re: Arse's Fatty Rewind™ (Prepping for Mardi Gras)

The Bulldog was crowded as usual. I grabbed a few Beams.


I became hungry and began looking at my options in walking distance. It's sucks that that block and so many good bars, but the food is so disappointing. We went next door to Arana Taqueria. I ordered some guacamole, queso fundido, and a taco plate with veggies and cebollitas. I will say that the food was substance. I was not impressed, but it was cheap.





The guac and queso were good. I was not crazy about my plate. The cebollitas and veggies did not have much flavor. I went with tinga and lengua tacos. I have had much better from food trucks. I doubt I will return.


After dinner, I went home and passed out.


On Sunday, I awoke to head to mass. It was the last day of the Winter Novena, and I was being sworn in for my third term as the treasurer of the Knights of Peter Claver.

After mass, I ran home to grab some chili to bring to my bartender for his birthday. I also stopped at Johnny's to grab a couple shrimp poor boys.




I thought the poor boy was pretty good, but I'd give the nod to Verti for may favorite in the Quarter.

After several rounds and a couple of hours of music, I walked to Petite Amelie to grab some chicken salad for lunch during the week. I saw several doberge king cakes, so I grabbed one for the bar. It was the cream cheese flavor.





I would rate this cake a 10.

From there, we returned home to relax and eat some chili. I made a buffet of toppings including fritos, green onion, sour cream, cheese, cilantro, jalapenos, etc....

I love chili and it hit the spot. I apologize for not taking a spoon pic.




After dining, I passed out.

On my way to work, I stopped to grab some gas. I was feeling a little hungry so I grabbed this pickled sausage.





The vinegar and chicken flavors hit the spot. I'm ready to take on the haters this Monday.

Stay fat, my friends.
