Beignets in Crow's Nest

Tonight I met Nicole in Crow’s Nest. I have never been to Crow’s Nest before (it’s a big deal for me to cross the harbour!), and it was quite the Friday-night-parking challenge. While we chatted in New Orleans Café I had the strangest Chai Latte ever. It came with the frothed milk IN the teapot, with half a pot full of the tea components, a cup, a tea strainer and a small plastic tub of honey. Pouring frothed milk through a tea strainer does things to the froth, and given that I never take sugar I don’t know why I stirred in the honey. We also both ordered Beignets. Don’t ask me how you say that. At a guess I’d say there are around 700 calories per mouthful, and I am not so sure they were calories well spent. But, it’s good to try something different (I think!), and we had a most lovely time chatting about a number of things, not the least of which was blogging.
