Prince has now been gone from this world for one week, and I, like so many other music fans, am still wrestling with how to process the loss of such a titanic artistic force. Like this year’s earlier loss of David Bowie, there has been a tremendous outpouring of public grief, remembrance, and celebration for…
Creating a Beautiful Life With Rituals
When my children were little we had a bedtime ritual. David or I would bathe them and then dress them in clean pajamas. I would comb their wet hair, usually braiding Lisa’s long hair loosely so it wouldn’t tangle overnight. Following tooth brushing we would tuck them into bed and read a story (or ten)….
A Few Pictures From Our Trip to New Orleans
I’m having a hard time getting back into a routine and catching up after our trip. We are unpacked and the laundry has been done but there’s still so much more to do. Traveling is great but re-entry sucks. So, because I should be vacuuming up two week’s worth of dog hair I made you…
Menu Monday ~ April 25, 2016
It seems like ages since I planned a menu. We were out of town for a full two weeks and now I’m trying to get back into the usual routine again. I’ve still got partially unpacked suitcases on the floor and a to-do list a mile long! Let’s start with this week’s menu, shall we?…
In Memory…
Today we are in Idaho to honor the memory of David’s mom. I’m so very glad we took the trip here last summer to visit her. These photos from that trip are precious and will be treasured. Rest in peace…you will be missed.
Menu Monday ~ April 18, 2016
Good morning! We are still on vacation and I won’t be home until Thursday. David then leaves on a business trip and won’t be home until Saturday. Obviously a menu won’t be forthcoming from me this week. Again! Instead I’m going to share some helpful resources and links to some of the food blogs I…
Dee’s New Orleans Book Recommendations
I have no idea how many books I have read about or set in New Orleans. From the first time we visited the city on our honeymoon I was captivated and began reading anything and everything I could find about it. I was never much of a romance book reader but I would even read…
Timely Tunes ~ New Orleans
This week on Timely Tunes we turn our attention to the music of New Orleans. Few cities in the world have a musical history as rich or diverse as New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans’ most famous and far-reaching contribution to music is jazz, which gestated in its various neighborhoods and reached many out-of-towners in…
Corn Crab Bisque ~ New Orleans Style
I’m a sucker for rich and creamy soups. Add seafood to it and I’m sold. This is my take on a recipe for corn crab bisque I got from the New Orleans School of Cooking and it’s truly a keeper. It’s extremely rich so a small bowl with a hunk of good, crusty French bread is all…
