		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Being constantly bombarded with announcements of people&#8217;s engagements, marriages, and babies I started to ask myself, what the hell is wrong with everyone? I am tired of family members and friends asking me when I plan on getting hitched like there is something wrong with me for embracing my singlehood when these are the same people that complain about how much they hate their significant others to anyone who will listen.  Hardly any married person I know is happy, and those who seem to be are probably just pretending.   On the other hand, people who married for A LOT of money also despise their spouses, BUT they seem more relaxed, and complain with less venom, while sitting in their italian villas. When responding with &#8220;never&#8221; or &#8220;no time soon&#8221; these peoples expressions change from questioning to sympathetic to an insulting insinuation that is that negative attitude which makes you unmarryable.  Contrary to popular belief, there are actually women in this world who do not dedicate their entire college education to finding a MRS degree, and are not the slightest bit concerned that they do not have 3 kids before they are 30. I am obviously one of these women, as is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New Orleans-based band Coyotes have me drooling over their barroom sing-along-style Americana. The heady cacaphone of folk rhythms, ghostly horns and Duz Mancini&#8217;s raspy croon make me want to throw my arms around my best pals and sway to the music in a whiskey haze &#8211; they are the burn of a bourbon shot with a fizzy beer back, the soundtrack of a rollicking good time winding into the wee hours of the morning. If I sound infatuated, it&#8217;s because I am. Coyotes got their start in Los Angeles a couple years back before finding their way to New Orleans, which they now call home, and will be releasing their debut album Cosmic in the Badlands on January 25th during their opening show for The Features at One Eyed Jack&#8217;s. Get a taste of their sound and vibe on their Kickstarter site, where you can pre-order their album, and also on their band website where you can listen to five live recordings. Be sure to come out for one of their upcoming shows in town and bask in their fine contribution to our rad local music scene. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Every year for the past several years, I reprise my role as the Grinch who stole Christmas beginning the day after Thanksgiving. It seems as though every year the Christmas preparations start earlier and earlier with the window displays in stores, the Black Friday sales, and the carols on every radio station. I have nothing against Christmas (starting the week of), but this month long madness not only annoys me it stresses me out.  I can&#8217;t help but wish I was a kid again, because like everything else in our lives at that time things were simpler, and well&#8230;.Christmas was much cooler. 5. You still believed in the &#8220;magic&#8221; of Christmas. You spent the whole month of December careful not to misbehave, because &#8220;he see&#8217;s you when you&#8217;re sleeping, he knows when you&#8217;re awake&#8230;&#8221; now the only person who can say that is your crazy ex boyfriend that shows up at your house uninvited, and the only thing stopping me from misbehaving now is the fear of a stage 5 hangover or a night in OPP. I was probably robbed of my &#8220;childhood beliefs&#8221; earlier than most having two much older siblings and a mother that had to take credit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being raised in a densely populated Jewish community and having mostly Jewish friends growing up most people just assumed I also was of Jewish decent. My large nose and Jew-fro probably didn&#8217;t help me convince these people otherwise, nor did the fact that our fridge was always filled with lox and bagels, my mom cooked potato latkes during Hanukkah, and the star on the top of our Christmas tree bared a striking resemblance to the Star of David. The only hotdogs I ever had as a kid were Hebrew Nationals, I knew all the words to the Jewish prayer &#8220;Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu &#8230;&#8221; and there were more Jews at our annual Christmas Eve party than non. After years of disputing these allegations and wearing the biggest cross necklace I could find everyday to High School, when I was 18 and left home to attend college at the University of Tennessee I felt oddly out of place with none of &#8220;my people&#8221; around. We didn&#8217;t get out of class for Rosh Hoshana or Yom Kippur and when I verbalized these complaints to my friends no one knew what I was talking about. Looking back on my childhood I thought my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pork banh mi with pickled mirliton salad, goat tacos with cilantro harissa and mirliton relish, housemade ginger beer, and crab salad sandwich topped with mirliton frites – if these delicacies (recent offerings at last month’s Mirliton Fest – hence the abundance of our favorite squash) are any indication of what’s to come at the soon-to-open Maurepas Foods, I think we can safely assume this restaurant will be a hit. Set to open as a full-service restaurant at the corner of Louisa and Burgundy Streets in Bywater, Michael Doyle is Maurepas Foods’ owner and will be the head honcho of the kitchen, bringing with him years of experience as Sous Chef at the beloved Uptown fixture, Dante’s Kitchen.  Doyle and the folks at Maurepas Foods have been keeping local food lovers and neighbors alike up to date via Facebook, making mouths water with anticipation with each alert of progress.  The Maurepas Foods team has been lovingly renovating their new home for months, transforming a long-abandoned space; now adorned with large plate-glass windows and painted light green, this once-eyesore now presents an inviting façade.  Developing the menu as they complete the renovations, the new restaurant will be working with local farmers to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meet Micah: The only thing worse than terminal cancer, is a child suffering from it. 12 year old Micah Roshell is so much more than a pediatric hospital patient. He is a little boy with a big smile, huge heart, love for the Saints and his friend Drew Brees, huge family, and an illness that hinders his huge personality by confining him (most days) to a hospital bed. I first met Micah and his mother Valetta, who I now know as Ms.Val, at the Hope Lodge New Orleans where they stay while he receives treatment. As a regular volunteer there cooking meals for the patients and their families with my organization the WGIRLS NOLA since 2009, I had seen Ms. Val at the Lodge many times before I realized she was not an employee there. She was always racing around the Lodge assisting other families, getting them acclimated, directing volunteers, and often times organizing the activities that happen there. It never occurred to me that she, who seemed so comfortable there and put all of her energy into making everyone else comfortable, was that way because she had unfortunately already been there for far too long. It wasn&#8217;t until several [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Haute &#38; Homemade: A Showcase of Southern Contemporary Couture Featuring Alabama Chanin will be presented at the Ogden Museum tonight.  Showcasing the work of six local designers in addition to Alabama Chanin, this fashion show celebrates the distinct style of Southern couture design and, simultaneously, the craft of fabrication. Natalie Chanin, the designer behind Alabama Chanin, has been recognized internationally for her elegantly rustic work.  A proponent of sustainable fashion, Chanin hand-sews all of her designs and employs only locally. The other designers sharing the runway each bring unique styles; in particular, keep an eye out for: Lorna Leedy: this Marfa-based designer is a Jazz Fest staple.  Her designs are funky without being fussy – colorful, fun, and decidedly different.  Her most recognizable pieces feature a spread eagle stitched across the shoulders of cowboy-style button-down shirts and jackets, but each of her designs are a work of art. Amanda Deleon: Deleon’s work is whimsical yet minimalistic, featuring clean lines with beautiful details and accents. Kerry Fitts: the self-styled “Southern Gothic” designs of Fitts are appropriately feminine but a little rough around the edges (in a very good way).  Applied layers of tattered lace adorn many pieces, giving her look an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember my first Thanksgiving in New Orleans like it was yesterday: still in my early twenties, I felt funny about not travelling home to feast with my family and a bit adrift in my newly adopted home.  But it only took, oh, 5 minutes within my entrance to my first New Orleans Thanksgiving party that any trace of homesickness dissipated and I embraced my new New Orleans clan. Now, several years later, a well-established schedule presides over my Thanksgiving, easily making it my favorite holiday: Our morning starts with a jaunt Uptown to our friend’s annual “Dude, Where’s My Turkey?” breakfast extravaganza, where we nosh on waffles, breakfast casseroles, bacon, and mimosas.  If we’re really on the ball, we bring the show-stealing fresh-squeezed bloody mary juice (see the recipe below), which really gets festivities started with its garlicy punch and jalapeno kick: nothing says “Thank ya!” like a shot of vodka and some fresh vegetable juice before ten in the morning! Once everyone has laid a solid foundation at our morning repast, all of the party-goers depart for the races, ladies in their finest Race Day hats and get-ups, gents in costumes vaguely recalling suits.  The New Orleans Fairgrounds [...]]]></description>
