Happy Easter!

Hey all, Happy Easter! I must say, one impressive thing about the South is how big of a deal Easter is. I mean, I got Good Friday off! It's really a shame that adults aren't allowed to participate in the gigantic easter egg hunts that the churches down here put on, I would love to come home with a basket full of colored eggs and other treats. Speaking of coming home with treats, we went to a crawfish boil and came home with a GIANT bag of crawfish tails, so I decided to whip up a little comeback sauce, Mississippi style, and fashioned us some Crawfish Po'boys. Yum.

So this party that we went to, it was a blast, but it was in the evening time and I did get some mosquito bites, and my right foot is swollen and numb. See:

Disgusting right? It actually hurts to walk. Ugh. I can't stop looking at it. 

So anyways, I'm super excited cause my lovely friend Shannon O'Connor is coming to visit me in 9 days! I'm excited to show her around the Bayou, drink some yummy daquiris, and eat some "adult ice cream". We will then be heading to sunny So. Cal. and along the way visiting the Carlsbad Caverns and Meteor Crater in Arizona. Needless to say I'm pretty pumped, although clearly not pumped enough to pack ... better get to it ... maybe after another glass of sweet tea ...
