A Taste of New Orleans

November 8, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

As usual, we ate all sorts of delicious foods during our recent trip to New Orleans. For some reason I didn’t take as many pictures of our meals as usual but I did capture a few: My favorite sandwich: Thanksgiving Turkey Croissant at Stanley! near Jackson Square.

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 7

November 8, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

On this, the 7th “Day of Thankfulness”, I’m thankful for music. I simply cannot imagine life without it. Music gives me energy when I’m tired, cheers me when I’m feeling low, calms me when I’m agitated and always…always soothes my soul. One of our favorite things to do in New Orleans is listen to live…

August 31, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’ve been praying for those affected by Hurricane Isaac, especially those who are reliving the emotional trauma left over from Katrina. I’m sure it brings back a lot of terrible memories. However, when I first started thinking about my annual Katrina anniversary post a couple of weeks ago, I decided I was going to focus…

The Kitchen Witch

October 20, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

One of my favorite little shops in the French Quarter of New Orleans is The Kitchen Witch. I’m a sucker for a bookstore, particularly one of those crowded, cozy types. Make it a bookstore specializing in cookbooks and I positively swoon.  I discovered this little gem on our first or second trip back to New…

The city of my soul..

February 23, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I’m really missing New Orleans, especially since my NOLA friends have started posting pictures of the parades which have started for Carnival season.  One of these days we will be there for Mardi Gras but for now, I am just counting the days until our April trip.
