| Babycake likes Mini-Moonpie! |
Is there a more appropriate or better place to lunch in the Gump on Fat Tuesday than Lunde's? Mardi Gras beads, moon pies, red beans and rice, Louisiana Hot Sauce and King Cake (complete with baby!). Laissez les bons temps rouler! Our favorite NOLA-transplants lunch spot with all the carnival trappings without the liquor license. Drat. Plenty of King Cake babies though and in all sizes. Some were so big they were the size of toddlers. ("You go right back up there and get me a toddler. I need a baby, Hi. They got more'n they can handle.") Here we see how one baby helps the smaller baby with the Marine haircut jump back into a moon pie. It's all about how we all can help each other get along and have fun at the same time.

What's even better is that after you eat at Lunde's you can watch them tear down that building next to the old Jeff Davis Hotel--one brick at a time. I could watch people tearing down buildings for hours. Outside Lunde's you can do it at no extra charge.

All in all a great Fat Tuesday: Got the baby out of the King Cake and saw a building get torn down. Hard to top that especially since when in between you can savor some fine red beans and rice.

| A hearty dish on Fat Tuesday. |
Now, after this big splurge what to give up for lent? Hmmmm. I've got it: Moon Pies!!
At least it's a start.

Ed. Note: Today we debut our Informational Values label mandated by the FCC (Food Communication Commission). These labels supposedly allow consumers to make smart choices about what they read. We shall see.
The % of Daily Value is based on a 100 pt. scale with 100 equaling a post that brings total consciousness and 1 equaling a simple fart noise.
Is a simple fart noise lower in Informational Value than "Tider Insider" or a Josh Moon column? Just asking.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point. The value 1 on the daily value scale should equal the informational value of a Josh Moon column. At least fart noises are funny and in some cases provide information in the form of a warning.
ReplyDeleteIn light of carp's comment I move to amend the Informational value disclaimer to state as follows:
ReplyDeleteThe % of Daily Value is based on a 100 pt. scale with 100 equaling a post that brings total consciousness, 1 equaling a simple fart noise and/or a Josh Moon "column."
For a man in the newspaper and radio business he sure has a lot of problems making coherent thoughts and then expressing said thoughts in writing or by talking. I guess this begs the question: Who does Josh Moon have dirt on that allows him to remain employed in the thought-expressing business?
I know I am new at this but I suggest a fart be considered a "1" and a Moon column a "0". I would hate to offend a fart.
ReplyDeleteThe Dali Lama himself promised me total consciousness on a golf course near Dublin instead of paying me for caddying. I guess it wore off.
