Where we ate this weekend:

• At home, Sonya cooked salmon and green bean salad from Jamie Oliver's cookbook.
• Pascal's Manale - the famous barbecued shrimp for Donna, a seafood roast for me and pasta and crab cakes for Sonya. With tasty little oyster appetizers and dessert, too. Groaning with fullness afterwards.
• La Peniche - The girls had breakfast, I had a club sandwich. Tasty tasty, and then we walked for a few hours. Hearty food.
• Sake Cafe - Plate after plate of sushi and sashimi. We kept saying that it would matter, sushi leaves you hungry later. We all stayed full all night.
• Cafe du Monde - Sonya and Donna had beignets. I was sloshy with beer and still full of sushi. I drank a large coffee instead and stayed awake well into the night.
• Palace Cafe - Good Lord. A brunch complete with appetizers and desserts, too, and liquor! Eggs and potatoes and seafood in every conceivable combination. As a group, we were stupid and lethargic for the rest of the day.
• At home again, and I cooked burgers and hot dogs on the grill.
