248th New Thing - Ate Andy's Country Breakfast


Seven 30 South - An American Bar and Grill 
We went out for brunch today at 730 South Bar & Grill in the Bonnie Brae neighborhood. 730 South is a neighborhood restaurant bar and grill that offers large portions at very reasonable rates, that is locally owned and operated by Larry Herz since 1999. 5280 Magazine called attention to the "eclectic American comfort food served in a friendly neighborhood atmosphere". We've been to 730 South for brunch a couple years ago and it was very good and reasonably priced. So when I saw a Travelzoo Local Deal for 730 South I jumped on it. The deal was $19 Brunch for 2 with Endless Mimosas (valued at $40). We started with 2 mimosas, bottomless mimosas. They have award winning eggs benedict on Saturdays and Sundays so that is what I had, I believe it was a special for the day, called Andy's Country Breakfast. It was 2 poached eggs on biscuits with bacon and country gravy. It was served with potatoes and fruit. Matt ordered the South of the Border Breakfast Burrito with eggs, pico de gallo, sausage, cheese, and sour cream topped smothered with mixed cheese and pork green chili, served with potatoes, and fruit. It was a excellent brunch once again and I highly recommend it. We made reservations for noon so we didn't have to wait in line.

132nd New Thing - Played with Talking Tom Cat

I was searching through apps on my Droid Razr and came about Outfit7's Talking Tom Cat . This app is described as a cat that responds to your touch and repeats everything you say in a funny voice. I wanted to see what it was all about so I downloaded the app to my Razr to check it out. You can Talk to Tom and he will repeat everything you say with a funny voice, pet his body or head to make him purr, poke his head, belly or feet, grab his tail, pour a glass of milk for him to drink, and forget about him and he will yawn or sneeze. I find Tom only slightly enjoyable. What did you do today?

158th New Thing - Tried Sweet Potato Popchips

While we were at Albertsons doing our weekly grocery shopping, there was a lady there giving away free sample bags of Popchips so I took a sample of their Sweet Potato flavor. I had my 0.8 ox bag of Sweet Potato Popchips today with my lunch. Popchips were founded in 2007 in San Francisco as a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. They aren't fried or baked, but popped by taking potatoes and adding a heat and pressure. They have won awards such as 'Best Snack' from Shape Magazine and 'Best Chips' from Health Magazine. My 0.8 oz bag had 100 calories, 3g fat, 95mg sodium, 16g carbohydrates, and 2g sugar. They had a slightly salted and sweet flavor in the airy chip. It was a good snack with my lunch.   What did you do today?  

Eating My Way Thru NOLA - Day 3

NOLA  - October 2018 PJ's Coffee  (5432 Magazine St, New Orleans LA 70115) - Goal was The King Cake Protein Velvet Ice but apparently that was only seasonal around Mardi Gras.

Parran’s Po-Boys & Restaurant (3939 Veterans Blvd, Metairie LA 70002) - Seafood Trifecta (1/3 fried shrimp sandwich, 1/3 fried oyster sandwich, 1/3 fried catfish sandwich *best*) dressed (mayo, lettuce, tomato). Chilly's Snoballs (3940 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie LA 70006) - Sampled a few and then ordered 8oz Douberge and 8oz Wedding Cake from the drive-thru.
