Hello everyone! Claire Donovan here. I don't like to blog much but I thought I would put up a quick post because we have a few minutes before dinner... The week has gone very well so far. We're learning a lot of things, from safety, Hurricane Katrina stories, to skills including carptentry and painting (all things we can carry on with us later in life. Everyone we've met has been very friendly and welcoming, which is nice. One of my favorite things about the trip so far is the FOOD.
:-)
I'm just gonna talk about it for a little bit. The first full day here, we went to Mother's. I had a shrimp poboy and iced tea with lots of hot sauce. It was AMAZING. We've also had red beans and rice, pasta with meatballs and redsauce, and all kinds of awesome desserts. (My favorite has been the banana pudding)
Anyway, hope you all are doing well.
Lots of love,
Claire Donovan <3 :-)

If you like pecans, be sure to get a praline! And beware of the boiled peanuts.
Jealous!
I second Julie's "jealous," Claire.
I was searching internet earlier today for a recipe for banana cake.... banana pudding, you say? hmm. There's an interesting idea...
Bon appetit!

Hello All,
I've enjoyed reading your posts each morning. Thanks for doing that. Sounds like N.O. is a very different place but fun. Also sounds like the work is going great. Grandma says to remember to drink lots of water, have fun, and safe travels home. Can't wait for your fall worship service about your adventures. Lynda Withbroe
I knew you would enjoy the food, Claire. Keep up the good work, and looking forward to your return home,
love
Mom
