Snowy Spring Days

Snow two days after the start of Spring, what the heck? Actually, when I moved here last March (can't believe I've survived a year here already) there was a good amount of snow on the ground. Apparently, it has also snowed once in April every year for the last ten years... or something like that. Anyway, enjoy this pic taken in the park down the street of the little bit of snow we got Wednesday.

Wednesdays at good ol' Bourbon St. is Cajun Foodie Day which means we serve two different cajun classics each week for $5. This week's specials were interesting: sauteed beef tongue and three onion soup. I will try everything once (if we're talking food) and I can tell you I found something I won't be trying a second time. Beef tongue's texture was just like you'd expect a thick cube of barely cooked tongue to be like, gross. Our GM (who's from New Orleans) gagged it up, but I somehow chewed and got it down. It was kind of like winning my own version of Fear Factor.

Today Jen was finally able to make it to the doctor after months without her meds. It was a major stressor in her life so thanks to Aunt Mary for all her help today. She made a trip out to White Plains and was devestated to be out of the office for a day.

Tonight we had our neighbor over to catch up over dinner. We're going through an extremely busy season in our lives right now and it's easy to loose touch with people, even the ones that live right above us. Her hubby was unfortunately stuck at work and couldn't make it... I understand how that goes. We had Rachel Ray's chicken and dumpling (gnocchi) stoup (soup + stew). Delicious.
