America - New Orleans / Slidell / Pearl River

This past weekend we spent some time with some awesome friends in New Orleans/Slidell/Pearl River. We stayed with our friends George & Carrie - they are awesome!
We went down to the French Quarter on Saturday morning. We haven't been there in a while - It was fun :)
The French Quarter always has fun stuff around :)
Aashini liked the view from the top the best :)
We had some yummy Muffalatas for lunch!! Yum!!
We were there during the Creole Tomato Festival, so there were some fun extra things there (like this balloon lady) :)

We got some yummy Slidell Snowballs :)

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha!

When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!!
