Sneauxmageddon, Sneauxpocalypse & Sneauxzilla...

NEW ORLEANS —The National Weather Service says a winter storm warning will be in effect from noon Tuesday to noon Wednesday. Two things will happen today: it'll get colder & it's going to get wet. That is going to create ice, which will create hazards.

Major road closures all over, including I-10 (both directions) which goes through metro NO.

SLEET / ICE PELLETS — The invisible threat that began in earnest this afternoon around 3pm and is projected to continue till around midnight. There are a few snowflake flurries every now and then too!!

Because I'm worth it!!!

My Birthday Cake

A king cake that is generously filled with salted caramel, fresh bananas, roasted pecans, mascarpone cheese, caramello and covered in a praline glaze touched with flecks of real gold.

(YES, that's right .... real GOLD!!)

Watch how Domenica Restaurant creates the cake above.

( Chef Lisa White, the head pastry chef at John Besh’s Domenica & creative genius behind this decadent king cake, has been a fellow Nyx sister for the last two years -- HAIL NYX!! )

  Interesting Fact

In the U.S. Gulf Coast since the 1950s, the most common trinket has been a small plastic "Christ child" baby, but this over-the-top king cake uses the traditional trinket of a gilded bean (a symbol of renewal), still seen in some European and Mexican traditions but rare in the U.S.

Go Saints

 

Happy Carnival Season
