1. I went to that once, way back when.

The Neville Brothers played.

This was long enough ago that there was no such thing as a "blooming onion"! :(

2. The Mrs and I are meandering

that way tomorrow. Its her choice of restaurants this trip but we will probably pig out at the Tomato Fest. My creole crop has been very good so far this year. Gonna have a second planting in a couple of weeks.

3. Sounds yummy!

What's "Grilled Creole?"

:)

7. Not quite sure but I suspect

lightly grilled sliced tomatoes engulfing shrimp. The presentation of some of these dishes is quite appealing. And to think I was going to take my wife to the quarter to a nice restaurant tomorrow. Most likely not necessary now. We'll just pig out on Farmer's Market chow.

4. Stay away from the tomatoes.

5. Creole tomatoes couldn't possibly be responsible for the outbreak.

They simply don't get wide enough distribution. They are found primarily in southern La. and Miss. and certainly aren't shipped to, what, 23 states now?

6. I was only joking.

:D
