Not only is it the best and most reasonably priced meat in town, but they make the best fried catfish po-boy in Mandeville (so far). For about $20 I got a roast beef po-boy, a catfish po-boy (I split with my son), 1/2 pound basket of catfish & a basket of nuggets. They also have …
Today the kiddos and I explored the Mandeville Farmer’s Market at the Trailhead. It is about 70 plus degrees, the perfect day to explore. Tons of yummy food, local crafts, fresh fruits and vegetables, and music playing in the background. I bought some banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin butter and fresh strawberries.

Go ahead, sing that title to “I love a parade” & it may be stuck in your head all day. Son #2 has been sick all week. He was most upset that he would miss Beignet day at school. Since we had to venture out to the docs, I took him out to eat. We …
This title was coined by a man I know & am married to as well (we should have cashed in on t-shirts with this slogan)! Anyhoo, why oh why is the first word out of every LA politician’s mouth, FEMA or Federal Government money? Let me explain in idiot terms. My 6 yo had her …
