Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Sometimes, you just can’t come up with a good introduction. No matter how hard you stare at the blinking cursor, your brain feels just about as empty as the pristine white screen in front of your face. Strange thoughts run through your mind occasionally like “Did I brush my teeth […]
I will always love a delicious cup of Try Me Coffee at the Trolley Stop Cafe…be it 10AM or 2AM.
Pinching the tail, you pull out the spicy morsel from it’s shell and eye the tumbled feast on the table before you…what next? A hunk of andouille? A buttery, red potato smeared with creamy garlic? Eat more crawfish while you think about it. As the sun dips towards the horizon […]
“But what is that of every hueyou carry in your basket?Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;I wonder that you ask it.” ~Rowena Bennett We are, all of us, very familiar with the archetypal, historical and cultural significance of the egg, ideas and beliefs that stretch back long before […]
How perfect is this house for me? Let me count the ways! First, it is a classic New Orleans Victorian built back in the early 1900’s. Second, it has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a cute little shed in the back that would make a perfect workshop for John or […]
Last week, I spent a ridiculous amount of time eating. A day and a half tasting dishes all over the city for the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience and a delicious media feast at Dijon Restaurant located in the old New Orleans firehouse on Annunciation were more than enough […]
A perfect cappuccino with truffles and raw sugar at Bayona.
Although I love looking at huge houses with 5+ bedrooms, gargantuan dining rooms and mammoth kitchens, in truth I really don’t need a whole lot of space. Naturally if I bought a house I would like at least one extra bedroom for guests, but otherwise I am perfectly happy with […]
I am the luckiest girl in the world. Never in my wildest imaginings would I believe that I could not only score tickets to the 2012 New Orleans Wine & Food Experience, I got to be a judge. Oh yes…this simple glutton from the suburbs, this flyspeck on the global culinary […]
Did the weather get warmer, so that I could drink Cool Brew or did drinking Cool Brew bring on the warm weather? A shot of Toasted Almond Cool Brew, some cold water, an Equal packet or two and rich, chocolate milk over ice is the best…iced coffee drink…ever…
Whenever I desire casual comfort, a relaxing atmosphere, good service and delicious, simple cuisine, there are two local restaurants that come to mind and one of them just happens to be Joey K’s. I know I’ve said it before, but when I first moved here I was a complete stranger […]
Ever since I had this thick, rich brew at the Green Goddess, I’ve been meaning to go out and buy several pounds of Union Coffee & Chicory, but I haven’t seen it in the grocery store. Do I have to buy this stuff online?
When you live in the Bay Area, finding enclosed dog parks is as easy as meeting blonde girls who say “hella” and dirty vagrants on Haight Street selling bunk acid from their left shoe. The suburbs are literally rife with pre-fab, astro-turfed dog “havens” where anal owners strictly patrol and […]
