Café du Monde


My first order of business on Friday morning was to visit Café du Monde at the French Market and try beignets and café au lait for the first time. Within walking distance of Chez Nous, it was the perfect setting to fulfill my sugar cravings.

I took an immediate liking to the pastry, even if the powder made my face look like a messy canvas. (It doesn't hurt that I'm also a Krispy Kreme junkie.) As for the coffee, I'm neurotic enough as it is, so the last thing I need is another drink that makes me high-strung -- even if it's sinfully addictive.
