Everybody's doin' it

I moved to New Orleans two days ago (last Saturday). Coming from the culinary horror of Elkins, WV makes the food here even more amazing than you would imagine. For instance, right now Benji and I are eating Cocoa Puffs, which is a food that was available in Elkins, but which tastes better here.

Seriously, I have been absolutely stuffed since the moment I got here. The highlight was a catfish po boy, but I would put an exceptionally good shrimp egg roll up there too.

Something I'm excited to experience more of is the intersection of Vietnamese and Cajun foods, which is common around here, I think because of their shared French heritage. Anyway, what I predict will happen is that I will become obese from eating only po boys and bahn mi.

Also, congratulations on the engagement, Chapin! Hope you don't mind that I will be the obese bridesmaid.
