Yesterday was another day off, so the family enjoyed a leisurely time by the poolside. Yes, tan is coming along just fine, a little itchy at the tan lines. Afterwards we had a scenic tour of the neighborhood. There are still many properties for sale with only foundations remaining after the Katrina hurricane (Which reminds me, hurricane alert at the hospital is CODE HURCON).
Afterwards we went to have sno-balls at a local stand. I picked tutti-frutti and tasted strawberry cheesecake. Delicious! Must try again. Other odd flavors I'll have to investigate are: tiger's blood, seabreeze, shrek, pickles (I'm not sure about this one), hurricane, hanna montana (really?!), or dora the explorer (realy????!).
In the afternoon we ate crab and crawfish. It's prepared in a spicy broth so don't touch your eyes afterwards!!! Apparently there is a trick to eating crawfish: grab the tail and push it "like an accordion" under the thorax part of the shell, then pull away and voila! it comes off easily! (Thanks to Orlando for the accordion tip!)
I hope we have more crawfish soon so that I get really proficient at my new skill ;)
