It is shrimp season in Louisiana and I was given the task by the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board to come up with a recipe for beautiful shrimp caught straight out of Louisiana waters.

It Happened Here – A New App for New Orleans

I really like the concept for the It Happened Here App, available for both the Android and IPhone! It’s like having a personal tour guide on your smart phone. They recently added New Orleans to their list of cities! {Very Smart Move!} Even though I am blatantly bias, I can’t think of a more interesting city. The […]

Wordless Wednesday 5/2/11 {Linky}
