French Friday

Memory Lane Monday – Candy Cigarettes

June 28, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

Candy Cigarettes

Did you ever “smoke” candy cigarettes?  Apparently they are still available online although I haven’t seen them in stores for years.  Somewhere along the line the idea of children pretending to smoke lost its charm and candy cigarettes disappeared from common use.  I’m sure that’s for the best, although I’m not convinced they really encouraged…

Summer nights…

June 28, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

One of my favorite things about New Orleans is all the live music.  There’s nothing quite like spending a summer evening with good friends listening to music.  Here in our little Oklahoma town, that sort of thing used to be hard to come by but things, they are a changin’.   This past Thursday evening I…

Menu Plan Monday…

June 28, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Operation “Clear Out the Refrigerator and Freezer” is in full swing this week.  We have ordered a new refrigerator to be delivered this coming weekend and I need to drastically reduce the stock.  We also have a deep freeze which is full to the brim with no room for the peaches, corn and other goodies…

Oh. My. Goodness. Don’t these look and sound fabulous?  Today’s recipe comes to you courtesy of Lisa Zehr.  Lisa and I went to high school together and reconnected via Facebook.  We attended school in California and would you believe she’s now in Texas, not that far from me?  We definitely need to plan to meet…

The Pirate and the Princess…out on the town

June 23, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

A friend of mine in New Orleans mentioned this great idea she had for getting local bars to host “Tiara Tuesdays”.  Ladies wearing tiaras would get reduced price drinks.  I thought this was brilliant.  I mean, really.  A good excuse to wear my tiara AND save money?  What could be better.   The other night while…
