Mouth watering




Have you ever had a beinet?

OH, if you haven't they are so yum

The only place that I have had one was in the French Quarter, New Orleans. If you have ever visited New Orleans you will know it is a great place of different foods. Crawfish Etouffee is out of this world the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also if you go to the French Quarter you HAVE TO TRY the Muffaletta. With all of the destruction caused in that region I don't recommend going now for dinner but I say that if you happen to be going passed there, that you stop for some GOOD EATS.

Grandma's House

Have you ever been stung by a bee?
I happened to remember my first time being ever stung by a bee. When I was struck by the bumble bee I was the age of 9 years visiting my grandma on her farm land in the deep country. I always loved going to Grandmas house because she had so many places to discover and I loved to be the explorer going in the chicken coop or poking around the barn in interesting places. The smell of the hay brings me into euphoria and I can’t forget the smell of the chickens. Being of the curious nature, I elude away from the house. So a bee stinging me that day I must have been up to no good or was about to be up to trouble. As I recall, I was very curious that day I remember sitting in my uncle’s truck with the windows down waiting for a ride when all of a sudden ÖUCH” that hurt, No it was more like OOOOOOOOOOUUUUUCCCCH!!!!! TTTHHAAATT HHUUUUUUURRRT!!!!!!..... If I would have known it what it felt like (the bees sting)…. I would think I had got stung by a bee before but I hadn’t. Boy, did I swell after that and not only was my brother there; he made sure the tail of this bee was not stuck in my arm. Being younger than me he some how knew what to do? By the way after that I was on the look out for incoming enemies of bumble bees because after it happens once you know the experience and try to avoid it next time. Gees I think I even shed a tear but I was only nine and that bee sting hurt. My writing was inspired by the book “Out of Control” by Kevin Kelly
