Hi, my name is Shiloh Beauregard Piercy but you can just call me Shiloh (Mom sometimes calls me Doodlebug but that’s kind of silly). Mom asked me to tell you a little about myself. I don’t really like to think about my life before Mom and Dad adopted me so let’s just talk about the…
Music Monday ~ Blues and Barbecue Festival
One of the things I love about the people of New Orleans is that they can find something to celebrate almost every weekend. Of course there are the big festivals like Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest, Voodoo Fest, Decadence, etc. but I love some of the smaller ones, too. A couple of days after we…
Menu Monday ~ October 26, 2015
After our return from New Orleans late this past Monday, I decided to just “wing it” regarding meals. I made spaghetti one night, David picked up burgers another, I cooked a nice chicken dinner Friday…somehow, despite a plan we didn’t go hungry. This week, however, I’m back to my usual menu planning ways. David…
Sundays Unplugged
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. David is still coughing up a lung and I’m doing my best to dodge the cold which is hot on my tail. I think it’s best we skip church today and avoid spreading our germs about. Yesterday I printed off some things I’ve been meaning to read so I…
Dee’s Week in Review
This has been one of those weeks when I can’t seem to keep track of what day it is. We got home from our vacation to New Orleans late Monday night so that is likely what threw me off. We had a wonderful time other than a trip to the E.R. with David. We aren’t…
Taco Chicken ~ An Easy Weeknight Dish
Taco Chicken is an easy weeknight recipe and don’t we all need more of those? I like recipes that use simple ingredients I tend to have on hand. Taco Chicken is also easily adaptable to your family’s taste. You can adjust the spiciness by changing the amount of taco seasoning or using salsa instead of…
My library book sale haul
I have no idea how many years I have been attending our local public library book sales but one look at my bookshelves will tell it’s been going on a long time. Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. Yesterday afternoon I stopped by the book sale and picked up a few. I have become a…
Dinner at Antoine’s
David and I honeymooned in New Orleans 34 years ago. We bought a honeymoon package from a travel agent (remember those?) which included lodging at the Royal Orleans plus a few other things, including dinner at Antoine’s. We both grew up in families that ate in nice restaurants pretty often but Antoine’s was definitely a…
La rentrée – or “welcome home”
The French population generally takes off work and school for the month of August. I know! Wouldn’t that be awesome? They have a term for the return to “real life” in September – la rentrée. Children head off to school, adults return to work, routines are implemented and life generally regains its usual rhythm. We returned from…
