House of the Week: Victorian on Annunciation Street

August 12, 2021 No Comments

I’ve been browsing real estate sites for several days now and nothing sincerely piqued my interest until now. Tucked away in the Lower Garden District is this 130-year-old Victorian townhouse on Annunciation Street, an adorable little building squashed between two much larger structures. Respectfully renovated about 4 years ago, the […]

House of the Week: Victorian on Caffin Avenue

April 13, 2021 No Comments

Location, location, location! For those who pay attention to real estate, that saying is all too true no matter where you live. It’s always interesting to me how if you took a house, regardless of type, and plunked it in a different location that it would double (if not triple) […]

House of the week: Victorian cottage on Lepage St.

June 6, 2016 No Comments

As housing prices rise in New Orleans, gorgeous classic homes float ever further from my financial reach. Finding a house that hasn’t had the culture renovated out of it is also becoming more and more difficult, but once in a while I’ll stumble upon a real beauty.

House of the week: Victorian on Congress Street

January 15, 2015 1 Comment

Because I simply can’t help myself, I was browsing available real estate listings again. Regardless of my apparent lack of income, I still can’t rip the hope from my heart that one day, before I die, I will enjoy a gorgeous, New Orleans home of my own. This week’s bout […]

House of the week: Victorian on N. Dupre Street

December 26, 2014 No Comments

I can’t think of a better time to dream, and dream big. Tis the season for me to wish on a star, cross my fingers and toes, and keep throwing spilled salt over my shoulder because who knows? Santa may still want to treat me to something truly fabulous. So […]

House of the week: Victorian double on Green Street

January 8, 2014 No Comments

I’m not good with money. I see something I want and I buy it, regardless of whether or not it’s the best deal, it’s right for me or if it’s even worth it. Because of my impulsiveness, I have often been disappointed and I really don’t want that to happen […]

House of the week: Double shotgun on Annunciation Street

December 10, 2013 5 Comments

Ever since I moved here, I’ve dreamed of living in and/or owning a double shotgun house. Why a double? I knew that it could be a good investment, the tenant would be paying the majority of my mortgage and well, they just look cool. Plus, I’ve seen owners remodel their […]

House of the week: Side Hall on Aline Street

May 2, 2013 2 Comments

Unless I manage to win the jackpot from Publishers Clearing House (which I enter religiously online), I don’t see poor little me ever affording a my own home. Until then, I will continue to dream, hope and work real hard…who knows what can happen? Maybe one of these days I’ll […]

House of the week: Victorian Centerhall on Chestnut Street

December 1, 2012 No Comments

My search should end right here…and if I was a beautiful, busty billionaire (two out of three ain’t bad? Ha!), it most definitely would. This is a dream house I would kill to die in. Located on the corner of Chestnut and Foucher, this two-story, Victorian Center hall built in […]

House of the week: Raised Centerhall on Washington

As it gets closer and closer to Mardi Gras, my search for the perfect carnival house intensifies, but I think I just found it. Located on Washington Avenue, less than half a block from St. Charles, is this gorgeous Raised Centerhall Victorian “cottage” that would hold my whole family and […]

I've been so obsessed with making the perfect kimc I've been so obsessed with making the perfect kimchi fried rice, I didn't even think about Chinese (well, the American version) fried rice! Sweet Chinese sausage and broken jasmine rice from @hkmnola, carrots, onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, peas and a few scrambled eggs. The secret is using day old rice from the fridge and a simple sauce of soy, sesame oil, rice wine or vinegar, and lots of pepper. It turned out so good, I not only made it two nights in a row, I'm considering adding a wok to my kitchen arsenal πŸ˜„πŸš #friedrice #alwayslearning #nolaamateurcook

Though I haven't been a California resident for ov Though I haven't been a California resident for over two decades, when I heard @thefishmarkets closed a couple of days ago -- especially the location in my hometown of San Mateo -- I teared up a little. Long gone are the days when a clothes shopping trip with Mom at Fashion Island Mall would culminate in lunch on the waterfront at The Fish Market. Never again will I taste their creamy clam chowder or gratuitously mop the last drops with a buttery slab of San Francisco sourdough. Diving into a whole Main lobster 🦞 , wearing a plastic Fish Market bib, drenching every sweet morsel in clarified butter will have to remain the stuff of birthdays past. Thank you @thefishmarkets for all the memories πŸ™πŸŽ£πŸŸ
