Besides taxi and shuttles, Does anybody know how much of a hassle it is to take public transport from the Airport to the French Quarter Area? Never been there.
I'm retired so not in a hurry, just looking to save a buck or two http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...IR#>/smile.gif
I took the bus and it was fine.
It takes about an hour and does not go into the quarter so you need to get a trolly once downtown or walk about 10-15 minutes.
As Vulindlela said, there's a bus. It's (Jefferson Transit (JeT) not RTA. You can catch it on the upper level outside door 7 ( near Delta) in the median. Be careful when you check the schedule, it changes on the week-end. E-2 airport bus info Jefferson Transit Have a great time. Word ot the wise- don't wear black to Cafe du Monde...trust me. http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...#>/biggrin.gif
HAR HAR Mig--wearing black at Cafe Du Monde--wudda been like askin Johnny Cash to NOT snort anything before goin' onstage
You hsould see me after I've made 2-300 marshmallows.
Kewl, going 1'st week in Dec. , Will give it a try. We plan to arrive during the week and leave on Monday again. Will take the cab back to MSY for the last UA FLt if really savoring a good time & time is getting tight. http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...DIR#>/wink.gif . Not sure what you mean by not wearing black to Cafe da mond? I'll try to remember though.
Thanks guys !
Oh Cloudberry, you've got to go to Cafe du Monde for beignets and chicory coffee. BTW, the beignets come three to an order, so don't over order. http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...DIR#>/wink.gif

The mind also asks why you would make marshmallows?!
EDIT: Which mig already said.... geez i'm as bad at this as top posting emails
Giant Marshmallows, BTW--for Christmas Gifts!
I also dip 400+caramels.
Giant marshmallows? M767 you must use some real-ly big mugs for your hot chocolate. http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...IR#>/laugh.gif
and Nick, giant marshmallows - who you gonna call?
M767 thanks for getting my morning off with a smile.
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!
Oh man!
I just passed through CVG last weekend.
Vulindlela, that was you?

And M767 I'll take the cocoa ones. http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...#>/biggrin.gif
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. http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...DIR#>/wink.gif
"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. http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...DIR#>/wink.gif
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

Oh, you got me!
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'll take it with that Hickory Cafe Du Monde. Or COFFEE OF THE WORLD. CAFE DEL MUNDO in Spanish. I'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.
