Satsumas!!

Plaquemines Parish lies due south of New Orleans and extends all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. It was hit hard by Katrina, and one sure casualty of the storm had to be the citrus crop. Plaquemines satsumas are an annual delight that everyone in New Orleans anticipates, but I sure didn't expect to find any this year.

Imagine my delight, while driving back from a visit to an Plaquemine oil refinery (still trying to get back online after the storm) to see that Becnel's fruit stand was open and had all the satsumas you could want!

I got 6 bags & next time I go down I'll probably get 10.
