New Orleans, LA (con't)

February 27 - March 02

Sunday morning we were up early for breakfast at Brennan's. Located on Royal street, it was built in 1795. One reason the street looks so empty is no street parking is allowed today, so another 10 dollar parking lot bill and a walk of several blocks I finally arrived and met Debbie where I had dropped her off at the restaurant.

We were seated in a small dinning room on the second floor. There were four other tables, a waiter and his assistant were dedicated to our dining room.

I had Eggs Nouvelle Orleans, poached eggs over a bed of lump crabmeats covered with a brandy-cream sauce. Debbie had Eggs Sardou, poached eggs on artichoke bottoms nestled in a bed of creamed spinach and covered with Hollandaise sauce.

For dessert I had Banana Foster which was originated by Brennans's and Deb had Crepes Fitzgerald, crepes filled with cream cheese, sour cream topped by strawberries. Both were flamed in brandy.

What! Out of focus? How does that happen to a ex-professional photographer using a state-of-art auto focus camera? Actually it takes an expert to mess up with an automatic everything camera. Unfortunately it's a quick flash and there's no time for a second shot. Oh, the dessert, it was great! The breakfast bill was also great at $125. But that included coffee.

This past Tuesday was Fat Tuesday and all over New Orleans there are necklaces hanging on trees and utility lines. Ty loves playing with his necklace.
