Good Morning NOLA! It’s cold and it’s wet! Yuck! I bet you didn’t need me to tell you that. The rain is here for the next couple of days and as cold as it is there is a chance for sleet and even possible snow. This is not the kind of weather you want to be out and about in. Personally my plans revolve around my bed and my couch for the next few days. The highs are barely getting out of the thirties if that. Our lows are staying in the thirties over night. Don’t forget to take care of the pipes, the pets and your peeps. It is cold out there. For you northern transplants out there it might be a joke to you but this is serious weather for us. We are not used to frozen rain or snowballs, unless it’s the kind you get from the snowball stand in the sweltering summer. Have a great day whatever your plans are and I’ll see you in NOLA! …. after it warms up .

Would it be difficult for a black woman to live in Spain?
I plan on studying abroad (in Barcelona) over the summer to learn Spanish. Now, my knowledge of the language is rather pathetic, but I figured that if I’m thrown into the culture, it’ll be a lot easier to learn than in a classroom in New Orleans, Louisiana. Is there a high chance that I may not feel welcomed because I’m black and because I don’t know Spanish?
No, you’ll love studying in Spain, their is a lot of black people from all corners of the globe living in Spain. Outside the United States their is no color segregation or skin color issues. That’s an American thing, were all people outside the USA, not skin colors.
Also, almost everyone speaks English in Spain, so don’t waste your money on Spanish translation books.

Acme Oyster House
During the Lenten season abstinence from meat on Fridays is obligatory for all us “good Catholics” in Louisiana and elsewhere. Salt and freshwater species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish are permitted. So darn the luck, as Paw-Paw Benoit would say. What do we in the Bayou State during Lent? We eat even more seafood! If you are down in New Orleans during Lent (actually anytime of the year) and you are looking for seafood you have just hit the jackpot.
Some of the best seafood I have ever eaten was served up right here in the Crescent City. The problem is choosing at which wonderful eatery to pull up a chair or a stool. Fans consistently rank Acme’s oysters, seafood and atmosphere among the best in New Orleans and the country and they get my vote, too. Acme Oyster House has been around since1910. Louie Armstrong had not even started his first band and the Acme Café was opened on Royal Street in the French Quarter. Acme has long been a staple in the Big Easy restaurant pantry chock a block full of amazing cuisine. Because a horrible fire in 1924 caused the collapse of the three-story Acme Saloon building, the Café was re-opened as Acme Oyster House around the corner at 724 Iberville in the world famous French Quarter, just off of Bourbon Street.
In addition to the French Quarter location, Acme Oyster Houses are open in Covington, Metairie, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and in Sandestin on the Florida panhandle. Acme shucked well over 3.6 million fresh oysters in 2008. That’s almost 10,000 oysters a day and doesn’t even include the fried ones. Its neon sign is a beacon guiding the hungry by the droves. Locals and tourists a-like line up for some of the best New Orleans style seafood around and is a testament to this place in a city renowned for its food. Don’t let the line deter you it moves really fast! I suggest you order an Abita from the bar and hang tight. Your seat at a checkered tablecloth covered table is coming right up.
World famous for their ice cold oysters on the half shell, Acme has out done themselves with their version of char-grilled oysters. Grilled in the shell with garlic, butter and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese this is a treat for even the most oyster opposed of us. Trust me; I have brought many an anti-oyster visitor over from the dark side by offering this sizzling delicacy on a piece of New Orleans French bread. Just a side note, when the oyster is gone, dip your bread in the empty shell to get every drop of the buttery ambrosia left in the bottom! Cést Bon, Cher!
If the oysters won’t tempt you then check out Acme’s impressive menu. The fried catfish platter and the corn and crab soup may be just the thing for a Lenten supper. Of course, there is always hot seafood gumbo to chase away the chill of a cool day. No matter what you order you can’t go wrong. Stand in line at Acme. I promise, they aren’t going anywhere and it is well worth the wait!

Good Morning NOLA! Can you say “rain, rain, go away”? Sorry guys, but it’s not going anywhere. Atleast not until later tonight. We not only have thunderstorm warnings but we are under a tornado watch too. Temps will drop after the rain rolls through and our low tonight is forty-nine. The parades rolled anyway the rain came down. Endymion was moved to tomorrow and will roll with Bacchus. There is still lots to do, so don’t let a little rain stop you. I was soaked to the skin but still did my part to line the parade route. Hot boiled crawfish was my reward after. Along with a cold Abita Amber I think my day went very well in spite of the rain falling in sheets. Tomorrow is another day and should be a great one. No rain in the forecast and nice temps should make it perfect parade weather. I will be “playing” Mardi Gras on the new Nick Cage movie “Medallion” being filed in the Big Easy. It shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for me.
