Something tells me I'm in for something good. Annette's Cafe at 219 Dauphine is kinda good weird. Open 7:00am to 3:00pm. Serving omelettes and breakfast all day....Greek lunch and standard New Orleans flair of red beans and rice....with all of this said it is Annette that captures my attention. Annette is an aging women that has been in a kitchen most of her life, she speaks with a French accent but is Moroccan. I ordered a Mediterranean plate with stuffed grape leaves, hummus and spinach pie...(the spinach pie was left out) I did clean my plate!....but for me it is Annette that will draw me back into the small and humble cafe. Once inside you can hardly believe you are in the French Quarter...there is something I just could not put my finger on. Let me give you a little description...plastic table clothes, shaky chairs, a King Tut poster on the wall, a map of (I think) German wine country, a video poker room, an almost dead plant in the corner, a poster written in marker of their Mardi Gras menu, very old magazines on a shelf, a newspaper clipping of Alex Baldwin and Annette from years ago, and an unusual piece of art by Annette's husband...which she will sell it for $400.00! ( I love the art work).... I can go on about other things but I must leave something for the imagination. It was only two of us, Annette, and the server to delight my senses, and not another soul came in. Annette was all for me...talkative, unusual, weird, and full of tales. I was on the dusty road to Marrakech! All this alone time on a Sunday afternoon about 2:00pm with Annette has made my week. I don't know maybe a past life or "The Twilight Zone"...(I expected Rod Sterling to call out of the gated video poker room)...some things just can not be explained and Annette's is one of them! I will return soon for a delightful plate of stuffed grape leaves and maybe they will serve the spinach pie....I can not wait to see what kind of experience I will have...

"Is it weird in here, or is it just me?" a quote from...Stephen Wright (American actor)

"Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, every thing's different." Bill Watterson...American author of comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes"


One more odd note...Johnny Depp.... I would have never thought he was born in Kentucky...Isn't Life amazing! I am still in "Wonderland"....please bare with me!

"School's a weird thing. I'm not sure it works." speaking of "GOOD WEIRD"....Johnny Depp..."American film actor (born 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky...raised in Florida and now resides in France. He dropped out of school at the age of 15. We are all capable of reinventing our self at any time and any age!

Have a good weird day!

Good Weird....Annette's Cafe and throw in a little fantasy....Johnny Depp!
