Beignets

Anticipating a lovely second breakfast (when you get up at 5:45, you tend to eat two meals before lunch), the boys and I got out all the makings for our beloved cherry-cardamom scones and donned our aprons. As I was tying Jack's, he noticed it said Cafe du Monde, Coffee and Beignets, and said "Oh, this makes me want some beignets." So, we made those instead. The first batch was gone in an instant, so we fried up another; those disappeared almost as quickly. Delicious!! And a lovely taste of home.
