Recently Kate and I went to New Orleans for a girls weekend with Spook who s working on a film with Will Ferrell and Zack Galafinakis but as they work during the week and we were there on a Saturday/ Sunday we saw no stars but had a great time none the less. It was warm enough that we could have lunch al fresco and sit a charing garden and never shivver. That's something in January. But since the weather all across the country is not the norm, maybe that will become the new norm. Now that we are back in New York there is plenty of time to shiver and worry about snow which we had this weekend in small does. But it's nice to hunk back on New Orleans where we went to Preservation Hall to hear Dixie Land Jazz, had Sunday lunch at the iconic restaurant Galatoies with its generations of N'orleans natives who have been tucking into etouffes, gumbos and shrimp remoulades for generations, toured the Frances Parkinson Keys house, she of the 50+ novels and bought Mardi Gras masks. I promptly lost mine. But I also bought pralines which I did not lose...I liked New Orleans much better this visit where we had a great room with windows on the Mississippi with a perfect view of the heavy boat traffic.
