There was andouille sausage with the shrimp boil. And _three_ kinds of salt on the popcorn, plus truffle oil. =)

And it was even more amazing than Jim made it sound!

I think I just gained 20 lbs reading this. Also, I want that strawberry shortcake and Rafi's popcorn! (Why does, "I want Rafi's popcorn," somehow sound dirty?)

Miss you guys!
