Yesterday Megan and I went to Metairie and shopped at Lakeside for kicks.
Breaking news: Sephora just opened there. Peeps, it is make-up heaven. We walked in, got samples of stuff, it’s fab. There are more brands than I could count and I discovered Kat Von D from LA Ink has a make-up line. I want my own make-up line! I so wanted to get BIG fake eyelashes made of feathers. I need those for Halloween. Laura Geller has a concealer called Caulk and the foundation primer is called Spackle. Hilarious. Sometimes I think I could use some Spackle, not kidding. About 2 weeks ago I needed some Caulk. I’m telling you, Accutane worked until pregnancy and it’s been a battle ever since. Not going on it again because I like my face to move. Anyacne, I bought primer from Smashbox, eyebrow gel from Anastasia, and OPI nail polish that’s dark red for fall. Love it. We hit Todd’s for their version of an Orange Julius — so good. Total goodness.
Went to the new Apple store, it’s great, of course. I so wish I would have bought a Macbook Pro when my old laptop died. Dillard’s has been completely renovated, looks great. Bought my Intaglio Heat pendant from Mignon Faget, love it. My MF bee pendant was in the mail when I got home. Happy Kerry.
It was pouring rain when we left Lakeside and headed accross the street to Bravo for lunch. Megan and I big fans of the Lobster & Shrimp Bisque. It has to be the best soup in the world, no lie. Here’s a pic.
It’s creamy and delicious, has olive oil on the top and is much richer in color than in the pic. Meg and I kept saying how good it was, practically after each spoonful. I declared Baby Jesus must be making in the back, it was so good. Megan nearly spit soup all over the table. Win. The mental image of Jesus in the Bravo kitchen making Lobster & Shrimp Bisque is too much, but it’s the only explanation of how the dish is so fantabulous. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the cream or lobster stock or sherry. If Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes, I’m sure he could make soup. I’m pretty sure it’s in the Bible, in the recipe section. What? Your Bible doesn’t have a recipe section? It’s between the Concordance and maps of the Holy Land. Trust me, I’m not a heathen, really. I love Jesus. And soup. And the herbed bread at Bravo with that yummy olive oil they give you. Concordance sounds like a grape dance. Is it just me?
Did I tell you I just discovered there’s 2 Monjuni’s in Baton Rouge? My favorite Shreveport restaurant is an hour away! I predict a trip to BR in the near future. And some Neapolitan Stuffed Pasta. Yum. Sorry I turned this into a food post, but I forgot to eat dinner and I’m hungry. And I’m craving frozen lemonade we used to get at the Red River Revel (go see my friend Will’s band, Gypsy Mountain there Friday) and at the Braves games. If anyone knows where I can get it, please let me know. The lemon Italian ice from the grocery store is close, but not the same.
On another note, apparently Megan can shut down businesses with her mind. We know Megan has been blamed by one poor soul for our old LSS going under, but up ’til now, I thought it was just speculation. Then it dawned on me — the grocery store next door went out of business and Rouse’s took over. She has the super power of killing retail stores. Beware of the evil Megan, Shop-Killa!
