Yesterday we drove to the art museum in Mobile and toured their exhibit of Mardi Gras memorabilia and attire. You may recall that Mobile is the home of the first celebration of Mardi Gras, even though New Orleans gets the press. Worth the trip.
We returned to OBA in time for an early dinner. One of our favorite restaurants has a series of regional menus during the winter, which is their slow time. (One of the chefs told us that during the summer they serve in an hour as many as the serve all day during the winter.) The current menu is Pan Pacific, with Spam as one of the choices. It reminded me of the Spam sushi we had in Hawaii. I like Spam once every few years, but I passed in favorite of the Steel Head Trout. Good choice.
When we returned to the condo, the rant-a-cop told us the elevators were on the blitz. The temp was already in the 40s (it dropped to the low 20s last night, with STRONG winds), and there was no way I was going to try to walk 5 flights. So we went to another restaurant for a leisurely dessert We got a call around 8 informing us that the elevators were operational.
Off to our first cooking class of the year today. Wild mushroom and arugula tart.
