The Roadfood Festival in New Orleans This Weekend

This is the first time I am learning about Roadfood Festival. So, I can't tell you about the Festiival, except the information that has been presented by the Festival itself. I included information from their website...Roadfood.com.

Listen, if its' food and its' New Orleans..It will be another wonderful Festival.

We will think up all kinds of excuses to have a gathering of people to eat, drink and make merry.

The New Orleans Roadfood Festival kicks off with a true Roadfood party
featuring the best barbecue from Alabama, Camp Washington Cincinnati
chili, cracklin's from Cajun country, all the shrimp and oysters you
can eat, an open bar, KJoe's celebrated Creole bread pudding, and
pralines made on the spot.

The highlight of the party will be the presentation of the first annual Roadfood Blue Plate Award to Anthony and Gail Uglesich, who made their longstanding family cafe into a beacon that attracted culinary pilgrims to New Orleans from around the
world.

It all takes place in a French Quarter setting outsiders rarely
get to experience: the historic Boucvalt House, a three-story Greek
Revival home built in 1841, now meticulously restored to antebellum grandeur.

This event is sold out, but the rest of the events still have openings.

Here is how it all started:
Roadfood.com was conceived in 2000 as a website devoted to finding the most memorable local eateries along the highways and back roads of America. The entire Roadfood Team has contributed thousands of hours of their personal time to create and enhance Roadfood.com so that you, the user, can enjoy the many features of the site. Unlike many dotcom ventures, Roadfood.com is an entirely volunteer effort launched with no expectation of ever making money.

It's Our Birthday Get Busy

What? You Thought We Were in Our Forties

Actually, We are only 1 year old. On March 11, We are celebrating our First Birthday at Le Boulevard Marketplace. It seems like yesterday when Marque Ann and I huddled together and decided that this would be our next adventure.
We have survived hurricanes together, we have visited Sedona together, we have danced in the French Quarter with strange men together (No, I am not sharing that story, let your imagination run wild).
Then our friend Ann joined us and it became the 3 Musketeers.

So what better way to celebrate than to throw a party with all our friends at Le Boulevard Marketplace. The other day I walked around and looked on with amazement at all the wonderful vendors who have been drawn to Le Boulevard Marketplace.

When you think about it, it really is a miracle that a ugly K & B building has been transformed into a wonderland of local talent with artists, handmade jewelry, furniture, antiques, pottery, lamps, handmade candles, draperies and the list goes on and on.

The adventure will continue on Thursday night with champagne and yummy food made by someone else ( yes, I hear the sigh of relief).
In our boutique, there will special prices on all the jewelry...50% off. Don't tell my husband, I like him to think that I always make a profit. There are some wonderful glass art pieces by Paulette Lizano, that I know you will want to buy to add to your collection.

So mark the date, Thursday, March 11 6-9PM and come visit, Marque Ann and I may show you some of our dance moves.
