I can't remember exactly the

directions for where I go to the sister in law's in New Orleans. But I

drive right into the heart of the

city, turn right on a bridge (Huey P Long, maybe) and go to General

DeGaulle I think. It's an area that is high and got no water damage

during Katrina.

And it just happens, if you are off Gen. DeGaulle, to be only a few miles

from the area that I am in. The SCD friendly restaurant, alas, is out in

Metairie, but it's not hard to get to. Like I said, they're not perfect,

but they sincerely try to make the meal fully legal. (I wouldn't, for

instance, want to eat there every day of the week.)

piled up on her back screened in porch. I knew timing was bad for this

trip but it won't be the last trip to New Orleans. I would love to meet

at that SCD friendly restaurant another time. Which one is it?

Lots of people in our area have pitched in like that. The church I attend

installed showers in the education wing of the church building, and for

literally years now, church groups coming to help could stay there, with

cots to sleep on, and meals provided by the women of the church.

I eat at the New Orleans Hamburger and Seafood Restaurant. I usually get

a plain grilled tilapia and they'll substitute mixed steamed vegetables

for their illegal Mardi Gras Slaw. I take my own butter and seasoning.

And salad dressing -- which is " Hurricane Dressing, " of course.

Although invented before Katrina.

<g> A friend and I are threatening to start making my various

crackers for sale once I'm over this current health crisis. It does look

like there'd be a market!
