Nice day so we took a ride into Breaux Bridge. I browsed through the antique shops. Skip was getting hungry, we he was looking for a place for lunch. Jacqueline was sitting outside her restaurant. She is always happy to see "my darlings" returning. All her customers, are her "darlings". Jacqueline has owned this restaurant for the past 17 years.
Skip wanted to know if she had gumbo. But of course, so we both had the seafood gumbo. Excellent!!!
Skip was teasing her about the lobster he had had last year. She asked him he wanted lobster again - she'll order it. She told us be be here Friday night.
   Friday night at Chez Jacqueline - Skip had his lobster dinner

and I had the alligator picante. Picante is a tomato based thick sauce with spice along with white rice, another staple in Louisiana.  Another great meal. She also served us champagne and wine. Jacqueline mentioned she does Sunday breakfast with beignets on the menu!! I said I would see her Sunday, with Sunday newspapers!!
As I have said, Louisiana is all about the food and the people.
     Campground had filled up for the weekend with a group of friends who lived nearby. They love their cajun music and partying. Lots of fun. They had us over for homemade gumbo, and moonshine with root beer mixed in. Very good.

     Our son, Jonathan turned 42 on the 26th. Called and wished him a Happy Birthday. Always good to hear he and family are fine. He told us that he and Joan will be heading to Florida the end of February for vacation.
