Re: Sound of Music sing-a-long

hey.....I also sing John Denver tunes from time to time........who cares LOL. I love the Sound of Music. My sister and I used to play act the movie when we were younger. On Sunday Morning they had a piece on the woman who dubbed (sang) the music for a lot of the actresses back in the day ( King and...

Today's lunch at La Petite Grocery

A rare weekday off allowed me to try LPG for lunch, which, despite its proximity to my house, I had never tried. I took one of the banquette seats along the wall (brief flashback to Christian's - RIP). Soup was a densely creamy pureed turnip soup generously laden with white truffle oil. Just can't g...

Re: Sound of Music sing-a-long

A friend of mine went and amazingly (to me at least), they had a vastly greater turnout than expected and had to turn away a bunch of folks. But there will be another show for the rain checks and those who missed this one. My friend offered to buy me dinner if I went and wore my lederhosen. Fortunat...

In Philly, they're mean and they're green...

I am tired of hearing about green stuff, but this is one instance where I'd like to see more of it. Or less of it. Of course here in NOLA the outfits would have to double as a personal flotation device.

Where the Girls Were

If you're 50-plus, you may enjoy Where the Girls Were at Le Petit, which wraps this week. I went last weekend with a bunch of us old geezers. While the cast is a little uneven and not as good as the original cast in the 80's with Becky Allen, Wanda Rouzan, et al. it's all in good fun. The black girl...

Re: Martin's Wine Cellar Specials Board

This is the first I'm hearing about a return to Baronne St. in a while. There was a lot of speculation after the storm and mixed signals. The last I heard - and this is long ago now - was that the Baronne location had been permanently written off by Cedric as a retail venue. So, the "letter&quo...

Re: Ascension, Livingston and Tangipahoa Parish Road Trip.

Thanks for those pics. I spent many a weekend on the Tickfaw growing up. We'd put in at Blood River, Dad would put some Herb Albert in the built-in 4-track tape deck and we were off! Sometimes Mom would pack a fried chicken dinner from Joe-D's market in BR (no Popeye's back then), but on lucky days,...

Re: In the Land of Cocktails

I gave it as a stocking stuffer at Christmas. Fun book. A friend of mine from Peru helped me "perfect" the Pisco Sour recipe one night.
