The #1 Reason You'll See Me in Sweatpants...

Frank Brigtsen & Ginger

Okay, so maybe it's more like the 23 reasons you'll be seeing me in sweatpants, but here ya go:

Tuesday, the Professor and I flew into a little town called "New Orleans."  Now, we've been here before, but seeing how I nearly had to check myself into a hospital after the second day of my first trip, we've slowed our roll a bit.  But clearly not too much.

First up…cooking lessons with THE Frank Brigtsen.  What a doll of a man.  And he kinda nails it in on the six-burner.

Base of Corn & Crab Soup -- Note the Turkish Bay Leaf.

Now With the Cream.

Cookin' Da Crab.

Chef Showcasing the Perfectly Sliced Eggplant.

Making Biscuits?  Freeze the Butter and Grate it.

Presentation Side Down for the Stuffed Fish.

Strawberry Sauce Sans Seeds.

Dessert is Served--Red, White, & Blue Shortcake.

If you wanna take cooking lessons with Chef Brigtsen, just go here; New Orleans School of Cooking.  Or, better yet, just go to Brigtsen's.

Up next, no restaurant?  No problem.  That trunk of your rental car will work just fine.
