The Windsor Court Hotel was on my bucket list of places to stay in New Orleans, and I can finally check it off. I was already a huge fan of the hotel, having been named as one of Windsor Court’s 140 Characters of New Orleans last year, dining there a couple of times with my …

What is your favorite restaurant in New Orleans? A client from out of town asked me that very question the other day and my response was, “You can’t get a bad meal here. The Brennans restaurants are great but there are so many others.” Dining in New Orleans is an experience like no other in …

Marvin – everyone’s favorite bartender and I took this pic this morning. I’m blogging to you from the top of the Hotel Monteleone in the hospitality suite. The view of the mighty Mississippi Rive is breathtaking up here. My tummy is full from a breakfast sponsored by Van Gogh Vodka and I can’t believe I …
2/9 realized I switched the title of the movie by accident and corrected my post. Thanks readers for catching this. My 12 year old could not wait to see this movie. He is the kid I catch with the flashlight under the covers late at night. Out of all the books he has read, he …
I’ve been here almost 2 years now and last night was my first experience at a Brennan’s family restaurant (pathetic huh?). Hubby has done the circuit with his work and I smile and say, “Glad you had a good time, it was a joy staying home with the kids (dripping sarcasm).” My very own radio …
Last night was hubby’s Christmas party for work. We had it at Austin’s Restaurant in Metairie. The food was spectacular. It was a 5 course meal with: fried eggplant in marinara sauce, duck and sausage gumbo (I passed on this), a lovely salad, trout almondine (fantabulous) or steak and bread pudding. After dinner, we got …
The kids go back to school on the 8th – woot woot. I mean, I will just cry and cry all day *sniff sniff* (evil laugh inserted here)!!! Anyhoo, my parents are here this last week of vacation. We have been busy doing all kinds of touristy stuff and going out to eat (yay – …
*** A great Sunday was spent at Bass Pro in Denham Springs. We ate at their restaurant Islamorada Fish Company and I must say – we were impressed with the food and the prices weren’t too shabby either. Mmmmmm… the sugar bread was scrumptious. *** The Hungry Forager in Mandeville is a new eating establishment. …
My Jacques-Imo’s virginity was broken last night and I can’t wait to go back for more!!! If ever an atmosphere screamed “New Orleans, fun and eclectic,” this place is it all rolled into one. There is amazing artwork for sale on the walls and the lights, well, they were the ones made of Mardi Gras …
Sorry folks, I maxed out on “love week,” too many other things racing in my little brain (the hamster drank too much caffeine I think). I got my dozen roses, a cupcake from my daughter and kisses from the boys…what more could a girl want for Valentine’s Day? And to top it off, we are …
* Empty bladder before reading “alert.” Find out everything you wanted to know about Mardi Gras but were afraid to ask about Mardi Gras (read the answers – LOL) * Took dad to Louisiana Grill in Mandeville for lunch today. They were a local establishment before Katrina and after the storm focused on catering and …
Who invented this fine dining idea? Guess there is more to life than Sonic and dry cereal (my cooking disability always gets in the way)? Last night, yours truly, hubby’s 2 “old” (evil laugh inserted here) Army buddies and their better halves rocked La Provence in Lacombe. Who wouldtahunk there would be such an amazing …
