A Few Thoughts . . .

Hi all,

I'd just like to mention a few things in this blog. First, I'd like to say that I'm pretty excited to begin reading our next book on Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen. She is extremely important for New Orleans culture because she pioneered a mixed version of African Ritual and Catholicism that we know today as "Voodoo."



Next, I'd like to go back to a previous book we read, A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. According to Dr. Hunt, Le Petit Théâtre is showing a one-man show of the the play this Saturday I believe. So, if you liked to book, i think it might be worth your while.



Also, I'd like to make some Restaurant suggestions.

1) Café Dégas (French Restaurant)
2) Mr. Ed's (Creole Restaurant)
3) Mr. B's (Pricey 'Restaurant' Creole Food - owned by Brennan family so it's going to cost a 'pretty penny')
4) Mike East-West (Delicious Creole Food with Asian Twist)
5) Three Sisters (Delicious Creole Restaurant)

Lastly, this is a bit random, but I'd like to share a good New Orleans 'desert' with you. I personally feel a little piece of heaven every time I eat one of these.




Those are just some humble suggestions. I hope you all have a safe, fun Spring Break.

Best,

--André

  1. I definitely agree with you on the Hubig's pie. When I was a kid, my Mum used to order them for us by the box load and have them shipped to SC because you can't get them anywhere other than LA.
