Morning all!!! Got in trouble with the wife last night. Brought a hairy blenny home, 50 or so red legged hermits and 5 unknown hermits. The 5 unknowns are massive lol. Gonna look them up today. Also got some more snails, but those are ok and not in trouble for them.

;Hilarious

Beignets??? Love those bloody things. Hard to get in Northern Cali sadly...but I do pick them up when I visit Disneyland on Main Street.

You can make the real deal at home. We can buy this in stores here, but you can also order the mix directly from them online. Makes it easy.

So the big boys are thin striped hermits. Florida wildlife has an awesome guide and that was easy lol. Little more digging and they are algae eaters but about to big for a reef tank, as they are bull dozers, but great for aggressive tanks. They use the really thick shells for homes. Guess I may finally be able to have hermits in the puffer tank.

Cafe Du Monde is on my bucket list, well New Orleans is

Don't go anywhere near there anytime soon. One of the epicenters of COVID-19, they believe due to masses assembled for Mardi Gras at the end of February.

Just eat a few more salads to compensate for an occasional indulgence.

I have 42.00 in my cart. I'm trying not to spend the money! Evil. Just evil.

Don't be shy with that powdered sugar. They pile it on at Cafe DuMonde. I have been involved in a couple of late-night powdered sugar fights there. The losers are readily noticeable! LOL!

My family lived in New Orleans before I was born! This was one of their favorites...I love them as well...must be a family thing!

You know, I never even really thought about looking online. Not going to lie... Every time I go I see the boxes there but never really thought about bringing it home to try and make. Wasn't sure how they would come out.

Thanks. Just ordered two boxes
