NATIONAL BUBBLE BATH DAY
On a cold winter's day, relaxing in a nice warm/hot bubble bath sounds like the perfect way to commemorate National Bubble Bath Day. Is it no wonder we celebrate it annually on January 8th?
The bubbles on top of the water (also known as foam bath or foaming bath) insulate the bathwater, keeping it warmer for a more extended period.
- Children find bubble baths fun and enjoy playing with the bubbles, which entice them to take their baths.
- Some bubble bath, bath foam, or foaming bath serves a dual purpose and can also be used to wash skin or hair.
- Bath foam preparations may be in the form of a liquid, gel, or solids in the form of powders, grains, or tablets.
According to the AC Nielsen Data, Mr. Bubble is the #1 brand of bath products in the United States, and in 2011 it celebrated its 50th birthday. Mr. Bubble is a brand of bath products made by The Village Company.
The brand’s slogan is “Makes Getting Clean Almost as Much Fun as Getting Dirty!”
In 1961, Mr. Harold Schafer and the Gold Seal Company of North Dakota, USA, founded Mr. Bubble. The Gold Seal company manufactured and distributed Mr. Bubble until 1986 when the company was sold. Over time, Mr. Bubble bubble bath products have been reformulated. They are tear-free, dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and pediatrician tested. Mr. Bubble TV show appearances include:
- Family Guy
- The Simpsons
- 1983 Eddie Murphy Delirious
- 1987 Gold Through the Fire
- 1996 Ed (starring Matt LeBlanc)
- Everybody Loves Raymond (Season 3)

NEW ORLEANS King Cake Drive-Thru will offer a curated selection of Greater New Orleans’ king cakes at your convenience throughout the Mardi Gras season. It will be located at Duckworth Tires’ parking lot, 1009 Metairie Rd., Metairie, Louisiana, 70005.
Chicago-born transplant to New Orleans, Mike Graves, owner of bof bars, a local novelty ice cream company, came up with this idea with his fiancée.
“If New Orleans can do drive-thru daiquiris, it surely can do a King Cake Drive-Thru,” says Graves.
As the 2024 Carnival season drew closer, plans began to form over the holidays, and King Cake Drive-Thru was born. Metairie was chosen specifically to hopefully provide a willing neighborhood accessibility to many different bakeries across the Greater New Orleans area.
A community driven business, King Cake Drive-Thru is not just for the well-known bakery names but also a platform for businesses without their own store-front, as well as up-and-coming bakers.
Expect king cakes from local favorites such as Gambino’s, Brennan’s, Gracious Bakery and Bittersweet Confections. Other lesser known but equally delicious king cakes include Clesi’s Crawfish King Cakes, Empanola’s Guava Cream Cheese King Cakes, Kimi Bakes King Cake Cream Puffs, Vietnamese Doughnguyener’s King Cakes and so much more for the weekly rotating menu.
Other convenience items will be offered such as a party pack complete with plates, napkins, utensils and a king cake knife for on-the-go use.
Graves emphasizes, “Keep your kids in the car. Don’t worry about parking. Pull up and head out. You can grab a favorite or snag a new king cake on the way to the office or on the way home for the family.”
Plans for another King Cake Drive-Thru pop-up location in Houston, Texas is in the works for later in the Mardi Gras season.
Dates/Times:
King Cake Drive-Thru will begin operations on King’s Day, Jan. 6, at 7 a.m. (1009 Metairie Road, Metairie, Louisiana, 70005).
Hours of operation are Friday thru Sunday from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. (or until sold out) throughout the Mardi Gras season.
To keep up with the weekly rotating menu, follow King Cake Drive-Thru via @kingcakedrivethru (Instagram), @kingcakedrivethru (Tiktok), and ‘King Cake Drive-Thru’ (Facebook).

Acquistapace’s Queen Cake Marries Two Louisiana Delicacies in One Amazing Cake
POSTED BY: KATY
South Louisiana is known for a wide variety of delicious food: muffalettas, boiled crawfish, grilled oysters, po boys of all varieties, and more. This time of year, however, we are generally focused on just one of our favorites: king cake! (we will soon flip over to crawfish). Long-time, family-owned grocery store, Acquistapace’s in Covington has taken our king cake obsession, swirled it with another south Louisiana favored food and come up with one delicious result: The Queen Cake.
Queen Cake is similar to a berry chantilly cake. It has strawberries and mascarpone cream cheese sandwiched between layers of cake and then it’s topped with even more berries, more mascarpone and whipped cream. In stead of vanilla cake, however, this one features king cake! There are hints of cinnamon throughout the cake and granulated sugar is sprinkled on top.
It’s not surprising this treat is found at Acquistapace’s deep in the heart of Covington. Acquistapace’s has been part of the Covington community since 1963 and they know what their audience likes! They are probably best known for their beer, wine, and spirits selection, but they have a few other tricks up their sleeve–like this cake! Personally I love their meat prices and am sure to pick something up whenever I’m in the neighborhood. As a family-owned grocery store with deep roots in the community, they know what their customers like! This time of year you can find their store full of their king cakes but also full of king cakes from all over the area including a number of bakery cakes produced on the south shore like Caluda’s and Haydel’s.
So go ahead and do yourself a favor before the season is over–run over to Acquistapaces and pick up a Queen’s Cake. That little taste of strawberry will have you ready for spring!
Do you love king cake? We have a guide to all the king cake on the Northshore right here.

Fourth Quarter Pushes LSU Past Ole Miss, 84-73
OXFORD, Miss. — Mikaylah Williams paced LSU with 20 points to lead the Tigers to a win in their first road SEC game of the year at Ole Miss, 84-73, in the SJB Pavilion saw a record 9,074 on hand at Sunday’s game.
That’s an Ole Miss program record for attendance and a new record for the SJB Pavilion which opened eight years ago.
“Other than Mikaylah being a freshman, most of them are experienced players,” Coach Kim Mulkey said about the team’s ability to handle the large crowd. “They view that crowd as their crowd. That’s what competitors do. That crowd came to see us. When you have that mindset, the louder it gets you kind of block it out.”
LSU had all five starters in double figures to total for 83 of the Tigers’ 84 points. The Tiger’s 8 three-pointers matched a season high, LSU had 8 against Jacksonville in December.
Williams was hot all afternoon with 20 points on 7-12 from the field and 4-5 from the three-point line. The freshman’s performance marked the 12th time this season she has reached double figures. She added 7 rebounds and 4 steals as she lit up the highlight reel.
“I don’t view her as a freshman,” Coach Mulkey said of Williams. “She just has a college ready body, a mindset, and confidence.”
The duo down low of Angel Reese and Aneesah Morrow combined for 34 points and 17 rebounds. Reese finished with 21 points, 4 assists, and 9 boards while Morrow scored 13 and hauled in 8 rebounds.
Hailey Van Lith and Flau’Jae Johns rounded out the five to break double digits. Johnson dropped 16 as she also continued to improve on defense. Van Lith found success shooting the ball with 13 points on 5-11 from the field, the transfer also added 43 assists and a pair of triples.
The Rebels’ Marquesha Davis led all players with 24 points on 10-14 from the field and 7 rebounds. Madison Scott and Snudda Collins were the only other scorers to reach double figures scoring 13 and 12, respectively.
LSU ended the afternoon 47-percent from the field compared to Ole Miss’ 40-percent. The Tigers won the rebound battle 44-36 despite being outscored 36-28 inside the paint. LSU went 8-13 for 62-percent from deep and Ole Miss went 3-11 for 27-percent. There were 4 lead changes and Ole Miss held the lead for just 2:38.
The Tigers will return home on Thursday to face the Aggies of Texas A&M at 7 p.m. CT inside the PMAC. LSU will then travel to Auburn on Sunday for a 2:00 p.m. tip on ESPN.

Short-lived insect
What does "ephemeron" mean?
Short-lived insect
ephemeron Pronunciation: ɪˈfɛmərɒn
Definition: A noun referring to an insect that is short-lived.
Origin: The word "ephemeron" comes from the Greek word "ephēmeron," which means "lasting only a day." It is derived from the Greek words "epi" meaning "on" and "hēmera" meaning "day."
Example: The beauty of a blooming flower is an ephemeron, captivating us for just a brief moment before it withers away.
"Ephemeron" means an insect that is short-lived. These insects, also known as mayflies, are characterized by their brief lifespan, typically lasting only a few hours or days as adults. Despite their fleeting existence, ephemera play a vital role in the ecosystem, serving as a source of food for other creatures and contributing to nutrient cycling in aquatic environments. Their short-lived nature has inspired the term "ephemeron" to describe anything that is transitory or ephemeral, emphasizing the fleeting nature of its existence.

Understanding Dialects and Languages
When we think about how we communicate, the first thing that comes to mind is language. It's the tool that allows us to share our thoughts, ideas, and emotions with others. However, within the realm of language, there are also dialects, which can significantly change how we understand and use a given language. In this blog post, we will delve into the fascinating world of dialects and languages, exploring their similarities, differences, and the gray areas in between.
What is a Language?
Let's start with the basics. A language is a complex system of communication that uses symbols – in most cases, words – in a structured and conventional way. Languages allow us to express abstract thoughts and to convey information, and they typically include a set vocabulary and rules for grammar and syntax.
Currently, there are estimated to be over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today. These languages can vary significantly from one another, with differences in sound, grammar, vocabulary, and even in the way they convey information. For example, English and Mandarin Chinese do not just differ in their words and sounds, but also in how they convey ideas and structure sentences.
What is a Dialect?
Now that we've defined language, let's move on to dialects. A dialect is a variation of a language that is specific to a certain region or group of people. It includes variations in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and syntax, and can sometimes be so different from the standard form of the language that it may be difficult for people from different regions to understand each other.
For instance, English is spoken in many parts of the world, but the dialect of English spoken in Scotland can be quite different from the English spoken in the United States, to the point where a speaker of one may struggle to understand the other.

NATIONAL ENGLISH TOFFEE DAY
On January 8th, National English Toffee Day celebrates a favored confection that's been enjoyed across the country for generations. This sweet treat comes with some confusion concerning the difference between English toffee and just plain toffee. Despite the confusion, it's an enjoyable confection no matter how you crack it.
Some say that English toffee is a harder candy than the American version. Others say that it's the other way around. Some say the Americans add nuts, but the toffee in the United Kingdom doesn't have nuts. Either way, this hard, sometimes chewy candy is made by caramelizing sugar.The Heath bar is a type of candy bar made with an English toffee core. It is sometimes enrobed in chocolate and topped with nuts.
There is one significant difference between British toffee and American toffee, however; the British make toffee with only brown sugar, not white. And while they typically do not add nuts, they will add a layer of chocolate. Don't hesitate to try dark, milk or white chocolate with English toffee. All varieties add a different texture and flavor.
Both the American and British versions are enjoyed all year long, though.

The explorer spent most of her career climbing the Himalayas. One of her most notable achievements includes being the first woman to exceed 23,300 feet when she climbed Pinnacle Peak.
Elvis Presley - 1935
Known as the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Presley gained fame in 1955 with his first number 1 hit sing, "Heartbreak Hotel." Before long, he was cast in his first film, Love Me Tender. Then, after serving in the Army, Elvis' music career rocketed off the charts.
Stephen Hawking - 1942
The theoretical physicist redefined the way we think about the universe. Even with the devastating diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Hawking proceeded to redefine the Big Bang theory or rather bring it into focus. He also further studied and defined black holes. In addition, Hawking published several books, including The Theory of Everything and A Brief History of Time.
David Bowie - 1947
Born David Robert Jones, the English singer-songwriter gained popularity with his first hit song "Space Oddity" in 1969. Bowie also starred in several films including Labyrinth, The Prestige, and The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Crazy! We are ending the first full week in January already. Time is moving right along.

Dialects vs. Languages: Understanding the Differences
Understanding Dialects and Languages
When we think about how we communicate, the first thing that comes to mind is language. It's the tool that allows us to share our thoughts, ideas, and emotions with others. However, within the realm of language, there are also dialects, which can significantly change how we understand and use a given language. In this blog post, we will delve into the fascinating world of dialects and languages, exploring their similarities, differences, and the gray areas in between.
What is a Language?
Let's start with the basics. A language is a complex system of communication that uses symbols – in most cases, words – in a structured and conventional way. Languages allow us to express abstract thoughts and to convey information, and they typically include a set vocabulary and rules for grammar and syntax.
Currently, there are estimated to be over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today. These languages can vary significantly from one another, with differences in sound, grammar, vocabulary, and even in the way they convey information. For example, English and Mandarin Chinese do not just differ in their words and sounds, but also in how they convey ideas and structure sentences.
What is a Dialect?
Now that we've defined language, let's move on to dialects. A dialect is a variation of a language that is specific to a certain region or group of people. It includes variations in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and syntax, and can sometimes be so different from the standard form of the language that it may be difficult for people from different regions to understand each other.
For instance, English is spoken in many parts of the world, but the dialect of English spoken in Scotland can be quite different from the English spoken in the United States, to the point where a speaker of one may struggle to understand the other.
The Fine Line Between Dialects and Languages
So, we have our definitions, but in practice, the line between a dialect and a language can often be blurred. The saying goes, "A language is a dialect with an army and a navy," implying that political and cultural factors often play a significant role in determining what gets classified as a language versus a dialect.
Consider Chinese, for instance. Mandarin and Cantonese are often referred to as dialects of Chinese, but they are so different from each other that a speaker of Mandarin would not understand Cantonese, and vice versa. They have different vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, to the point that they could be considered separate languages. However, because they share a common written system and cultural identity, they are often classified as dialects of a single Chinese language.
The Importance of Understanding the Difference
Understanding the difference between dialects and languages is more than just an academic exercise. It can have real-world implications in fields like education, law, and social policy. For instance, recognizing a variety of speech as a dialect rather than a separate language can impact how it's taught in schools, how its speakers are represented in the media, and how they are treated by the legal system.
On a more personal level, understanding this difference can help us better appreciate the rich diversity of human language. Every dialect represents a unique history, culture, and way of thinking, and recognizing this can help us better understand and respect our own linguistic heritage, as well as that of others.
In conclusion, while languages and dialects are both systems of communication, they differ in their scope and usage. A language is a broad system that allows for communication and expression, while a dialect is a regional or cultural variation of a language. However, the line between the two can be blurred, and often depends on social, political and cultural factors, rather than purely linguistic ones. By understanding these differences, we can better appreciate the rich tapestry of human communication, and the role that both languages and dialects play in our world.

Canal Street - New Orleans
So much to take in, in this picture
On the left appears to be two chauffeurs waiting for their rich bosses. The owners of these vehicles clearly have no need for the streetcars
The next tier of people, seen walking by the streetcars are dressed nicely and probably use the streetcars everyday. It’s part of their life.
The city of New Orleans is booming

City of New Orleans Encourages Residents to Participate in the Annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program to Rebuild Wetlands
NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today reminded residents of the annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program to restore our wetlands. For over 25 years, this program has contributed to the restoration of the Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge, while preventing them from being placed in landfills. The trees also create an important habitat for birds, fish, crabs, crawfish and shrimp.
"Every year, our Christmas trees bring light and happiness into our homes, but their significance goes far beyond spreading holiday joy," said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. "Recycling and placing these trees along our eroding coastline to help rebuild our wetlands will assist in the effort to protect our great city and state for generations to come. This robust tree recycling program is another example of how New Orleans will continue to lead in combatting the global climate crisis while promoting innovative opportunities to create a better, greener and more vibrant community. So far, recycled trees have restored an area of marsh equal to approximately 200 football fields. Thank you to our residents who continue to donate their Christmas trees year after year to enhance our coastline restoration efforts."
The program is coordinated by the City's Office of Resilience and Sustainability (ORS) and Department of Sanitation, in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Louisiana National Guard.
“We’re bringing attention to the Christmas Tree Recycling Program today because Black Friday and Small Business Saturday are popular days for New Orleanians to buy and decorate live Christmas trees,” said Director of Economic Development Jeff Schwartz. “The City can only accept trees without tinsel and flocking, and we ask residents to please consider this while decorating your tree.”
“While we are making great progress, protecting our natural resources remains more important than ever for New Orleans,” said ORS Deputy Chief Resilience Officer Greg Nichols. "The Christmas Tree Recycling Program is a great way for residents to get involved in the fight to restore our coast.”
Residents are encouraged to place their trees curbside for collection by Department of Sanitation contractors from Jan. 8 - 12, 2024. Trees cannot be flocked, and all ornamentation must be removed before placing them on the curb. Once they are collected, they will be sorted, bundled and airlifted by helicopter and dropped in targeted sections of the Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge. The City’s goal is to collect 10,000 trees this year.
“The annual Christmas Tree Drop represents a long-standing partnership between the Louisiana National Guard and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service," said Louisiana National Guard, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Gabriel Ruiz. "It benefits the City of New Orleans and surrounding coastal environment, while also providing valuable training hours for our pilots and crewmembers of the 1st Assault Helicopter Battalion, 244th Aviation Regiment."
“I’d like to thank the residents of New Orleans for sharing their Christmas trees with us each year and making their contribution to coastal restoration," said USFWS Refuge Manager Shelley Stiaes. "Their tradition of donating Christmas trees is helping to rebuild our coastline and build habitat for wildlife."

After you enjoy your Christmas tree this holiday season, recycle it at Middendorf's Manchac!
We're collecting trees to help with Southeastern Louisiana University's Manchac Wetlands Restoration Project. If you recycle your tree with us, you could also win a $50 gift card!
To enter the drawing, please drop-off your tree at Middendorf's Manchac during regular business hours (Wed-Sun, 10:30am-9:00pm) beginning on January 4. After you drop-off your tree, come inside to the hostess stand to enter to win. We'll collect trees through the end of Mardi Gras, and the drawing will be held on February 14. If you're not interested in the drawing, you can drop-off your tree anytime.
And one more thing.. Trees cannot be flocked or have any decorations, stands, nails/screws, etc. Thank you for helping the Manchac Wetlands!

Barbara S. Beckman Music Room, 520 Royal Street
Free admission and no RSVP required
Join THNOC staff for a short program exploring the history of the beautifully restored Aeolian residential player pipe organ. Listen to a musical demonstration and discover the significance of this rare and technologically advanced musical instrument.
In the early 20th century, having a player organ in the home was a luxury reserved for the most opulent residences, allowing the owner to have access to recorded music before radios and phonographs were commonplace. Tobacco magnate William Ratcliffe Irby remodeled the property at 520 Royal Street—now part of THNOC’s exhibition center—to serve as his personal residence starting in 1918. In the process he installed a player organ in the entry room to his lavish third-floor apartment. The instrument, built by the Aeolian Company of New York, is one of a handful that has survived to this day in its original location and in working condition, after a meticulous restoration by the Holtkamp Organ Company.

Friday Night Wine School, Disco Liquids
January 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Disco Liquids is a new wholesaler in town that has dedicated its entire portfolio to natural, minimal-intervention wines. While there is no official or regulated definition of natural wine, think of it as the unfiltered, untamed, unphotoshopped version of what we know to be wine. What you can usually count on is that the grapes are hand-picked from sustainable, organic, or biodynamic vineyards. In terms of production, the wine is fermented with no added yeast (ie. native yeasts), no additives are included in fermentation (yeast nutrients, etc) and little or no sulfites are added.
I'll be honest, there is a lot of weird, funky, flawed natural wines out there but if you take the time to find them, there are some great, balanced, delicious expressions. And we've done just that with DJ Piazza, owner/founder of Disco Liquids. He will join us this evening for 5 super fun wines that are near and dear to us from Italy and France. Come check it out! Reserve your spots here, Disco Liquids

Professor Carl Nivale
Welcoming the new marching krewe, Krewe Mosaïque! They have their first parade on January 13th, from Armstrong Park to Ursuline Convent. Your favorite Professor and Grand Marshal Marty Graw look forward to being there!
#Carnival2024 #MardiGras2024 #OurCarnivalHeritage #krewemosaique
https://www.axios.com/.../new-krewe-mardi-gras-parade...
A new walking krewe will debut for Mardi Gras 2024, marching through the French Quarter on Jan. 13.
Why it matters: The event fills in an otherwise parade-free weekend during the weekslong celebration of Carnival in New Orleans.
What's happening: Krewe Mosaïque will march for 12 blocks from Armstrong Park to the Ursuline Convent for the first time.
- This year's krewe will max out at 200 members, and organizers are putting an emphasis on DIY elements, handmade throws and cultural or historical relevance to the city.
- The idea stems from the krewe's founding members preference for DIY costuming and contraption-building.
What she's saying: "Everything is bright and colorful and very unique unto themselves, but when we come together, it's this beautiful experience, like a mosaic," says Krewe Mosaïque founder Terese Aiello.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.
