Thursday, November 11, 2010. Cool weather means it's Chicken and Sausage Gumbo time! Down here in the Crescent City, anything below 75 degrees qualifies as fall weather.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Garden Pergola Swing.the perfect gift! When my husband asked me what I wanted this year for my birthday, I gave it some serious thought. Past gifts have included whiskey barrels and flowers, dilapidated chairs, antique wooden bunnies. many of these gifts will live forever in the realm of family lore.let's just say hubby has a "knack" for gift giving. But I digress.what did I want this year? And that's how the perfect birthday gift came to be. And started building the fun stuff.

Crescent City Ramblings: Shrimp Boil Frittata....or crawfish...or crab
http://crescentcityramblings.blogspot.com/2013/11/shrimp-boil-frittataor-crawfishor-crab.html
Friday, November 8, 2013. Shrimp Boil Frittata.or crawfish.or crab. We recently boiled shrimp for the baby girl's 23rd birthday. Uncharacteristically for our gluttonous crew, we had leftovers. I know, right? The only possible explanation for this is we were saving room for the Reese's Peanut Butter Cake. To be served later.speaking of gluttony. I mean look at these? Seafood (Shrimp/Crawfish/Crab) Boil Baked Omelet. Whatever you have leftover from your shrimp/crawfish/crab boil. Now I just need to make su...

Saturday, September 28, 2013. Road to Hana - Maui. In researching our recent trip to Maui, I learned that another of the MUST DO's along with experiencing a sunset atop Haleakala crater. Was driving the Road to Hana. They say this 50 mile drive on Hwy. 36 takes about 3 hours from Lahaina, but no, it's an all day drive.and you love every second of it. Take my advice.rent a convertible. Trust me on this. A view through a window won't cut it. For this adventure, we purchased the GyPSy app. One of the highli...

Crescent City Ramblings: Fall Wreath
http://crescentcityramblings.blogspot.com/2010/10/fall-wreath.html
Monday, October 18, 2010. I decided to make a quick fall wreath for my naked front door. This is super easy, even if you consider yourself "craft challenged". Believe me, I'm no Martha Stewart and I can do this. The hardest part is deciding on the look you're going for and picking out the flowers and other decorations. I spend. Trying to make up my mind. I come from a long line of crafty, but indecisive women, and I'm proud to say that it's a curse I've apparently handed down to my two daughters. You can...

Just too dark for pics. Our friend, Nancy, was nice enough to share her dessert with the table.chocolate bark, extr...
