Hello!
What a great read about your travels to my hometown, Breaux Bridge. Especially, the part reading about my parents cooking for you and Maison Madeliene! I want to send this to my parents, so they can see it. I do have a small request:
Would you mind changing my parents’ names to Hubert and Vickie? Instead of Hebert and Viki? Our last name is Hebert, though. I know, my father’s name is something: Hubert Hebert! Ha!
I am not complaining, really. Just wanted to let you know 🙂
I to miss home! I live in DC now, and cook like my mother! If yall are ever here, please do let me know!
Regards,
Casey Hebert

I’m so glad you stumbled onto this post Casey! Your parents were a true delight with their charming southern hospitality. Of course I will gladly correct the spelling of the names, sorry about that! I bet you’re a fantastic cook if you learned from your parents!
