Art Deco t-shirt/sweatshirt created by our Chorus Girl Project angels in tribute to Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc |
The Chorus Girl Project has provided a stunning conclusion to the Joan of Arc parade for many years as a troupe of beautiful angels and Saint Joan. This year we were so pleased to have most of our regular performance groups with us bring our Tableaux de Jeanne d'Arc to life: the Muff-a-Lottas as dancing flames and Skinz-n-Bones as the murderous, corrupt judges who sentenced Joan of Arc to death.
But in these difficult COVID times, the Chorus Girl Project dance troupe is shut down, and, like so many professional performing artists, leaders Amy Johnson and Laura Manning are professional dancers whose careers have been furloughed due to COVID restrictions. We really missed the Chorus Girl Angels in our Tableaux this year, and they really missed us. They've created this beautiful T-shirt design as their alternative COVID participation in the Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc. This shirt is a fundraiser for both the Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc and the Chorus Girl Project.
Each year they create a fresh angel costume which is frequently one of the most photographed elements of our parade. For our parade they shift completely from their usual chorus girl dance group persona and become a truly transcendent solemn angelic presence at the conclusion of the Joan of Arc parade. They choose one of their group who is deserving of the honor to portray Saint Joan, dancing our 16-foot dove kite symbolizing Joan's spirit ascending into heaven. The art deco style of their tribute design not only fits with the Chorus Girl Project's 1920s style, but also evokes the 1920s canonization of St. Joan of Arc.

Join Gulf South Writer in the Woods Ladee Hubbard and culinary historian Jessica Harris for a discussion of Hubbard’s new novel, "The Rib King" on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 6pm CT.
|
"Hubbard works to deconstruct painful African American stereotypes and offers a fresh and searing critique on race, class, privilege, ambition, exploitation, and the seeds of rage in America in this intricately woven and masterfully executed historical novel, set in the early twentieth century, that centers around the Black servants of a down-on-its heels upper-class white family.
Elegantly written and exhaustively researched, "The Rib King" is an unsparing examination of America’s fascination with Black iconography and exploitation that redefines African American stereotypes in literature. In this powerful, disturbing, and timely novel, Ladee Hubbard reveals who people actually are, and most importantly, who and what they are not."

NATIONAL BUBBLE WRAP DAY
National Bubble Wrap Day (also known as National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day) on the last Monday in January recognizes a fascinating piece of invention. Today, bubble wrap’s primary purpose is to protect fragile items either in shipping or storage. Of course, people also take enjoyment from popping the bubbles in bubble wrap, too.
Click play and enjoy a story about National Bubble Wrap Day featuring our founder, Marlo Anderson. If you enjoy the 2 minute show, subscribe with your favorite podcast player.
However, when two engineers created bubble wrap, the use as packaging didn’t pop into their minds right away. Marc Chavannes and Alfred Fielding first sealed two shower curtains together in 1956 in the town of Hawthorne, New Jersey. This technique created a smattering of air bubbles. The two engineers initially thought their creation would make a great wallpaper! However, sales for the wallpaper never materialized. So, Chavannes and Fielding moved to sell the product as greenhouse insulation.
The product was originally named Air Cap and produced by the Sealed Air Corporation which was founded in 1960. In 1961, the product evolved into the Bubble Wrap we know today when it protected IBM’s 1401 computer when it started shipping. Sealed Air Corporation trademarked Bubble Wrap and has been filling shipping needs ever since.

NATIONAL IRISH COFFEE DAY
National Irish Coffee Day kicks off January 25th each year with a mug of strong coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and topped with a layer of cream.
On a cold, wet day in 1942 weary travelers to the small Shannon Airport in southwest Ireland found their way to a restaurant and chef Joe Sheridan. To warm his guests, he served them hot coffee, spiked with whiskey and topped with whipped cream. The passengers asked if the beverage was Brazilian coffee. Sheridan responded that it was Irish coffee.
Click play and enjoy a story about National Irish Coffee Appreciation Day featuring our founder, Marlo Anderson. If you enjoy the 2 minute show, subscribe with your favorite podcast player.
A travel writer, Stanton Delaplane, brought Irish coffee to the United States after having it at Shannon Airport.
Delaplane brought the idea to the Buena Vista Cafe on November 10, 1952. After much trial and error, sampling, and a trip back to Ireland for a taste of the original, Delaplane, along with Buena Vista owners Jack Koeppler and George Freeberg, were able to replicate the delicious coffee and the method for floating the cream on top of the coffee.
How to Make an Authentic Irish Coffee
Starting with a warm glass, fill 2/3rds full of freshly brewed coffee. Stir in a heaping teaspoon of sugar. Add 1 ounce of Irish whiskey.
Adding the cream, so it floats is the tricky part. According to the Buena Vista account, and at the suggestion of San Francisco’s mayor, a dairyman, cream that is 48 hours old, is best. However, others recommend whipping cream (not whipped cream) that has been lightly whipped or foamed.
When the coffee has stopped swirling from stirring in the sugar, pour the foamy cream over the back of a spoon.

21 NEW ORLEANS DISHES TO TRY IN 2021
Exciting dishes to try in New Orleans this year
|
Mawi Tortillas started 2020 as a father-son wholesale tortilla supplier, but come March, found themselves in the position that so many wholesale providers and restaurants were in. So they pivoted. And what a delicious pivot it was. While everything on the Mawi menu is a superstar, it's the Birria Tacos that seem to have really stolen the hearts (and become the Instagram darlings) of NOLA foodies. While not available every day, these griddled tacos feature tender, garlicky beef, loads of melted cheese and a side of outrageously flavorful beef broth for dipping. Check ahead on their social to see what days you can find them.

Jay Haliczer
The first use of the words “Mardi Gras” in Louisiana was in 1699, when Pierre le Moyne, Sieur d’Iberville, named a bend in the river "Pointe du Mardi Gras," in honor of that year’s Fat Tuesday. However, Carnival was rarely celebrated in the new colony—the early people of the Big Easy found life in the mud-caked huts and thatched roofs of New Orleans’s pioneer days brutal and unrelenting.
But by the time the French governor, the Marquis de Vaudreuil, made masked balls popular in New Orleans in the 1750s, Mardi Gras was already being celebrated. Impromptu processions of street maskers were fairly common by the 1830s, and it was they who tossed the first Mardi Gras throws, which were originally sugarcoated peanuts. Zulu would invent the first signature throw, their famous coconut, but it would be Rex (pictured above and below) who would pioneer the now ubiquitous Mardi Gras beads, which were first thrown in 1921. The term throw itself, though, comes from the idea that those who were tossing these trinkets had so much in excess that they could simply give it all away by “throwing it to the crowd.”
But organized Mardi Gras—that is, Mardi Gras parades with floats and a theme—would arrive shortly thereafter. In 1837, Mardi Gras street parades were dubbed “Cowbellians” after the Cowbellian deRakin Society, a Mardi Gras organization from Alabama. That same society would stage their first themed float parade three years later in Mobile, known as Heathen Gods and Goddesses. And this is crucial: said society inspired members of the Pickwick Club to form their own Mardi Gras organization in the Crescent City. Founded in 1857, the Mistick Krewe of Comus was named after the Greek God of merriment and their inaugural theme would be Demon Actors from John Milton’s Paradise Lost.

Next would come The Twelfth Night Revelers (1870), Rex (1872), The Knights of Momus (1872), and Proteus (1882), all organizations made up of wealthy white men from the uppermost echelons of society. And they would transform Mardi Gras from a participatory extravaganza into an event where citizens gathered not to partake in, but to watch the procession. But in doing so, they brought a kind of educated spectacle to the celebration that had been missing from New Orleans, in addition to establishing the traditions of modern Carnival.
Rex assigned meaning to the colors of Mardi Gras using their 1892 parade, Symbolism of Colors: purple for justice, gold for power, and green for faith. And Comus’s pseudo Old English term krewe became the standard term for most Mardi Gras organizations. Proteus invented the call-out section at the Mardi Gras ball, and the Twelfth Night Revelers not only introduced the first Carnival queen, but, in borrowing the French, then Creole, custom of eating gateau des rois (king cake) on Twelfth Night to select their queen, cemented the connection between king cake and Mardi Gras. They were also the first to use political satire and the first non-parading krewe; since 1876, they have focused entirely on their private ball.
Though no official rule barred other groups of people from creating their own krewes, these first organizations forbade women, African Americans, Jews, and Italians from joining, as well as white men who did not have the proper pedigree. But over time, this practice would lose its coercive social power. The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club (1909) was the first African American parading krewe. And the Mardi Gras Indians found some of their inspiration from Native Americans traveling with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. They arrived in New Orleans in 1884, and the Creole Wild West tribe was founded in 1885. The first female club to stage a parade was the Krewe of Venus in 1941, and the Virgilians, in 1939, became the first Italian-American krewe.
But this changing social landscape would culminate in the founding of the superkrewe Bacchus, and then Endymion, in the 1960s. Their formation marked one of the biggest changes in Mardi Gras history: krewes designed for the general public. With celebrity kings and an open policy towards ball invitations, Bacchus led the way as the pinnacle of inclusivity. The elitism of the old Mardi Gras social order was largely a thing of the past, at least as a general, citywide practice. And in subsequent years, following this change in custom, three more superkrewes would join them: the krewes of Orpheus (1994), Muses (2001), and Nyx (2012).
Though the Big Easy now had krewes for every stratum of society, inclusivity had its limitations. This was especially true for the old-line krewes—what the oldest of the Mardi Gras organizations would come to be called—since their attitudes towards krewe membership, culture, and social practices had remained unchanged despite the evolution of public opinion. But even newer krewes mostly preferred the insularity of the old practices, regardless of ethnicity or social status. Even so, the city of New Orleans, despite a bitterly divided city council, passed an ordinance in 1991 requiring all parading krewes to desegregate. Though most krewes opposed the decision, only Comus, Momus, and Proteus stopped parading.
The traditions that the old-line krewes pioneered in the late 19th century have both evolved and remained the same, but race, sex, ethnicity, and social standing can no longer prevent someone from joining, or from creating, their own krewe. Yet, their approach has been replaced with a less refined form of entertainment and ritual. Nevertheless, the meeting of the courts of Comus and Rex still officially ends the Mardi Gras season every year. And in the year 2000, Proteus resumed parading. Modern Mardi Gras’s inclusivity has restored a degree of the old participation common during its earlier years, though its form and spectacle is radically different.
Regardless, however, of how Mardi Gras is understood and celebrated, it remains, as it ever has, even after 300 years, the city’s most iconic and most enduring institution.

If you just want basic information, it will be easiest to find it there as announcements are made.

3rd - Moderators and I will be cleaning up the discussion page to make sure everyone can find their subkrewes, vendor info, planning updates, and more info about how you can volunteer and participate as much or as little as you feel like. I ask that you take planning discussions to the subkrewe pages and leave this page clean for krewe-wide info. YOU HAVE 24 HOURS so if there is info you want to save do so ASAP. This group is growing very quickly and we are literally building the ship as she sails so we will adjust as necessary facilitate easy access to the latest and greatest.

Join Restore the Mississippi River Delta for a discussion with Meg Adams, Director of Environmental Stewardship at New Orleans City Park. This beloved park was founded in 1854 and has served generations of New Orleanians and guests with an ever-evolving menu of activities for all ages and interests. Meg will share some of the history of the park, her favorite nooks and crannies, and plans for the further sustainable development, including water retention, permeable pavement and more!

She and her team are working to improve the natural areas of the Park, to optimize energy use, and to decrease the waste stream by composting and recycling. She received a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Tulane University, and is a registered Professional Engineer in Louisiana. She is a Past President of the New Orleans Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Prior to working at the Park, she was a consultant in the field of design and construction management, consulting on numerous projects in the New Orleans area, including the Swamp Exhibit and the Tea Room at Audubon Park, the Erato Street Cruise Ship Terminal for the Port of New Orleans, The Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden for NOMA, Harrah’s Casino, and the Riverwalk Marketplace.

The Madisonville Market, put on by the Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation, is more than just a farmer’s market. It’s a place where the community can interact with local artisans, crafters, farmers, chefs and more as they share their passion for making handmade goods, homegrown produce and prepared foods.
The weekly market takes place each Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Madisonville Park & Playground, located on Pine Street near the 1000 block (closest cross street is Jahncke Ave.). Over 40 vendors offer hot and ready-to-eat foods, chocolates and candies, cookies and baked goods, jams and jellies, sauces and seasonings, flowers, plants, eggs, cheeses, fruits, veggies, local honey and selections by local vintners. Also, you'll find original art, handmade jewelry and accessories, hand-dyed fabrics, hand-sewn leather goods, wooden creations, soaps and body care products, health and wellness items, home decor items, baby clothes and hand sewn masks.
Shopping aside, families will enjoy the nearby playground, and be sure to look for on-site artists and massage therapists when you're ready to take a break from your shopping. There's also a concession stand on the ballfield with bottled water and sodas.
The non-profit Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation partners with local government, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to fund local projects such as the restoration of historic sites in Madisonville, and the education of young adults ages 14-24 in the arts, trades, agriculture, and entrepreneurship through donations, fundraisers, and mentorship efforts, all with an approach of attaining sustainable solutions for healthier living.
The Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation is sponsored by Resource Bank and local small businesses such as Flamjeaux Coffee Co., a small roasting house in Mandeville.
