the big easy

Last week, I stepped off a plane in New Orleans and was just bowled over by the city. What a fascinating place, in its history, language and culture, and policy prescriptions! I stayed in this graceful bed and breakfast:


which was located right on Audobon Park:

Having left Ann Arbor under 8 inches of snow, I couldn't believe that spring was beginning elsewhere. After a long day of interviews, I finally got my reward: a fresh, still-warm beignet, drenched in powdered sugar! Immediately afterwards, I hit up Coop's Place for its "Supreme Jambalaya," and I can attest, the advertising was not false!
