Turducken Anyone?

Mom and Dad came down at the end of November for mom's birthday and Thanksgiving.

We decided to change things up this Thanksgiving ... instead of our traditional turkey, we made a Cajun Turducken.

The most I can say for it is that it was okay... definitely not spectacular ... and I missed the traditional turkey and stuffing -- mmm--- especially mom's stuffing. The bird(s) were heavily seasoned, as expected with a Cajun turducken. But it seemed that there was an abnormally large amount of season salt present... which I hate.

So much for trying new things. I guess there is a reason that there are traditions , and they aren't meant to be messed with.

While mom and dad were here, we also did some "New Orleans" things!

We had breakfast at Russell's Marina Grill --- sweet potato pancakes--- yum!

We took a street car ride from the french quarter, uptown,

stopped at the Column's for drinks,

and then took the streetcar back again.
