Heavy handed mint julep
We had a busy Saturday and decided it was a great evening to sit outside and enjoy mint juleps. We had some crawfish to start--done up just right with andouille sausage, red potatoes, and corn. The seasoning was just right and absolutely delicious!
Crawfish "appetizer"
Brent had one of his standard dishes...the Crawfish Monica (left). A crawfish creamy tomato sauce atop curly pasta. And I had the special...Cajun Pasta (right). It was a creamy sauce made with white wine and lots of meat--crawfish, catfish, andouille sausage and probably more--atop angel hair pasta.
Both were so indulgent and filling. We traded dishes about half way through but we still only finished about 1/4 of the portions.
For dessert we shared some beignets. I've had beignets at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. I've had the beignets at Lucile's in Denver. NoNo's won the "Closest to New Orleans" style. So good.
