You probably have been wondering where your sexy saucy girls have been. We’re sorry but we had a little thing called our last spring break ever. So obviously we milked it for all it was worth by going to two places- Miami and New Orleans. Miami provided us with a change of pace from our usual hectic schedules. We relaxed on Christina’s uncle’s boat, caught up on some sleep, and tried to alter the paleness that plagues New Yorkers every winter. Our eating experience was less than stellar (our diet consisted mainly of goldfish and bananas—sorry Charlotte!) but New Orleans was able to revive our taste buds.
Our first meal in the Big Easy satisfied our longing for poached eggs (woo!), which we found at a cute café called Stanley. Our host, Amanda’s mommy (facebook her here!) graciously set us up with a variety of service activities and entertainment. Thursday night we volunteered to cook and serve dinner at a shelter. We dished out some dirty rice, breaded chicken, and corn on the cob to a hundred hungry mouths. Afterward we satisfied our culinary curiosity regarding Creole cooking with crab cakes at dinner that night (how’s that for alliteration?!) After crepes on Friday night, we walked through the French Quarter and indulged in a New Orleans delight: beingets. For those who are unaware, beignet is the French word for doughnut. At the famous Cafe Le Monde, we split plates of beignets topped with moutains of powdered sugar and sipped on cafe au laits.
We spent Saturday morning working for Habitat and rewarded ourselves with a well-deserved lunch at a corner café called Cake. We sat at a sidewalk table and enjoyed roasted vegetables, biscuits with goat cheese, and shared a carrot cake cupcake. A few hours later after exploring the famous Lafayette Cemetery and the rest of the Garden District, we scouted out one of Christina’s sister’s restaurant recommendations le Petite Grocery. Our gastronomic delight continued with New Orleans style cocktails complemented by delicious oysters. Sunday, we returned to Stanley for another yummy breakfast . Stina splurged with Bananas Foster French Toast, while Amanda continued Saucy’s love fest with poached eggs.
Despite the fun times over break, we were eager to return back to cuddlegan, and in true saucy fashion made a quick stop en route from the airport for the P&W sandwiches we longed for all break. We have ambitious plans to honor our New Orleans escapades with biscuits, ratatouille and maybe even crab cakes.
