Red Stick Farmers Market

Leave a reply

The alarm sounds @ 5:30 am!  I smell coffee and that helps a little.  A cup of coffee later consciousness begins and I realize it’s time for a shower.  By 7:30 we’re pulling out of the driveway heading for a farmers market — today is Saturday!

No matter where we are, we look for a Farmers Market to shop.  Most frequently we are in the Baton Rouge, LA area and the Red Stick Farmers Market is our shopping experience.  Our purchases from a typical farmers market makes up the majority of our weekly groceries.

Grab your basket and let’s go shopping!

HOT!

It’s summer, it’s New Orleans, it’s HOT!

Hot describes the last few weeks in south Louisiana.  Okay so it is nothing out of the ordinary, it is still HOT!  Some people may believe Southerns stay in the air conditioning and sip mint juleps – not so.  We go out in the heat, dance, eat and enjoy festivals.  The weekend of June 11th was the Vieux To Do Festival in New Orleans.  Vieux To Do is three festivals in one – Cajun/Zydeco Music, Creole Tomato, and Seafood.

In Honor of Vieux To Do: Shrimp, Creole Tomato, & Zydeco

Leave a reply

“Vieux To Do” is this weekend in the French Quarter in New Orleans, LA.  This festival is three in one: Creole Tomato, Cajun Zydeco Music, and Seafood Festivals.  To get ourselves ready to eat, drink, dance and thoroughly enjoy the heat we prepared a shrimp dish along with a creole tomato salad.  We played Zydeco music, opened a favorite bottle of wine and Zydecoed as we cooked.  Recipes posted on RV Cajun Cooking.  Join us as we enjoy the bounty South Louisiana offers…

After cooking and practicing our Zydeco dancing in the kitchen – we are ready for the Vieux To Do.  Join us at the NOLA Trifecta!

The “Mighty Mississippi” just keeps rolling along and rising.

Living five houses from the levee, we wanted to put some distance between our house and our RV. We headed to Tickfaw State Park which would allow us to commute to work and be high and dry. At least as high as Louisiana will allow. Having been to Tickfaw in October 2010 and blogged about the trip we were not sure what we would blog about this time. Never underestimate new finds in old locations.
