New Orleans

It is hot here. I've been wondering why, if New Orleans is so hot and humid, do the locals eat so much spicy and fried stuff?

The food here so far has been good, if somewhat the same. Oysters, gumbo, crab, catfish, etc. on every menu.

My mom asked me to bring back some dried shrimp ("ha mai") back to her. She said to find the Chinese people.
