Oh God. I absolutely LUV eating beignets. Actually even looking at them makes me salivate. Perhaps it’s really a good thing that I don’t live in New Orleans!! If I did, I’d weigh 400 pounds—all of it being beignet weight—okay okay with some rice and tempura and dim sum thrown in.
Here is a blog site with a wonderful wonderful take on the beignet:

Rice, tempura, dim sum, and beignets sounds like a damn tasty diet to me. 😉 And let’s not forget the noodles!
