumpet. The end of every song sounded like a Cecil B. DeMille scene ending.

The cathedral in on Jackson Square, super historical area where the Louisiana Purchase was signed in the Cabildo in 1803. It's fun to check out the artists there.

 

After mass we headed for Commander's Palace Restaurant for Jazz Brunch.
I had Shrimp Remoulade followed by  pecan crusted Drum fish with poached lump crabmeat and a cream sauce with a little corn -  to die for.
 
For dessert, strawberry shortcake with strawberries from Ponchatoula which is down the road from where I grew up.
There were balloons on every table and if there was a celebration, cute paper chef hats were given.I got our waiter to give me a couple of hats (for the grandchildren).

Most Sensuous Moment: biting into beignet
Funniest Moment: when the arch-bishop called Martin Luther King, Jr, Martin Luther King, Jesus.
Everyone chuckled, even the archbishop.
Most Shocking Moment: when they brought our bill, at Commanders
