A sign that God loves us

I have just been informed by a dissolute confederate of mine that the Zydeco Breakfast at the Cafe des Amis in Breaux Bridge is the thing to do on Saturday morning. Having just looked at the menu of the Cafe des Amis, I am inclined … well, to agree, certainly, but also to spontaneously combust with anticipation. I mean, look:

Orielle de Cochon   $9

Boudin stuffed, thinly fried dough, shaped liked pigs’ ears with powdered sugar

People. People. Gather yourselves and understand what we’re talking about here. A beignet stuffed with boudin!

A. Beignet. Stuffed. With. Boudin.

This is without question a sign that God loves us. Jane and Michael Stern, the orielle de cochon is calling you.
