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…
16 Free Or Low Cost Things To Do in New Orleans
Travel can be expensive but sometimes the most enjoyable activities are free or nearly so. We have been going to New Orleans ever since our honeymoon in 1981 and I can honestly say that our favorite things to do there are free or low cost. Well, except eating. 😉 Dee’s Favorite Free or Low Cost…
Back from New Orleans, still recovering…
We got back from New Orleans late last Tuesday. We just couldn’t tear ourselves away and ended up staying rather late Monday night. We only went as far as Baton Rouge that night so Tuesday was a fairly long day. I then drove to the city Wednesday because my dad was having a procedure done…
Signs of the South
Outside a drive-thru restaurant in rural Oklahoma Seen in a parking lot New Orleans: Gotta love a place where you can shoot pool, drink a beer AND do your laundry. This one, seen in Austin, really spoke to me.
We’re back…
Just a quick post to let y’all know we did survive our trip to New Orleans. We got home Tuesday evening, enjoyed our first stargazing of the season, and then had a little trip to the E.R. after I broke out in massive hives and angioedema (swelling of face, lips, hands, ankles, etc.). I spent…
A bit of catching up to do

We are thrilled by this and having a blast, but it’s also rather time-consuming. There will come a time when we won’t…
Next year…
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been living vicariously through my New Orleans friends on Facebook as they have celebrated Carnival season and today, Mardi Gras. It looks like SO MUCH FUN! Even the cops get in on the fun: I swear, I’m going to figure out a way to be there for Mardi…
Giveaway!
*Update!: I’ve moved the date of the drawing to December 18th. Several weeks ago I made the promise that I would do a giveaway as soon as I reached 500 “likes” on the Tea With Dee Facebook page. Within a day or two of that announcement I reached (and passed) that goal. While in New…
Milk! Bread! Eggs!
We have a winter storm on the way with the possibility of sleet/ice/snow the next couple of days and bitter cold through the middle of next week. I am not amused. But I *am* prepared. We already had plenty of food in the house but after my piano lesson yesterday I made a quick stop…
