When in Louisiana......

Louisiana isn't that far of a drive from Biloxi so it makes a very easy day trip.  Again, the weather was insanely bad but we powered through.  One of my Yodaville friends was meeting us for lunch and she had to drive over the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in that weather!  I'm glad we drove the Causeway on a nice day a few years ago! 

We met up at DiMartino's Restaurant, in Covington.  

We HAD to get muffulettas!  They are SO GOOD! I wish they sold muffuletta bread at home.  We'd eaten here the last time too.  

Quick photo shoot with our babies before she had to head home, as the weather was getting worse with every minute! 

After lunch, Russell took me to the Abita Mystery House (separate post after this one), and then to the Covington Cafe du Monde, since there was no way I was going to the one in NOLA.  I was stoked that this opened!  I FINALLY got to try their famous beignets!  

These are served fresh and piping hot and oh my god are they good.  When they are hot.  Still being full from lunch I only had about one and a half on the 90 minute drive back to Biloxi.  Once we got up to the room and I realized there was no microwave in the room, they were stone cold and hard as rocks.  Eating them fresh is definitely key with beignets.
