Day 178 of 365, Tuesday. It is an absolutely beautiful day here in NC. We barely made it to 80, and it feels less humid. Donald and I decided to have dinner outdoors tonight. It was glorious.

Day 64 of 365. After being in Raleigh since Tuesday, it is good to be home in Concord. Donald stayed in Raleigh one more night, so I took a night off cooking.

Day 59 of 365. It's Mardi Gras! I have only been to New Orleans twice, but both trips certainly made an impression on me. The first time I went, sometime in the early 90s, I discovered the deliciousness that is etoufee. I remember my first bite, and how I almost melted it was so good. Back in Concord, I discovered this mix at Food Lion and gave it a try. It is *almost* as good as what I had in NOLA. Sadly, they don't sell it anymore so I buy it directly from the Louisiana Fish Fy company. I still want to make my own from scratch, but this is good on a night when you've worked all day and want it quick.
