Hello Dale,

Yeah, it was pretty wild.  And it got even wilder on Tuesday, when a
parade was held in honor of the Saints (15 floats, many Saints players
riding the floats and throwing beads and trinkets to the adoring
crowds). The Saints owner, Tom Benson and his wife, along with the
Saints coach, Sean Payton, had bit parts.  But it was more the Drew
Brees show than anything else.  Along with hundreds of thousands of
Whot Dat fans (virtually the entire city and surrounding area) having
a good old time, almost all singing and dancing to the chant, "Who dat?
Who dat?  Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?" For those who have yet
to figure out the answer to that question, the answer is - "No Dat!" or
"We Dat!", depending on POV. :)

Mardi Gras is coming up next week, and that means King Cakes.  A
traditional food in these parts.  But does anybody in this echo know
(besides me) how to make the traditional dough?  That is the question.
I'll bet the great and venerable Michael Loo doesn't know the answer
to that one.  :)
