Drink recipe

I watched Runaway Jury last night and finished it this morning. Despite the completely idiotic high French spoken in a voodoo shop to a woman Rachel Weitz identifies as Cajun (um, you mean maybe Creole, or Haitian, or Haitian Creole?), it was pretty good. And later on she did pronounce "Chartres" authentically: it's just "charters." Not frenchified.



Anyway, there are two scenes filmed at Napoleon House, where hubby & I made it official. 1) The jury goes for drinks after one of their first days on duty. 2) The final confrontation between RW, John Cusack & Gene Hackman. You can see the Napoleon bust on the bar in one of them, the first one I think. And the arched doorways and the peeling paint.



Yes, it's a bar. But we met in a bar, dated in a bar, and I'm not gonna mention what all else in a bar. But Napoleon House is our favorite bar by far. And upstairs is L'Appartment de l'Empereur, where Napoleon was supposed to hide out after being rescued from exile by some NOLA-based plotters, including former NOLA mayor, Nicholas Girod. That's were we tied the knot and tied one on.
