Tweet It seemed charming to keep the vintage GE ovens from 1975 until about an hour ago. The previous owner still had all the pans and rotisserie acoutrements, and I hoped they would continue to plug away, just like my Aunt Sylvia’s are. I’m happy to report that the black smoke billowing out of the […]
Tweet This is a terrific video explaining the insane festival of St Paddy’s Day that happens in my home town every year. As you also know, I have been posting a lot about children’s television programming lately, and this coincides with the Jim Henson exhibit at the Mississippi Museum of Art. Kermit was the co […]

Tweet …we’ve been very busy, and it’s not likely to stop! We had a great vacation and are getting ready for fall and a new home. I will be keeping you informed mostly through my tweets, or the Alexandra Out and About section you see there in the right sidebar. Thanks for keeping up with […]
Tweet It’s been wicked hot here in the hood lately. And don’t say “you don’t know hot, living in LA”, because I DO know hot. I have lived in NEW ORLEANS and TUCSON for pete’s sake, so I know hot, and it has been hot. The thing about hot here is that no one has […]
Tweet New Orleans is just being realistic. The guys at Storyville think this might be the ticket to bontemps roulez! “New Orleans will elect a new mayor on April 22, 2010, and the Brad Pitt for Mayor Campaign Steering Committee is asking you to vote for Brad Pitt.
