Give the People What They Want

For all the long-time followers of Dixie Lust,

Trust me - I'm just as shocked as you are right now.

Shock & Awe

Yes - after 10 or so months - I am finally blogging again.

This past Saturday, I broke myself away from newest committed relationship - Netflix and Napping - to hit up the Cajun Heartland State Fair with MTher, Sking, and our newest addition, LMac.

Before we made our way to the fair, we stopped by La Fonda's for dinner and their legendary margaritas.

Some of the best frozen margaritas I've ever had.

While at dinner, SKing mentioned she showed little ole Dixie Lust to LMac earlier in the day and that launched everyone into a "Bring Back Dixie Lust" campaign.

What can I say, I'm a people pleaser. I have heard their cries for more Gulf-Coast-goodness, so here it is folks.

I'm back.

This week as I get the blog back in shape, I'll be bringing you bits and pieces from old adventures. I've got quite a lot of back logged photos and videos that I'd love to share with everyone.

Meanwhile, on to Saturday night's Instagrams

(PS. Yummiest Mexican Food! Definitely in our Top 5. If you're ever in the Breaux Bridge Area, it's a must!)

Regulars...

When Lyla & I were 17 or so, we used to frequent the local Bennigan's...and by frequent I mean we ate there once or twice every weekend. We'd joke that we were VIPs. All the waiters recognized us and knew our usual orders. I'm starting to think that we've reached that point again with a little Mexican restaurant in Lafayette called Blue Agave. While I stick to my usual (Tortilla Soup, Crunchy Tacos, & Flour Chips w/ Queso), Lyla likes to change it up. But trust us....you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Everything is absolutely delicious. Here are few shots from lunch...
