Ben and I spent Christmas Eve through New Year's Eve visiting my family in New Orleans. It was a good trip, with lots of good food and fellowship. Some of the highlights included going to the French Quarter to Cafe Du Monde, eating mufaletta's from Central Grocery, and eating gelato and spumoni from A. Bricota's. Ben also learned how to make this Sicilian focaccia that my grandfather used to make every Christmas. Before he died, he taught my uncles how to make it, so now the recipe has been passed on to the next generation. We all agreed that Ben's first loaf was
molto bene! Enjoy viewing some of pics from the week. I will admit that a disproportionate amount will be of my aunt and uncle's rabbit!
These are the Christmas presents we gave to our family. They are wine bottles in canvas bags with homemade wine holders (courtesy of the Ben Evans woodworking shop).

In the French Quarter the day after Christmas.
This is Babs, the 6-year old rabbit that belongs to my aunt and uncle. She lives in the backyard and can often be found basking in the sun or munching on grass and plants. Babs is somewhat of a super-rabbit because she survived Hurricane Katrina and was without water for 10 days. But she is doing well now and she is plump as ever!
