Happy Thanksgiving

Ten Eaux, New Moon, and Thanksgiving Wishes

Wow, that's a long time to go without a blog post. I'm embarrassed. For those wondering what happened to me, all I have is the usual story: there was a lot of work craziness going on this last week or so. We had our biggest auction of the year this last weekend and I've been putting in some long hours lately. To catch everyone up with the football fever, the Saints are still UNDEFEATED! 10-0 and the radio stations here now only play either Christmas tunes (I know, it's not right this soon) or various versions of "When the Saints Go Marching In". Who Dat?

In all the craziness, I squeezed in a viewing of the new Twilight Saga movie NEW MOON. I really didn't go as a die-hard fan, I went as someone needing a few good laughs with a friend and BOY...we were not let down. I really get a kick out of the cheesy-ness that is this series. I cannot get enough of the horrible acting, dorky editing, and just overall bad script writing. HA!

To all: Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, may your pumpkin pie's be sweet, your parades be eventful, your football teams lucky, your shopping not too crowded, and your travels be safe! I'll be attempting to make a traditional New Orleans Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce this year, so...here's hoping it looks just as yummy as the picture above!

8-0 Baby!!!

Saints 30 - Panthers 20 Another Week...Another Victory!!!

Who Dat! Ida!

Tailgaters are out in full swing today with the Saints vs. Panthers game on at 3:00 PM.

Here's hoping the Saints can keep up the perfect season!

Even though we're out of Hurricane Season (ended November 1st), Ida is getting closer. Tropical storm-force winds, less than 74 mph, are expected in the New Orleans area from Monday afternoon to Tuesday morning, and flooding of 3 to 5 feet can be expected outside hurricane protection levees and in areas around Lakes Pontchartrain.

Halloween on Frenchmen

Day of the Dead

November 1st - The “Day of the Dead,” a traditional Mexican celebration similar to All-Saints Day in the U.S., was commemorated with a series of special events at the Old U.S. Mint today. The occasion was celebrated with authentic Mexican and Mexican Indian arts, music, food, and family fun. All events were free and open to the public. Today was also the 3rd Annual Family Fiesta, featuring a Mariachi band, folkloric dancing, a taqueria truck and family-friendly fun. It was all staged in the outdoor courtyard on the Barracks Street side, facing the French Market from 2-4 p.m and I went to volunteer for the Hermann-Grima House making crafts with the children.
