Thar be pirates at Mardi Gras, mateys!

Just a wee snippet of Mardi Gras day on Frenchman Street; the place to be, if you ask me. You can keep Bourbon, I’ll take Frenchman.

I’ve been obsessed with roast chicken for years. It’s just one of those things that’s always good, but is sometimes crazyfantastic. This was one of those times. This is also one of those recipes that sounded so damn appealing that food bloggers went wild with it. Chicken Toast everywhere!

Like chicken? Like toast? Try Chicken toast!

The original recipe.
Chicken Toast by any other name sounds way more fancy.
Again.
And yet again.
Okay, last one for realz.

The man I’m going to marry made this for me after I sent him a photo of the giant black filing cabinet that suddenly appeared on the our unit. I tried every monolith joke in the book on my co-workers (okay, just the one above, actually) but no one “got” it.

I’m glad I’m marrying a man who completely understands me.

(and takes the time to Photoshop monkeys for my amusement.)

SO, I just got back from New Orleans and I have mountains of footage on three different cameras (long story) and between the different cameras and all my compresion/codec/whatnot settings on my OLD computer that I totally forgot to write down before I left NY to put on my new computer and iMovie ‘09 which I TOTALLY dislike and have NO idea how to use and the fact that one of the cameras is a spiffy Xacti HD100 that changes everything ENTIRELY there’s been a delay in editing and posting. The jury is still out of the HD100.

You’ll likely be enjoying Mardi Gras footage for Easter.

There are some snippets shot with my photo camera I exported with the default (read “suck”) Quicktime settings that are worth posting, though, so I’ll put those up for now.

I miss New Orleans. I want a catfish po’boy like NOW.

ps: Lee’s brother was AT the second hardware store and wanted to note that it was, in fact, a yellow dress.
