Southern Comfort after 34 Years!

Last night Bubba and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary. He surprised me with a visit to the River Road Plantations. There are still numerous homes along the Mississippi River just west of New Orleans despite Katrina's wrath! They have stood for hundreds of years preserving southern historical Traditions.
We spent the night in one of the refurbished guest cabins at Oak Alley Plantation; one of the premier plantation homes on River Road.
Even better was his choice of restaurants for the evening. We ate at Nottoway Plantation!
We started w the Chrystal Buere Blanche Shrimp and Tasso. That's just a fancy way of saying that they reduced some hot sauce and put a little butter and cream in it! We then had a most amazing soup. It really should've been a dip -w a little more body we could've eaten it with some toast points! It was a Crab and Brie Soup that I'm going to try to duplicate as soon as I get home!! Unbelievable!! Sista you would LOVE this!! My next favorite dish was the Fried Green Tomatoes w a Remoulade Sauce. The Remoulade had lots of horseradish and chunks of jumbo lump crabmeat! We also had the stuffed Crawfish balls with Fennel and Fontina cheese. Yum! It was a memorable evening!!
