New Orleans
The view from my room of the Mississippi and some river traffic. I wish I could post my Bourbon Street video but it's too long ( 10 minutes ). A riverboat docks right at this spot and goes out for an hour at a time, full of sightseers.

Chicken Piperade
A recipe from Gordon Hammersley's book : " Bistro Cooking at Home ". Chicken, onion, garlic, tomatoes, red pepper, smoked ham, and watercress. It smells so good I almost stopped cooking and took it off the heat and started eating it. If there's any left, I will bring it to work so my faithful readers ( and you know who you are ! ) can see it.

It's kind of frightening that both the before and after photos look the same. Nonetheless, this is some good lasagna, despite my lack of Italian upbringing.

Lasagna ( I have also seen lasagne ). This photo is pre-oven; the next will be post-oven.
