French Quarter Fest

A couple weekends ago was the French Quarter Fest. It's a fabulous festival (and one of the top money makers for the city). There's no entrance fee, and there is an extraordinary amount of absolutely amazing food. And thank goodness this time I ordered some very good food: Cochon de Lait Po'boy, Shrimp and Alligator Sausage Cheesecake, some very tasty spring rolls, Barbecue Shrimp with Roasted Garlic Bread Pudding, Blackened Crawfish Cakes with Crawfish Cream Sauce and of course for dessert, Strawberry Creole Cream Cheese Bavarian, Chocolate Marshmallow Smores, and Buttermilk Drops. I ate all of this by myself!! Just kidding, Mom, Aunt Janet, Erin, Trey and I + some of their friends, shared all of these treats.  


Erin and I French Quarter Fest-ing.
We walked around quite a bit, but did have a seat by the river for a little while, the breeze off the Mississippi was nice and cool. While we sat we listened to Ovi-G and the Froggies.
