IF YOU DIDN'T FINALIZE YOUR EASTER PLANS...

There are some great restaurants to consider going to for lunch or dinner.
As you know, I love Vega Tapas in Old Metairie, and this is what I got from them:


Holy Week... Spain Style! 
Spain celebrates Easter Week much more than most European countries. During the whole of Semana Santa, (Holy Week), street processions are organized in most Spanish towns each evening, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.
 People carry statues of saints around on floats or wooden platforms, and an atmosphere of mourning - which can seem quite oppressive to onlookers - and the Easter week processions end with Easter Sunday, a day full of light and color when church and cathedral bells are heard ringing throughout the country.
 Food plays a big role in these celebrations as well, particularly on Easter Sunday when families gather for fish, vegetable and dessert-filled feasts. Fish stews, typically made with cod, chickpeas and spinach, as well as garlic soup are traditional favorites.  
 A number of mouth-watering desserts are served including Arroz con leche, or rice pudding. Most bakeries during Holy Week offer the classic Torrijas, which is similar to French toast. Stale bread is soaked in milk and then dipped into eggs, then pan-fried in butter and topped with cinnamon, sugar and honey.
Hop into Vega this week to enjoy Chef Glen's version of these tasty delights...



Brennan's Restaurants are always a good choice.
Wherever you'll be on Easter Sunday, have a great day and a great experience!
