Lunch at J'Anita's

[Duke]

Are the granitas every day? Or do I need to check? It's been WAY too long since I made it out that way. I think that would get me to make the drive that way.

Chris is working tonight. I had other plans for dinner, but the kids would be ECSTATIC if I picked them up and said 'we're going to J'Anitas instead'. I can't tell you how many times they've asked in the last few weeks.

We have mango and lemon and still some canteloupe. This will be pretty much a daily thing in the summer, unless we get slammed and sell out.

I'm there tonight - for the mango. And maybe the lemon to go. Hell, I might get cantelope too. Maybe I should bring a cooler with me for the drive back to Kenner.

We will see you tonight.

LOL Isa...what, was that too hard to follow? LOL

Yes, Kim's been making granitas. I got a Beach Sammich and pot salad Saturday to bring home for lunch and Kim gave me a couple spoonfulls of the Cantelope Granita to try. I still have it..I kinda forgot...

Just shock! I haven't heard a word about soup or granitas!
Wow! That's great! I love granita!

Thanks for the heads up yall!

The Granita was good! I had the mango - and had to fight with my youngest (who won't touch mango the fruit) for it. It was really good.

Kimmie told me how she did it but I forgot. I'll have to get her to tell me again. The kids would love making it - I do remember that it was easy.

(the soup was gone - but I was happy with my fish sandwich, my youngest with his burger, and the oldest with nachos).

Great meal, great price ... and I walked away (well, paid for) a really cool peice of art from J'Anita's wall.

The Fish Sandwich there continues to be the best sandwich in NOLA.

Thanks!!!! It's one of the reasons I married that man.... just one of them mind you.

Advisedly, the earlier the better. We tend to jam up after 10am or so on the weekends. Our small kitchen prohibits offering breakfast and lunch at the same time, so sometimes we simply have to close for 30 minutes or so to make the changeover.

Also, due to the bike race at City Park on Sunday (both my breakfast guys are riding in it), we will not be doing breakfast on Sunday this week only.

Silly Bike geeks...depriving the starving masses.

Glad I saw this...I'm a fixture there early a lot of Sunday mornings.

Jon, I hope you and the family enjoy it! I love the fact that everytime I order my eggs over medium, I get my eggs over medium...that does NOT happen anywhere else in this city.

Oh, and the grits are awesome! Just taste before you season them because they propably wont need any more seasoning.
