    If you pass thru CVG, I'll meet you at the departures level with a bag of GMs--do you prefer cocoa ones or Creamsicle or Homemade (Bourbon) Vanilla?
    PS--don't fly if you eat those--can't vouch for the alcohol evaporation.
    Oh, yeah--they never make it to the mugs--just in your face!

    A little lagniappe (something extra)

    You know you're from New Orleans when...
    • The four seasons in your year are: crawfish, shrimp, crab and King Cake.

      you assume everyone has mosquito swarms in their backyard

      Your sunglasses fog up when you step outside.

      You take Community coffee and Hot Sauce with you on vacation.

      your last name isn't pronounced the way it's spelled.

      "up north", refers to places like Shreveport or Little Rock, where it gets really really cold.

      you didn't realize until high school what a county is.

      you judge a po-boy by the number of napkins used.

      you know what "dressed" means

      you know the best doughnuts are square and have no holes.

      when someone says magazine you think street instead of periodical.

      you don't worry when you see ships riding higher than the top of your house.

      every so often you have waterfront property.

      you like you rice and your politics dirty.

      you don't bat an eye when someone says, "make groceries, or "grind meat".

      while watching a movie filmed in New Orleans you
      say things like "there's no way you can run out of a cemetery onto Bourbon street"

      your directions use terms like "uptown", "downtown", "backatown" and "across the river".

      you always ask for a little lagniappe.

      you don't keep newspaper for recycling, but for tablecloths at crawfish boils.

      you think purple, gold and green look really good together.

      out of state you ask for directions to the nearest drive-through daiquiri shop

      and finally you know you're from New Orleans when you can pronouce Tchoupitoulas, Melpomene, Thibideaux and Dirgenois

    Those benguits are nothing more than fried dough. Then sprinkled with powdered sugar. I have seen this type of stuff before. The Chinese do it, the Panamanians do it, its called OJALDA. And finally, in the INN OF THE MOUNTAIN OF GODS in New Mexico, Ruidoso, they make an APACHE BREAD which is the same stuff, only no powdered sugar. But BENGUITS, OK. I&#39;ll take it with that Hickory Cafe Du Monde. Or COFFEE OF THE WORLD. CAFE DEL MUNDO in Spanish. I&#39;ll take it in any language, with creme and NO SUGAR.

    Panamanian Fried Bread
    Ojalda
    Contributed by Steve Tanner



    Ingredients:

    1¾ cups Flour
    2 tsp Baking Powder
    1 tsp Salt
    2 tbs Lard or Shortening
    ½ - ¾ cups Water as necessary
    Oil for deep fat frying



    In a heavy saucepan or Dutch oven start heating the cooking oil to 375°F.

    Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Cut the lard into the flour with a pastry cutter or forks. Slowly add water until a firm adhesive dough is formed. Knead the dough briefly, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes.

    Pinch the dough off in golf ball sized pieces and form irregularly shaped patties about

    ¼" thick between the hands.

    Fry the patties in the hot oil about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

    Serve hot sprinkled with cinnamon sugar or with honey or syrup.
