This was a last minute attempt to show that we had crawfish or shrimp in our food. We had eaten two other meals with the proper ingredients, but hadn't taken a picture of it. And then as we were having the keynote speaker luncheon, I found a crawfish hidden under my chicken! Yes, we were very dedicated to playing the game. LOL The strange green thing is brocollini.(spelling?)
Impressive shadow of statue on the cathedral. Behind us, the cathedral was haunted, and in front of the part of the cathedral that is pictured, two girls were drained of their blood and left on the front steps. They had tried to get into the upper windows of the building behind us where ghosts are purported to exist, but were thrown out and told they'd be arrested. Then they had video equipment they were going to use to identify the ghosts in the upper floors, but their equipment was smashed and they were murdered, but no indication how they could have been drained of all their blood.
A wedding party was coming out of the cathedral as we waited to gather our forces for the ghost/vampire tour, and the churches bells were sounding, making the whole scene rather spooky, not wedding like in the least. :)
Can't remember what this was called...duckelini? Anyway, it's chicken stuffed in duck, stuffed in turkey wrapped in bacon. I might have my "stuffings" out of order. I didn't get any because didn't know they had it off in a corner. By that time I had already eaten so couldn't eat anything more than dessert!
I wonder what our readings might have been....
But you see, the real McCoy is in Deadly Fortunes!!!
Still at my daughter's place in Houston. We'll have lunch and then I'll be driving home. :)
Have a super great Monday! Mine's terrific! We watched Once Bitten last night, compliments of Bonnie Gill. Thanks, Bonnie!

Great pictures, Terry. It's Turducken, something I'd never heard of until I moved to Baton Rouge 7 years ago.
Well, that was very funny and spooky and memorable. Good pics. Emerile Lagasse always made that Roasted Turducken. Take it easy going home.
Thanks, Nancy! Turducken, that's it! :)We had so much fun!
Thanks, Donna! We went to a Chinese restaurant, I signed my books at the B&N at Holcomb in Houston, and we went to the Japanese gardens! I'll share pictures as soon as my camera charges up! :)
Thanks for posting these. I'm doing the Vampire tour in August when i go to AAD CON. can't wait! and yeah, the Turducken, popular in Canada as well. looks like you had fun!
What's the AAD Con? You'll have a great time on the tour! I just wished I had had my camera to take even more pictures. :) But it really was a great tour! I'd never heard of turducken. I didn't know they had it in Canada too!
Since you asked about "Once Bitten" in our group loop, I had to watch the movie. My daughter owns it (no surprise there). So 80s cheesy and so fun. I liked it!
It was great meeting you at the conference. See, you didn't need my husband's help after all to win the prize!!
Ah, Stacy, but it would have been so much fun! And then he could have worn a mask and no one would have known who he really was on my blog! Thanks so much for coming to my workshop! It was fun and look forward to seeing you again in the future! :)
Wonderful photo's, Terry.
And Nancy is right, Turducken.
This is what we have instead of turkey every thanksgiving.
Wow, Dawn! I can't imagine not having a regular turkey for Thanksgiving! Though this past year I had ham! Thanks!
