How I Managed to Eat 5 times in 3 Hours. Or Life in the South.

So I think my journey through Mississippi (and a brief trip to Mandeville) via my stomach is finally catching up with me. Last night we had crawfish (YAH!) at a place called the Dock in Biloxi. This morning we woke up, went for a run that burned off the first .25 pounds of my meal from last night, and headed for a quick visit to the Northshore. Sally and I grabbed a salad from Coffee Rani, then managed to squeeze in PJs, Fat Tuesdays, and Walmart and Target (some things never change) in less than 2 hours. Oh and how could I forget Papa Sam's, my favorite snowball stand EN EL MUNDO!!. We also got to swing by the old house in Mandeville which looks exactly the same, although that was about all in Mandeville that did. We then took a drive past SSA and the lake front. It was definitely a whirlwind day. When I met back up with the fam, did the fact that I had consumed 4 different things stop us from going to Morton's for fried oysters, shrimp, catfish and of course, more crawfish? HELL NO. Afterwards we grabbed yet another daiquiri for the road and now I sit in the hotel room feeling more-than-slightly ill and looking forward to a week of Slim Fasts. Mom laughs at me, with a look that says, "You have another 18 hours before the plane takes off, we've got a good 3 more meals left!"


Salad Rani. Lettuce and 8 pounds of cheese. YUM.


So my ever-so-brief high school boyfriend wasn't behind the counter serving like he was circa 1996, but PJ's is still delicious!


Who doesn't follow up ice mochas with White Russians? Besides those who are avoiding a future of diabetes of course...


Half cupcake, half wedding cake, A WHOLE POUND OF SUGAR.


Once my sugar shelf was filled to capacity, we moved on to the fried shelf. It was empty, thank goodness, but not for long!


Me and my beloved mudbug!!

Lin and I were wondering how we ever managed to live in Louisiana for some 18 odd years without weighing 400 pounds. My mom chimed in, "Um you didn't try to eat every single thing Louisiana has to offer during a 3 day weekend." Oh, yeah.
