I will eventually be returning to my usual “French Friday” posts but since I still have pictures to share from New Orleans I thought I’d make this “French Quarter Friday”. The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson square is probably the most photographed and easily recognized landmark in New Orleans. Isn’t it pretty? One of our…

New Orleans adventures
I know, I know. I promised stories and pictures of our recent trip to New Orleans. And I do intend to follow through but life has been nuts. Two days after returning from NOLA we zipped off to California for five days. David had to go on business and took me along. And if that…
Love Beats Hate
Remember this? Cool, huh? Well, while attending Voodoo Fest in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago I spotted this guy: I didn’t see anyone else hugging him yet so of course I had to: David snapped this picture with his iPhone from quite a distance so this was the best editing I could do. …
Memory Lane Monday – You can’t go home again
This past Saturday David and I drove all around where we grew up. We went by his old house, mine,my grandparents’ and cousins’, the church I attended as as child, his elementary school and many other places from our youth. While the drive did bring back some memories and a bit of nostalgia, neither of…

Monday: On our way home from California so we will probably grab a bite in OKC or Norman. Tuesday: fettucine alfredo…
California dreaming
I stepped off the plane and immediately noticed that the airport smelled faintly like a swimming pool. I am one of those weird people who actually likes the smell of bleach so this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. But there was no music playing, either. Hey, Toto, we aren’t in New Orleans anymore. Until we…
Guest Post Friday – Butterbeans and Pork
This guest post is rather timely since we just returned from New Orleans. Many thanks to Barbara for the recipe and the Cajun vs. Creole explanation. That’s pretty close to how I would have described the differences but no matter how you label it, the food in Louisiana is the best anywhere. Of Cajun and Creole…
Ozzy!
There were lots of good bands at Voodoo Fest but I must admit I was most excited about seeing this guy: He may be getting up in years and no one could accuse him of being overly conscientious about his health during his long career. His memoir, I Am Ozzy, reads like a textbook case…
