My darling daughter and I had lunch at Don's, only yesterday and this is an actual photo that she took of her Broiled Seafood Salad! "To die for", cher! I just love their stuffed shrimp and crabs , seafood gumbo, and the seafood platter is fabulous! But I ordered the Seafood Stuffed Eggplant and after one bite, I thought I was in heaven! Happy 75th Don's, we love you!
T.G.I.F.
It was a glorious cool day in Cajun Country and the T.G.I.F. block party, at Downtown Alive, was packed to the gills for an excellent and exciting performance by Sonny Landreth and his highly seasoned Southern Rock/Blues band. They were on a very high frequency and really rocked the high spirited crowd into oblivion! Sonny is an old friend of mine from the college days. That is another post entirely! It was a fantastic show and a everyone passed a good time!
After the concert the massive crowd headed over to different downtown restaurants and clubs, for a little refreshment. The Harley gang was parked in front of Stan's Downtown, as usual. There was such an excitement in the air that was so invigorating! It feels as if Fall is finally here and we are getting some nice weather.
Lots of Cajuns having fun and enjoying life! The music, the food, the dancing, everyone just having a blast! The weekend is going to be packed with fun with the 73rd Annual Rice Festival in Crowley,( go here for a complete schedule of events), and don't forget the Boudin Cook Off on Saturday, in downtown Lafayette. Hope you all have a blast over the weekend! Let the good times roll, cher! Cheers ya'll!

Looks like a terrific restaurant with great food, no wonder they've been in business all these years! I spotted those hogs and thought, The Husband would fit right in. He's a motorcycle guy.
Well Hello again!!
Great to be back Marguerite and glad you are having such a ball, albeit without your prince charming! LOL
Glad you are able to pop into church because you can have a nice rest during the sermon LOL ready for your dancing again in your little leopard skinned dancing shoes. Until we meet again . . . Eddie

HI
your blog is very nice information , very useful for me ,i bookmarked your site
Thanks
I'm feeling your mother's sentiment, cooking 6 days a week, so Sunday was a wonderful dinner-out. But I vote we change it to 5 days cooking, 2 days out :)
You sure know how to party! Delighted.
Kat- Thanks, it tasted even better than it looked! Hope you're having a good weekend, too, cher!
Janine- So glad that you're feeling better! I wish that you could be here, too! It's going to be some good dancing, today. Six bands!
Cloudia- Cest bon, cher! Aloha, Gal pal! Have a great day!
Elizabeth- Don's is one of the best! Harley clubs are very big, here. I don't ride, though, because I've seen too many friends get hurt on them.
a beautiful plate indeed. You always have so much fun at your festivals. This time tomorrow, tourist in Cajun clothing. Thanks for all the inspiration over the last few months
Congrats on the award from Dave! Looking forward to learning more about Cajun everything :)
OH, that looks delicious, love that cajun food!

lakeviewer- Bonjour and welcome to Cajun Country. The delight is all mine, cher! Merci beaucoup for visiting and for adding me to your faves!!
We used to frequent Don't in Metairtie a lot. Their chain went through a lot of ups and downs over the years, but I could really go for a seafood platter right about now!
Hi Marguerite, thanks for following my blog. Now, we'll share each other's views of the many faces of America. I wish I had that seafood around!
I have to say that that is a plate that even a Brit could eat; no sign of the cold beer though!?
A Year on the Grill- I can just see you now, dancing at Cajun Cabin or Mulate's in New Orleans. Lassiez Bon Ton Rouler, cher!!! And have a Sazerac for me! Cheers!
Cathy- Thanks so much for stopping by and telling me about the award. Welcome to Cajun Country, cher!
Shammickite- So good to see you! Nothing like Cajun cuisine. Cest bon, cher!
