Louisiana Week Peters Out

Goodbye Louisiana Week! I know it's only been two days. I enjoyed you while you lasted. We ended up eating leftovers on Wednesday: gumbo, shrimp and grits or the leftovers that Derrick's mom sent home from Christmas dinner. Then, last night we went to our favorite Mexican place in town, El Jarrito, and got take out. This will be our one "gimme" for the week. I feel a little guilty for going out to eat, but as long as we do it only once a week, and we're frugal when we do so, we are at least staying on budget. Must mention one pet peeve: why must my boys order burgers from a Mexican restaurant? Completely culturally inappropriate, but least they're certain of their preferences.
