In late June, Dan and I went to New Orleans, Lousiana for the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT, our professional association) convention. It was held there the same year that Hurricance Katrina struck so it was interesting to see the post Katrina New Orleans.
We competed in college bowl and got 3rd out of 8 teams. After the meeting we went on a small fishing trip. We were able to stay at a camp right on the bayou. Dan caught a big one. I caught a guppy. Such is life. We tried our first raw oysters. We had a blast and want to go back.
As the VP of Membership experiences, I was in charge of the IFT student association booth. Met tons of students from around the country that are food science majors.
Had the opportunity to go to Emeril's restaurant. I loved the attention from the staff. This is a picture of us at GW Fins. We had been here last time we were in NO and had to go back again. They have the best creme brulee. Dan's having a lava cake. Yum Yum!
Dan ran in the IFTSA 5k to raise money for scholarships. It was so humid he was sweaty before even starting the race.
Us at the camp. Right on the bayou.
The big catch. It weighed about 38 lbs. Dan could hardly lifted because it was so slippery.
Here's my little catfish. How pathetic!!!
This is called 3rd degree sunburn from being out on the boat.
This is a our cajun feast. We had crawfish, shrimp, crab, gumbo, potatoes, corn, fried gator and duck, fried vegetables, raw oysters, grilled oysters. I should have put my stretchy pants on!
