ABYSSINIA

Love, love, love Abyssinia! A hidden little gem in a forgotten part of Memphis. Not Midtown, not East Memphis. Delicious platters and the ever-present injera, the bread used as a utensil. I suggest it to anyone who will listen.

Here are your exotic pics.

NEW ORLEANS

Figured I'd wrap up this New Orleans trip all in one post so I can get to some more Memphis ones. Enjoy.


Here's Parkway Bakery!

And again...

ARNAUD'S - NEW ORLEANS

Arnaud's is a New Orleans landmark. We had more drinks made with egg than I ever could have imagined existed. We had the legendary Ramos Gin Fizz(egg whites), something with absinthe & egg whites, and another with bourbon and egg yolks. All very good, and slightly unsettling. The bartender was excellent. He is the heir apparent to the title of best in NO, so he should be. Here's the business.

LATE NIGHT OUT - DOWNTOWN MEMPHIS

Okay, it happened again. Went out and drank enough beers to kill a herd of goats, and one homeless alcoholic. Where was this? It was downtown and I think maybe the Saucer. Help, anyone?

NEW ORLEANS TRIP Part I

Took the Amtrak down to New Orleans for a lil weekend. The "restroom" was anything but. Imagine trying to wield a fire hose while wearing roller skates. The space shuttle flush sytem was great too. I made many trips as the wife and I stayed in the lounge area the entire time.
