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…
Menu Plan Monday –
I’m writing this on David’s laptop in California and there’s a good chance things will come up this week that I’m not anticipating yet. But I’m going to give menu planning a shot anyway! 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.

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…
National Unfriend Day
November 17th has been designated “National Unfriend Day”. The idea is to get rid of all your annoying Facebook friends that day. Over time, nearly all of us end up with at least a few “friends” (or sometimes even relatives!) we wish we hadn’t approved in the first place. Now we have the perfect opportunity…
Crossing items off my list…
Note: We returned from our 11 day trip to New Orleans late last night. I have lots of stories to tell and pictures to share over the next several days. Here is the first: Remember that “101 in 1001” list I made some time ago? Well, one of the items on my list was to…
Food in New Orleans
We just returned from an eleven day trip to New Orleans and boy, are we stuffed! We decided to set aside our usual vegetarianism during the trip and simply enjoy whatever sounded good to us. We always have to have at least one meal at Mother’s. They make delicious po’ boys and we always split…
