NATIONAL COMPLIMENT DAY
National Compliment Day on January 24th offers a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day or to give credit for a job well done! Give an extra compliment annually on January 24th and any time one is deserved.
A compliment has a powerful effect. It can instill confidence in a child, or validate someone’s hard work. A compliment not only improves the receiver’s mood, but it also says something about the giver. It tells them you noticed. Whether we recognize someone’s achievement or their classic style, a compliment can go a long way.
To give a great compliment, first be sincere. People have a way of knowing when we are fake. If you don’t mean it, it’s worse than getting a thoughtless birthday gift.
Complimenting character versus a new haircut are different rewards. The first says you respect the person and the other tells them you paid attention. Sometimes the receiver needs to hear one or the other, or both.
Human beings like to be unique, original. Strive to give a compliment about what makes a person stand out above the rest. Take the time to reflect on what you admire about the person.

Temperatures will stay chilly in the 50s on Monday. Skies will be partly cloudy, and rain chances return later in the day. A few isolated showers are possible in the afternoon, then more scattered rain arrives in the evening. Widespread shower activity will stick around Monday night.
Showers will come to an end Tuesday morning, and lows will be a bit milder in the 40s.
Tuesday afternoon will be partly sunny and chilly in the middle and upper 50s. A front will make a dry passage later in the day. That front will make it a few degrees cooler Wednesday when highs will mainly be in the low 50s. Wednesday night, a light freeze is possible on the Northshore once again.
Another chance for rain arrives Friday, but overall rain chances look low at this time. However, behind that system, it could get very cold again with freezes possible Saturday morning.

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans Department of Public Works' Parking and Towing Divisions today announced that changes to parking enforcement for vehicles with mobility impaired parking credentials will begin Monday, Jan. 24, 2022.
Following recommendation from the New Orleans Office of Inspector General, the Parking Division will begin fully enforcing Section 154-874 Restricted Areas of Parking Spaces for Registered Vehicles with Disabilities., and Section 154-1093 Use by Mobility Impaired/Disabilities, specifically that motor vehicles bearing special parking credentials for mobility impaired persons or persons with disabilities may be parked for a period of up to three hours without payment, regardless of meter fares otherwise applicable to the parking space.
Motor vehicles parked at these metered locations will now be required to provide proof of payment to a meter after three hours by displaying a receipt from the pay station/meter on the dashboard of the vehicle, or by using the Park Mobile Payment App. Failure to supply this information will result in a parking citation.
Standard parking enforcement protocol includes regulating parking meters, ticket writing, towing and vehicle booting. Parking Enforcement can be requested 24/7 by calling (504) 658-8100.
Motor vehicles bearing special parking credentials for mobility impaired persons or persons with disabilities may currently park for a period of up to three hours without payment, regardless of meter fares otherwise applicable to the parking space, as long as the vehicle meets all other parking requirements. Residents are reminded to reference the Parking 101 guide from the City’s Parking Division to avoid citations and ensure that their vehicle is parked safely.

NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER DAY
National Peanut Butter Day on January 24th recognizes an American staple in our pantries. Whether creamy or chunky, with chocolate or with jelly, peanut butter gets the recognition it deserves each year on this day.
The early peanut butter made by the Aztecs and Incas around 1000 BC was more of a paste and not nearly as creamy as the peanut butter we know now.
Peanut butter didn’t become widely used until the 20th century. First, the peanut had to be considered more than animal feed, which wasn’t until the late 1800s. At the turn of the century, inventions that made planting, cultivating, and harvesting the legume (the peanut isn’t a nut at all) made it possible to see the peanut as a retail and wholesale food item.
Peanut butter is a good source of vitamin E, B6, niacin, calcium, potassium and iron, is packed with protein and is rich in healthy monounsaturated fat.
Bringing Peanut Butter to the Masses
We can thank four men for the inventions and processes that bring us the creamy, smooth peanut butter we enjoy today: Marcus Gilmore Edson of Canada, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri, and chemist Joseph Rosefield.
In 1884, Edson developed a process to make peanut paste from milling roasted peanuts between two heated plates. The famous cereal maker and health food specialist of the time, Kellogg, patented a process with raw peanuts in 1895. Dr. Straub is responsible for patenting a peanut butter making machine in 1903.
Peanut butter was introduced to audiences at the 1904 Universal Exposition in St. Louis at C.H. Sumner’s concession stand.
But the man who brought us the peanut butter we know and love today was Joseph Rosefield. In 1922, through homogenization, Rosefield was able to keep peanut oil from separating from the peanut solids. He later sold the patent to a company that began making Peter Pan peanut butter. Rosefield then went into business for himself selling Skippy peanut butter through Rosefield Packing. He also supplied peanut butter for military rations during World War II.

BEER CAN APPRECIATION DAY
Beer Can Appreciation Day recognizes the great day in 1935 when beer was first sold in cans.
While Krueger Brewing Company of Richmond, Virginia sold the first beer in a can, American Can Company made drinkable canned beer possible. Krueger took the risk with the American Can Company just weeks before the repeal of Prohibition. Weighing in at 4 ounces, the hefty steel cans opened with a church key. Loyal Krueger’s drinkers favored the can over the bottle 9-1.
Click play and enjoy a story about National Beer Can Appreciation Day featuring our founder, Marlo Anderson. If you enjoy the 2-minute show, subscribe with your favorite podcast player.
Significant Dates in Beer Can History
- 1935 -Cone-Top – G. Heilemann Brewing Company – La Crosse, WI – Introduces cone-top cans that fit existing bottling lines convenient for small brewers with small budgets.
- 1963 -Pull Tab – Pittsburgh Brewing Company – Revolutionizes the beer can when it introduces Iron City Beer in self-opening cans with pull tabs, also known as pop tops. With their sharp edges, the pull tabs became the feared litter at beaches, parks, backyards, and anywhere beverages were consumed.
- 1975 – Stay Tab- Falls City Brewing Company of Louisville, KY introduces the Stay Tab removing the pull tab’s environmental impact.
This day provides people with the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the many different kinds of beer cans. Around the world, collectors seek rare, novel, and unique varieties. A collector may have hundreds of beer cans in many different sizes, types, and ages.

KING CAKE HUB 2022 LOCATIONS
Mid-City’s Zony Mash (3940 Thalia St) will host the main King Cake Hub location while The Gift Shop at Historic New Orleans Collection will host a pop-up second location
Jennifer Samuels, owner of the King Cake Hub, announced the retail King Cake shop will have two new locations for the 2022 Carnival season. The main King Cake Hub will share space with Zony Mash Beer Project. King Cake Hub will be located in the Broad facing portion of the building at 1464 S. Broad Street in New Orleans. Zony Mash is a brewery with a large creative selection of beers created in house. They also have tasting room with 21 brews on tap and being located in the historic Gem Theater they are also a destination for live entertainment. Zony Mash and King Cake Hub will be collaborating to release a special edition King Cake Stout beer
This will be King Cake Hub’s fourth year selling a wide assortment of the best king cakes you have ever and never tasted and will include new king cake offerings from several of our partner bakeries. Brennan’s is back this year with their Traditional and Pink Parade king cakes as well as a yet to be revealed “Special Release” filled king cake which all Coterie members will receive on January 6th. In addition to Brennan’s, NOCCA’s students are back in the kitchen working with Steve Himelfarb and the team from now shuttered Cake Cafe offering their hugely popular Goat Cheese Apple and new this year will be a Gluten and Dairy Free cake. Other returning partners are Caludas’s, Cannata’s, Caywood and Randazzo Bakery, Joe Gambino’s Bakery, Hi-Do Bakery, Bywater Bakery, Breads on Oak, Gracious, Bittersweet, Sugar Love and Big Boys Gooey Cakes will be back for season four!
The 2022 King Cake Coterie is on sale now with exciting new offerings and a discount for early shoppers. The Coterie is a King Cake of the Week Club featuring a different king cake each week. Brennan’s is launching Season 4 and then Cannata’s will be debuting a new Salted Caramel King Cake which is sure to be a hit. NOCCA, Bywater, Gracious, Gambino’s and Caluda’s will also be included. The Coterie makes a great holiday gift. In addition to the early bird discount the first 30 Subscribers will receive one of our amazing t-shirts by Studio Mundi!
This will be a bittersweet year as we mourn the loss of Will Samuels who had the crazy genius idea to bring all your favorite king cakes to one shop. Will’s wife and daughter will proudly and joyously continue the legacy which has delighted and overwhelmed king cake lovers for three years.
King Cake Hub will be open daily from 8:30am until 6:00pm beginning January 6 through Lundi Gras. Delivery will be available through Door Dash

The spirit of House Floats is DIY — amateur artists and professionals alike have been able to find solace and creativity with it after the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out regular gigs and brought sorrow to a city usually known for celebrating.
It began as somewhat of a joke after local resident Megan Boudreaux mused on social media about a way to keep Carnival going in the absence of parades last year.
But the idea swiftly took off and was embraced across the city as New Orleanians got to work to showcase their creativity from porches and balconies and yards.
As Coco Darrow, the lead artist and designer of Stronghold Studios, puts it, “it was a way to show the world we could still make lemonade out of lemons.”
What could have been a temporary tradition is now likely here to stay — even as the city prepares for a slightly-more-normal Carnival season this year and parades are expected to roll.
Stronghold Studios is filled with giant flowers, light-up “luna moths,” a giant sugar skull, cut-outs of local celebrities and other homages to New Orleans culture and beyond. The team of painters, carpenters and other producers will expand over the next several weeks as the studio ramps up production and prepares for a swell of custom orders.

About the Exhibition
You can feel it coming. A marching band cadence echoes from a mile away. Pounding drums and bright feathers flare from the Mardi Gras Indians just up the block. Months of painstaking glittering, marching, beadwork, and brushstrokes have led up to this moment, and you are ready to burst into the street. It’s Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
On January 6, 2022, The Historic New Orleans Collection’s Making Mardi Gras exhibition rambles its way into the museum's French Quarter galleries. This showstopping display invites visitors into the sprawling dens, late-night sewing sessions, and sweaty dance rehearsals where “The Greatest Free Show on Earth” is created and re-created each year among the city’s diverse communities. Explore the vibrant expression that only Carnival season can muster, as we meet up with 19th-century float artists, dawn-breaking skeleton gangs, and homebound house-float creators—stopping to admire costumes, royalty, and hand-painted coconuts.
This is the Mardi Gras that happens before we're watching, the Carnival that will wind through the city on Fat Tuesday, far from the intemperate Bourbon Street scene. Catch it before it passes.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World and Kern Studios.

About the Exhibition
Since 1872, revelers on Mardi Gras Day have danced to the tune “If Ever I Cease to Love” and waved to the self-proclaimed “King of Carnival” as the Rex parade wound its way through the city of New Orleans. To mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Rex, The Historic New Orleans Collection unveils Fit for a King, an exhibition showcasing jewels, favors, doubloons, float designs, and more from THNOC’s Rex-related holdings, which number in the thousands.
Presented in conjunction with the large-scale Making Mardi Gras exhibition at 520 Royal Street, Fit for a King is part of THNOC’s spring exploration of the creativity that Carnival season conjures.

Mardi Gras 2022 begins with fabulous foot parades: Chewbacchus, Krewe du Vieux, ‘tit Rex
Weeks before the big float parades stampede through the streets, smaller do-it-yourself foot processions gallivant between the curbs. These swarms of feminist Francophiles, nerdy science fiction devotees, absinthe fairy followers, ribald jokesters and other quirky Carnival cabals provide some of the season’s sweetest experiences.
Most of these parades are 21st-century inventions, but they hark back to the earliest, individualistic Mardi Gras impulses. Hail ‘tit Rex! Hail krewedelusion, and Cork! Hail all y’all.
Note: At this writing some details of the upcoming parades aren't completely worked out and may change as start time approaches. Check back for exact parade routes, themes and other features.
Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus
Saturday, Feb. 5, 7 p.m., Marigny and French Quarter
The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus is a science fiction-oriented foot parade that’s named for Bacchus, the Roman God of wine, and Chewbacca, the furry "Star Wars" sidekick.
The assorted aliens, space heroes, robots, monsters, and cosmic musicians of Chewbacchus first hit the streets in 2011. With annual dues of a mere $42, the do-it-yourself krewe grew to become what may be Carnival’s largest marching club, with 2,000-plus members. In 2013 the krewe achieved an unparalleled meta milestone when Peter Mayhew, the late actor who played the role of Chewbacca, served as parade king.
The lengthy, nerd-friendly parade typically follows a path through the Marigny, to the French Quarter, via St. Claude Ave., Frenchmen Street, and Decatur Street.
Krewe Boheme
Friday, Feb. 11, 7 p.m., Marigny and French Quarter
The mostly female krewe was inspired by absinthe, a formerly outlawed liqueur favored by Belle Époque artists, which is reputed to have hallucinatory properties. The dreamy Boheme parade sashayed through the downtown streets for the first time in 2019, led by their languid mascot, a green absinthe fairy (imagine an Art Nouveau Tinker Bell that follows the Grateful Dead).
Boheme is composed mainly of New Orleans' marvelous dance and marching troupes. Past parades have passed from the Marigny to the French Quarter.
Krewe du Vieux
Saturday, Feb. 12, 6:30 p.m., Marigny and French Quarter
Expect papier-mâché political satire and anatomical allusions aplenty from this procession of costumed marchers, mule-drawn mini floats, and spirited brass bands. Established in 1987, Krewe du Vieux is known for the sort of recklessly adolescent humor that sensible, sensitive folks avoid. Which is why the rest of us try never to miss it.
This year’s KDV theme is “Vaxxed and Confused,” and the parade scored an unparalleled coup by crowning Dr. Jennifer Avegno, head of the New Orleans Health Department, as queen.
Avegno says she's prepared for whatever irreverance the procession provides. “After the events of the past two years, no one deserves to be made fun of more than me,” Avegno said with gracious self-deprecation, when her coronation was announced.
The krewe typically treks from the Marigny to the French Quarter and back. It flows upriver on Royal Street, turns on Toulouse Street, and returns downriver along Decatur and Chartres streets.
krewedelusion
Saturday, Feb. 12, 7:15 p.m., Marigny and French Quarter
Krewedelusion is one of Mardi Gras' most eccentric, eclectic parades, with homemade min-floats, dance troupes, and marching groups including the Mexican Krewe de Mayahuel and Kreweleidoscope (formerly the musical Krewe du Seuss).
The king of the krewedelusion’s 12th parade is Tremé Brass Band leader, Benny Jones Sr., who will be escorted by members of the Black Men of Labor social and marching organization.
Krewedelusion usually follows immediately behind Krewe du Vieux through most of its trek, though the exact route has not yet determined.
'tit Rex
Sunday, February 13th, 4:30 p.m., Marigny
Inspired by the shoe box parades traditionally created by New Orleans school kids during Carnival season, 'tit Rex (petit Rex) was founded in 2009 as an antidote to the lavish, big-footprint krewes such as Bacchus.
The satirical, doll-scale parade could have remained an artsy novelty, but in 2011 the mighty Rex organization threatened to sue poor little 'tit Rex for infringing on the much older, wealthier krewe’s trade name.
In the end, ‘tit Rex agreed to change their name slightly (they adopted an upside-down "e"). But by then, Rex's public relations faux pas had made ‘tit Rex famous.
Krewe of Cork
Friday, Feb. 18, 3 p.m., French Quarter
The Krewe of Cork comes of age in 2022, with its 21st vino-centric stroll on Royal Street in the Vieux Carre. The annual procession is dedicated to sipping and sometimes sloshing wine, and sharing custom-made beads and other throws.

BLAINE KERN: THEY CALL HIM MR. MARDI GRAS
PREMIERES MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7 AT 8:00 P.M.
|
It’s why they call him “Mr. Mardi Gras”!
Blaine Kern, Sr. almost single handedly transferred Mardi Gras from a series of small exclusive parades into a billion dollar a year tourism juggernaut. He did so by reimagining and reshaping Carnival parades into eye-popping, animated extravaganzas that draw millions of people to witness the spectacle.
Along the way, he also founded and grew the largest float-building business in New Orleans, and the nation, creating floats and parades for Disney, Universal Studios, other parts of the country and the world — including China, Canada, Mexico and Japan.
Producer and narrator Dennis Woltering shares the colorful life story of the legendary float builder in the new documentary BLAINE KERN: THEY CALL HIM MR. MARDI GRAS.
Repeats: Sunday, February 13 at 10am; Monday, February 14 at 9pm; Saturday, February 19 at 7pm; Saturday, February 26 at 10pm; Sunday, February 27 at 3:30pm
Interviewed BLAINE KERN: THEY CALL HIM MR. MARDI GRAS are: Four of Kern's children — Blaine Kern Jr., Barry Kern, Brian Kern and Blainey Kern; Kern's widow Holly Kern; Carnival and krewe historians Errol Laborde, Arthur Hardy, Henri Schindler, Dr. Stephen Hales (Rex), Col. Clarence Becknell Sr. (Zulu) and Al Robichaux Jr. (Alla); Carnival krewe captains Owen "Pip" Brennan Jr. (Bacchus), Sonny Borey (Orpheus), Staci Rosenberg (Muses) and Gwen Rainey (Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale); Longtime friends Jacquelyn Brechtel Clarkson and Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser

Mardi Gras table auction
is back at Galatoire’s
|
The Galatoire Foundation’s annual Mardi Gras table auction, cancelled in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is back for 2022.
Attendees bid on the chance to reserve a table in the main dining room at Galatoire’s restaurant for the Friday before Mardi Gras, one of the most popular days of Carnival in the French Quarter prior to Fat Tuesday. Historically, reservations are not permitted in the restaurant’s main dining room at any time during the year.
This year’s auction is scheduled for Feb. 7. It begins at 6:30 p.m.
Nonprofits receiving all of the funds include Covenant House New Orleans, Patio Planters of the Vieux Carre and the Galatoire Foundation.
The Foundation raised over $117,000 at its Christmas table auction in November, a record.

Route changes announced for 2022 New Orleans
Mardi Gras parades
|
The changes are being made due to limited staffing from police, fire, medical and other public safety personnel, officials said.
Highlights from the press conference:
Magazine Street has been removed from the Uptown parade route.
Parades that traditionally start on river side of St. Charles Avenue will now start at Napoleon and Prytania.
Parades that traditionally start on the lake side of St. Charles Avenue now will start at Carondelet and Napoleon.
Endymion will roll in Mid-City with some modifications. The krewe will not go past Gallier Hall and will not do a traditional toast there. A new toasting spot will be determined later.
Zulu will roll on its original route - starting in Central City - with some modifications. The changes will be the same as in 2020 that were caused by the Hard Rock Hotel collapse.
Rex will start at Napoleon and Carondelet and then roll on its original route.
All the parades will roll on their traditional day, officials said, adding that the changes were made with input from the krewes.
Mardi Gras is March 1. Parades begin rolling several weeks ahead of that day.
The route changes also are temporary for this year, said NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson, and will be reevaluated before the next Carnival season.

NOPD Gearing Up For 12th Annual Horses, Hops, And Cops Fundraiser
The NOPD, Louisiana Hospitality Foundation and Southern Eagle are gearing up for the 12th Annual Horses, Hops, and Cops fundraiser to benefit the NOPD Mounted Division. The event, scheduled to take place on February 16, 2022 at the NOPD stables on Harrison Avenue, is a free and family-friendly event open to all ages and an opportunity to meet the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales.
Every year during carnival season, the Clydesdales visit New Orleans and dedicate one night to supporting their fellow horses. During Horses, Hops, and Cops, the entire family will be able to get up close and personal with the Clydesdales, tour the NOPD stables, as well as watch an equestrian soccer game featuring NOPD Mounted Unit officers and Orleans Parish Sheriff’s deputies. Photos with the horses, live entertainment, children’s activities, food, beverages, and craft vendors will also be available to enjoy.
For more exclusive access to the Budweiser Clydesdales, there are a limited quantity of VIP Experience Tour tickets available for purchase where guests can enjoy a one-hour guided tour behind the scenes with a Budweiser Clydesdale handler to learn about the unique horses, their special training, state-of-the-art transportation and much more.
Raffle tickets are also available for a chance to party with a guest on the Budweiser balcony on Mardi Gras Day and to win a pair of diamond stud earring from Diamonds Direct. The raffle will be held on the night of the fundraiser (February 16th) at 8:00 p.m.
Proceeds raised from sponsorships, concession sales, raffle tickets, VIP experience tickets, photo sales and other donations will support the NOPD Mounted Unit.
“The Mounted Unit is a pivotal tool in the New Orleans Police Department’s toolbox, especially during large scale events such as Mardi Gras,” NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said. “The unit provides high-visibility patrol and plays an important role in our crime-fighting efforts. Horses, Hops, and Cops is an important event that ensures we are able to continue providing the best care for our horses and best protection for our citizens.”
For more information on Horses, Hops and Cops and/or to buy VIP Tour or raffle tickets, visit www.horseshopsandcops.com or contact the NOPD Public Information Office at 504-658-5858.

the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival returns this spring with headliners The Who, Stevie Nicks, Foo Fighters, Lionel Richie, Erykah Badu, Ludacris, Nelly and Willie Nelson.
Festival organizers announced the lineup for the festival Thursday. It’s scheduled over two weekends, Friday, April 29, through Sunday, May 1 and Thursday, May 5, through Sunday, May 8.
Festival producer Quint Davis said after talking with state and city health officials, organizers felt now was the time to bring the festival back to its original time slot.
“We will follow whatever COVID protocols are in place at the time,” Davis stressed. “Whatever they want us to do we will do. It helps that we’re outdoors. It’s still four months away, but we think by April and May it will be a beautiful time. Everybody’s ready to come back.”
Also performing at the festival are Jimmy Buffett, Luke Combs, The Black Crowes, Norah Jones, Ziggy Marley: Songs of Bob Marley and The Avett Brothers. Louisiana stars taking the stage include PJ Morton, Lauren Daigle, Big Freedia, Tank and the Bangas, Nicholas Payton, Nathan & The Zydeco Cha Chas, and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.
