I&#39;m kind of late getting in here&#33;  Goodness, I&#39;m still having trouble breathing, after all the food I<br />ate yesterday.  My friend, Elaine, and I tried almost everything they served at Yat&#39;s, the Cajun <br />restaurant near SFGH - gumbo, crawfish etoufee, a large oyster poboy, some kind of great corn/red<br />pepper/onion dish, softshell crab, hot links, bread pudding and red velvet cake.  Plus, since it was<br />inside Jack&#39;s Bar and I&#39;m no longer working, I washed it down with a double old fashioned - how decadent.  The food was all good but I was longing for crawfish.  The chef said he does have them<br />occasionally and I left my business card.  They promised to call next time they do a &quot;boil.&quot;<br /><br />I left there and decided to stop by Manivanh Thai to see my friends ( almost like family ) since I<br />hadn&#39;t been in awhile.  They asked if I wanted lunch ( I almost had to run to the restroom ) - I just<br />sat and chatted with the kids who were running the show while mom and dad are away for a week<br />in Barbados with the oldest daughter and her husband.  When the restaurant closed and they<br />set up the grill and tables in the center of the restaurant to fix their own lunch meal, they made me<br />stay and eat with them.  I told them I was just going to watch.  Two hours later, and stuffed to the<br />gills, I had done more than watch.  Beef, shrimp, calamari, noodles, greens....grilled with all sorts <br />of sauces...and rice, of course.  I almost had to nap in the car before I could get home.<br /><br />Yow&#33;&#33;<br /><br />I MUST get off that cleaned and cleared tread mill.<br /><br />Happy sailing, Rose....I know it must have been a bit sad turning in those keys, Falina.  <br /><br />I think I need to go and take an Alka Seltzer.<br /><br />Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
