Lunch with Yuko at Adachi

One of the places Amy found online was Adachi.  The restaurant opens at noon.  Because of our schedule change, we were early.  We hung out at the 7-11 sown the block using the free WiFi.  Then moved to in front of the restaurant.  Our presence was noticed and the owner was very apologetic, even though she was not in the wrong at all, and gave us a gift of beautiful Japanese prints as we left.

The case to choose the sides.

Yuko and Amy at Adachi

Yuko was very helpful because there was not an English menu on the weekend.  There was a choice of 4 entrees, and then choose three sides from the case at the front.

One piece each of fried fish and fried chicken

Amy had miso mackeral, snails, and chicken livers for her sides.

I had raw tuna over rice, with spinach, yams, and green beans on the side

Prattville AL to NOLA and Lunch at Toup's South

This morning we actually had breakfast at the hotel.  We are planning lunch in NOLA.  

While driving we came saw signs for Harper Orchard Pecans, 10331 Potter Tract Rd, Grand Bay, AL 36541; (251) 423-1736

The Cracking Machine - The pecans are not fully shelled, they are just cracked.  This means you slow down while eating them, because you have to work for them!

When we arrived in NOLA. we went straight to lunch at Toups South, 1504 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd.
