A Glimpse of Our New Orleans Vacation

December 14, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

You may have noticed that I sort of “disappeared” last week. I had posts scheduled on Facebook and a menu post last Monday but unless you follow me on Instagram you probably didn’t “see” much of me. That’s because we spent the week in New Orleans. We hadn’t planned on going again this year until…

April 26, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

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…

New Orleans Books

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

April 14, 2016 By Christopher Piercy Leave a Comment

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.

Corn Crab Bisque ~ New Orleans Style

April 13, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Corn Crab Bisque

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…

Weekend in New Orleans

December 16, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

When you get an offer to go to New Orleans the answer is always, “Yes!”. David’s boss called him Tuesday evening and asked if we’d like to attend his daughter’s wedding in New Orleans on Saturday. It was a small, destination wedding and several had been unable to attend at the last minute. The food…

December 9, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

When your husband calls and asks if you want to go to New Orleans for the weekend, the answer is “yes!”.  So we haven’t put up our Christmas tree yet and I haven’t finished our Christmas letter. So my to-do list is a mile long. Who cares? Content here on the blog and the Facebook…
