David and I leave tomorrow morning for eleven glorious days in New Orleans, the city where our souls reside. We will be visiting with all our New Orleans friends and probably making new ones, too. It has to be one of the friendliest places and we have the best time just chatting with folks there….
Menus and cleaning and packing…oh, my!
I won’t be posting a usual weekly menu because we are leaving for New Orleans on Thursday morning. I’m cooking a big pot of soup today in order to use up any vegetables that might spoil during our time away. Over the next three days we will be eating bowls of that soup and using…
Four Years Ago…
Yesterday was my birthday and what a day it was! I was so touched by all the many birthday wishes friends were leaving on my Facebook page and began replying to each individually. Apparently I reached some unknown activity limit and Facebook decided to wish me a happy birthday by disabling my account. Lovely. It…

Feels Like Home…
When we disembark from the plane at the Louis Armstrong airport in New Orleans and hear the music, we always look at each other and say, “we’re home”. I know it sounds crazy but that’s really the way it feels. We arrived in our favorite city yesterday afternoon, checked into the hotel, napped awhile and…
Menu Plan Monday…
Monday: ham and peas in cream sauce over pasta Tuesday: omelets Wednesday: pizza Thursday: dinner at the Oceana Grill in New Orleans! Friday: dinner at some other wonderful N.O. restaurant yet to be determined
