This season, Hasbro is pushing their new Scrabble Game Folio, which is designed for travel: the gameboard sits inside a zip-up binder and the miniature tiles snap into place so that the game can easily support airplane turbulence and being packed up mid-game to be finished later. Kenny and I, having appreciated playing Scrabble at our […]

I don’t watch very many movies. I think the last film I saw in the theatre was Thank You for Smoking (back in March or April, I believe), and Kenny and I don’t even rent enough films to warrant the smallest NetFlix package (fortunately, when we do get the urge to rent something, we can […]
I’m sure Kenny will write a full-fledged review, and I’m not going to try to replace that. All I’m going to say is that if you ever have a chance to visit Drago’s Seafood in Metairie, Louisiana, do it. And make sure you order the charbroiled oysters (they churn out thousands of these every day).

Tennessee-Style Trash Can Turkey (as Practiced in New Orleans)
Published November 23rd, 2006 in Food. 2 CommentsAs promised, some photos of the trash can turkey…

The trash can goes on top.
And then the hot coals go on top of (and around) the trash can.
The turkey “bakes” this way […]
The French Quarter has certainly recovered pretty well, but there were still many signs of the destruction that happened in August 2005.
Many establishments have signs like this, or “now hiring” signs.
Throw me something, FEMA.
One thing hasn’t changed: the daiquiris are still flowing.
Food!
Kenny’s dad and stepmom moved to Slidell, Louisiana (a suburb of New Orleans) about two years ago. Just after Hurricane Katrina, Kenny and I both wrote about their experiences during and in the aftermath of the disaster.
Kenny has been out to Slidell once to visit Gary and Lynn since Katrina, but I haven’t had the […]
I saw a car last night with a window sign that read “Honk if you scrapbook!”
Perhaps even more important (in my mind) than the question of whether or not the sign was an attempt by the car owner to be ironic, was how “scrapbook” acquired its status as a verb.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Over on the slog, there’s a heated debate going on about which type of apple is the best. By my non-scientific count, honey crisps seem to be winning by a landslide. As if there was ever any real question about their superiority.
Kenny and I were fortunate to find an amazing Seattle wedding photographer named Rebecca Sullivan. She has showcased some highlights from our wedding in her portfolio on her website. To find us, click on “Celebrations,” and in the new window that pops up, scroll down to the album labeled “JOYOUS.”
In there you’ll also get a […]
