Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
Though it’s a running gag that the only eateries open during the holidays are Chinese restaurants, the reality is not so far from the truth. Naturally, in New Orleans you can indulge in lavish Thanksgiving dinners at some of the finest restaurants in town, but who really has that kind […]
I met someone and I think I’m in love. He’s sweet, accommodating, relaxed yet stylish and extremely tasty as I was fortunate enough to discover last Friday afternoon. My friend Anne was there, too and we both enjoyed what he had to offer . . . I’m pretty sure anyone […]
When I started writing this blog, I promised myself I would pick a new restaurant to feature every week, knowing that with over 800 eateries in the Greater New Orleans Area it would take me a very long time to run out of food blogging fodder. Unfortunately, I did not […]
When you are forced into the position of buying something “as is,” it always seems to connote something negative. Like “the plumbing is shot, but the owner is selling the house ‘as is’” or “they’re selling the car ‘as is’ despite the leaky radiator.” I’d like to put a positive […]
I missed out on Marisol, was ill when he made Persian food at Bacchanal and just never seemed to make it down to Mimi’s of River Ridge, but I was determined to finally get a taste of Chef Pete Vazquez’s culinary magic when I heard about his new pop-up in […]
No, this post has nothing to do with working out or how to go about making your backside look more appealing. Actually, it is quite the opposite. It’s about how last week I took my butt to The Company Burger on Freret Street, placed it next to John’s butt and […]
After John and I stuffed ourselves silly with Chinese food at Jung’s Golden Dragon last week, I took his hand and literally dragged him about two-doors down the block to enjoy a delicious, sweet dainty from Sucré. Okay, it wasn’t a dainty, it was a sundae! Specifically, it was a […]
Growing up in the Bay Area did not make me an expert on Chinese food, but I am very familiar with different aspects of the cuisine. As a matter of fact, my Mom’s best friend and neighbor was from Hong Kong, so steamed pork buns and red envelopes were as […]
I’m feeling very whimsical today, endlessly hopeful and full of fancy. I’m dreaming big dreams and wishing on a star because only a huge windfall of fortune would enable me to attain a dream house like this one. People just don’t know how good they have it sometimes. Removing the financial […]
I feel ashamed, appalled and just plain mortified at my supreme sloth and I can’t hold my head up in public until I admit to my stellar level of laziness, throw this burden from my chest and heave a humongous sigh of relief. We drove to Trū Burger. Indeedy! A friend […]
There’s just something wonderful, even almost divine, about waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of freshly baked biscuits. I’ll swear on a stack of bibles that my Aunt Edie made the best homemade buttermilk biscuits on the planet. When she came to visit us from South Carolina, […]
I’m gonna admit it right off the bat, I think this house is priced a bit high at $250,000, but it’s sooo cute I couldn’t help posting about it. It’s a shotgun double at the Tchoupitoulas end of Toledano Street with two bedrooms and two bathrooms on each side and […]
