I don’t think this has ever happened to me before. After yesterday’s spectacular Tour de Cajun Food — see here for details (it involves a boudin-stuffed beignet, boudin, a crawfish etoufee omelet, Abita TurboDog beer at 9 in the morning, and large quantities of smoked, highly seasoned meat )– I’ve been hung over all day. Seriously, I have consumed more meat and pork fat in the last 24 hours than I’ve done in years, and I’m paying for it today. Clearly, all these years of being away from Louisiana has left me badly out of shape for things like this.

And still, I can’t wait to go back to Breaux Bridge. This is going to be a problem.

Did I mention that the elliptical trainer gets delivered tomorrow? And not a moment too soon.
