Hi Billie and finest sistahs...Have to get back to work BUT...

Lori...two great movies that really give you a feel of New Orleans....The Big Easy and The Pelican Brief (if you can get past the fact that Julia Roberts is in the latter). Mr. D. and I watch The Big Easy at least a couple times a year when we're missing New Orleans. I think we just might be doing that tonight after I cook up a batch of gumbo!

Back later!

Good morning, all! Louisiana! Yes! Another neighbor of ours, and one I have fond memories of as well. We have some very good friends there in southwest Louisiana - "Cajun" country. (Have traveled to Monterey, Mexico, and Vegas with them, and one of our visits to see them was spent in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.)

Marti introduced us to gumbo, etouffe, shrimp sauce piquant! I've never liked shrimp, but when she cooked it, it was delicious.

Thanks for this great cyber tour of Louisiana, Lori. Your state profiles are always such a visual treat. :)

I have seen The Pelican Brief......or maybe I just read it, I can't remember now. I've enjoyed all of John Grisham's novels and movies. Looking forward to reading/seeing The Runaway Jury too. I have read mixed reviews.

Anyway, I haven't seen The Big Easy, so I will put it on our list of movies to rent for the next trip to Blockbuster. :-)
