To celebrate Louisiana fishing beginning to return to normal we present the crawfish cocktail.
September 28, 2010 As I write this Tuesday evening Tropical Depression # 16 is just on the verge of being upgraded to a tropical storm. It will cross Cuba later tonight and make a run through the Florida Straits right for us Wednesday afternoon. It may gain strength, but at this point in time nobody is very sure. Our plan at the restaurant is to remain open as long as conditions permit. We may, however, be understaffed because I am allowing staff to make their own decision about staying home or not. Tropical storms are too serious to demand everyone must come in to work. So, stay safe, but if conditions are not too outrageous, we hope to see you in for dinner Wednesday night. _________________ August 3, 2010 A friend turned me on to this photo blog that is of images by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information. They are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color. ...Click here to see the photos...
