DON RULES

I took Don to dinner to celebrate his promotion to Dean of the College of Business and Technology.

For some reason the flash wouldn't work on my telephone. I think it was fooled by the Saints' game on the television (bright rectangle).

We had a surprisingly wonderful time at Asian Cajun on Oak St where we were entertained by with his small piano. He rolled it from table to table playing requests. Then the chef, Honorable Chan, came out and played Moon River. He played really well - maybe better than Phillip. Sorry, Phil. We laughed and sang along. There are some bonuses to being older, and singing in public without giving a damn is one of them.

I had a delicious coconut, curried grouper, and for dessert, yam ice cream - yum! The dessert was waaayyy too much - 3 scoops of ice cream and instead of a little cookie, a basket made of cookie. I did manage to eat it all. Don had his grouper grilled and ordered bread pudding for dessert. He said it was very good.

The service was wonderful. A miracle in post-Katrina NOLA.

My only complaint is that the place is too noisy, and I don't mean the piano and singing. There must be some way to lower the decibel level. ?
