June 4
At dinner tonight Alicia made the signature dessert from Commander’s Palace in New Orleans, and what a lot of work! First, you bake the bread… It was fab – and took me into a reverie of New Orleans.
I stayed one time for a week or so with Les Perelman when he was teaching at Tulane, and also I went to a few computer conferences there over the years. It’s time to go again!
These pictures are off the internet. The big one is of Commander’s Palace closed after Katrina, and the inset is the back patio, which was the best place to eat if it wasn’t too hot (and oh lordy does it get Hot!).
