Being a GH finalist was particularly fun because the awards ceremony was in a romantic old theater.<br /><br />AND I got to have beignets at Cafe du Monde. <br /><br />I learned something really important though. No one else wanted to go out early for coffee in the heat so I went and got the beignets and brought them back. But I was so hot and sweaty from the 150% humidity that I took a shower before eating. NOT a good idea. Beignets taste wonderful when they're hot and crispy. Not so much when cold and soggy. :(<br /><br />I may have to order some just to get them right. Hmmm, of course that will have me wanting to write a book set in New Orleans.Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-44010467222153661862013-02-16T15:45:02.311-05:002013-02-16T15:45:02.311-05:00Don't you love it, Kavalicious???????

Of course not! :) There was no danger, promise, of course I did not walk away from stove... :) Kav, you know what we're going to do? We have a "frying table" in our garage and we're going to set up an electric frying pan to do these outside. I use the big fryers out there and it keeps the smell out of the house, but these really didn't have any smell... But the electric frying pan in almost three inches deep so one inch of oil won't burble over. First, the job..... #1 PRIORITY. :) Then we'll figure out getting you over "Fear of Frying". :)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-44273151205384338412013-02-16T15:40:51.722-05:002013-02-16T15:40:51.722-05:00Oh, yeah.
