B in The Big Easy

Beth was in New Orleans this week for work. She had a great time with the HBI Safety Board, as always! In addition to working on safety stuff, we celebrated Safety Sam's retirement. Here are a few of her "take-aways":

• Mother's fried chicken is AMAZING (even though, to our dismay, we ate amidst Mother's mice....luckily that was on our last day)
• The bread pudding is also delish!
• I must have gained at least 2 or 3 lbs while in the Big Easy (obviously due to the fried chicken and bread pudding!)
• Bourbon Street is not her thing
• Watch where you step while on Bourbon Street...or wear closed-toe shoes!
• It was a ghost town on Thursday....people were evacuating in prep for Gustav....we hope they are spared this time around
• It's stinky there.....
