Cochon Delai Po-boy.... Which is a pork po-boy that is super awesome. All of our pictures seem to have to do with eating in NEw Orleans, but the food is so good!!!!

November in N'awlins

We may not be vegan, but this is one of our favorite recipes, Vegan Enchiladas!

Lindsey had a Tulane Graduate School party the other night, so we had the chance to get all dressed up and go out for the night.


Here's Lindsey and all her social work buddies!

Here's the two of us! It was a fun night of dancing.


What you don't see in these pictures is my stellar move I made at the beginning of the night. I was wearing heels (which the binzer does about once a year) and I was trying to fix the heel of my shoe. My ring somehow got caught in the spike of the shoe and I was thrown completely off balance and landed face first on the carpet. It was kinda a long fall and I have carpet burns on both knees to prove it. IT was hilarious in the sense that I was not drinking and just being a clutzy Aysta (which Shelley can attest to) . This only a few days after I attended a conference inBaton Rouge and spilled an entire cup of sweet tea on the white tablecloth at my table. I spent about 10 minutes cleaning it up ...ahhhh jeez.

Happy Fall!

It finally dipped down into the 70's this past week with nice clear skies and a crisp breeze. It was Lindsey's first trip out of the house for awhile so we took the time to go over to the Lake near my school. The fall semester is starting to wind down as well. Lindsey will be graduating in a few weeks and then we'll be driving up to Minnesota for Christmas, with stops in Chicago to visit Peace Corps friends, and then it's off to Nicaragua for a vacation before I settle in to finish my last semester. We are also so excited for our niece who's on the way!

Happy Fall!
