Tried one other proto-nola thing tonight, and, well, one out of two ain't bad?
Tried one other proto-nola thing tonight, and, well, one out of two ain't bad? They had gumbo (that's what they called it), by which I mean a stew-like dish involving rice and okra. It wasn't like any gumbo I've ever had, but there are many kinds, and they did cook the okra properly (i.e. it was not mucilaginous). I mean, whatever it was wasn't bad, it just wasn't gumbo.
They also had someone who was supposed to be playing ragtime, new orleans, 20's/30's, boogie-woogie, etc. piano. It was a nice upright that was obviously being taken care of, and the pianist was enthusiastic. It was so bad. So. Bad. I came home and put on my CDs from Preservation Hall. Purchased at Preservation Hall, I might add. It was necessary.
Hey, you know, they tried. And I supported a small local business. And I have several paczki bought today for eating tomorrow. It's all good.

Protonola sounds like, I dunno, raw oats and a handful of dried fruit. The granola before it is gra.
