CYBER MONDAY
Cyber Monday is the Internet’s answer to Black Friday deals. The official observance takes place the Monday after Thanksgiving.
While Internet-based companies traditionally offered their best holiday shopping on Cyber Monday to compete with Black Friday deals in brick and mortar stores, things have been changing. However, in more recent years, Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals tend to run together. Some start as early as the week of Thanksgiving and run right through the holiday season. But don’t neglect online deals. There may still be savings to be had.
In 2014, Monday after Thanksgiving online sales continued to trend upward with 15.4% increase in revenue from 2013 sales, making it the biggest, online shopping day in history. In 2014 Americans spent an average of $124 per order on Cyber Monday.
Social media also ramps up advertising opportunities, bringing potential shoppers to retailers’ online stores. Cyber shopping is expected to be up again this year with a predicted 3 billion in sales.
Purchases on mobile devices also have increased, adding to the convenience of Cyber shopping for the holidays. No longer do you have to be strapped to your PC or Mac in order to make an online purchase. Purchases can now be made on the train during a morning commute while waiting for a doctor’s appointment or during a lunch break.
Some of the most popular online purchases are likely to be tech items, especially wearable technology as well as traditional small appliances, clothing, gift cards, and digital media.

The Historic New Orleans Collection
Join us in celebrating the New Orleans debut of "Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition," an interactive experience that offers a glimpse into the past, present, and future of a landmark that has weathered wars, witnessed Napoleon's coronation, withstood a devastating fire in 2019, and is now undergoing a meticulous restoration to return the structure to its former glory.
Each visitor will be issued a HistoPad as their portal into the past that offers unique insight into the cathedral's historical timeline, plus fun activities for the entire family.
After stunning audiences in Paris, Dubai, and Washington DC, we are excited to be only the second US institution to host the exhibition, which will be on view through March 1 in THNOC's Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal Street.
Admission is free, with timed-ticketing reservations required. Learn more and reserve tickets: hnoc.org/notre-dame

Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles

Free ticketed admission / Acceso gratuito con entrada
About the Exhibition / Sobre la exposición
New Orleans has long been identified—by locals, tourists, and historians alike—with its French heritage. A groundbreaking exhibition at The Historic New Orleans Collection restores balance to that assessment. During four decades under Spanish rule (1762–1803), the city experienced natural disaster, diplomatic tensions, and demographic transformation. Despite numerous challenges, Spanish New Orleans morphed from a poorly managed outpost on the edge of an empire to a highly urbanized colonial capital—one enriched by the racial and cultural diversity for which it is celebrated today.
Rare Artifacts come to New Orleans for Exhibition on Spanish Colonial Era
Free bilingual display on view Oct. 20, 2022–Jan. 22, 2023
Features more than 120 objects — including maps, documents, furniture, paintings, books and more — from THNOC’s permanent holdings as well as from several institutions in Spain, Mexico and the United States. The display is the first and only time this selection of objects will be presented together in one space.
In a first for THNOC, “Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles” will be presented in both English and Spanish.
“Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean” will be on view on the first level of THNOC’s Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal St. in the French Quarter from Oct. 29, 2022, through Jan. 22, 2023. Admission is free. Advance reservations are recommended and may be made at my.hnoc.org beginning Thursday, Oct.13, 2022. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org.

NATIONAL FRENCH TOAST DAY
Each year on November 28th, people across the United States enjoy National French Toast Day. Also known as eggy bread or omelet bread, it makes a great breakfast for guests or part of a brunch.
Home cooks and professionals alike whip up a few personal favorites when it comes to french toast recipes. The base consists of eggs and milk whisked together. Bread is dipped into the mixture and fried until golden. Many people also add some sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon to the base.
The flavor of French toast can be brightened with a squeeze of fresh orange or stuffed with sauteed apples and cinnamon. Make French toast kid-friendly by cutting it into sticks. Then dip the sticks into syrup. Substitute sugary syrup with a fruit puree and fresh fruit pieces. Nuts and seeds add crunch to this delicious breakfast fare, and don’t forget the whipped cream! Just a dollop goes a long way.

Ain't There No More New Orleans
Derby Gisclair
Buster Holmes
For many, the first exposure to the best red beans and rice in New Orleans came from a typical booth at the Jazz & Heritage Festival. After that. legions of followers sought out a modest restaurant at 721 Burgundy Street on the corner of Orleans operated by Buster Holmes.
Once inside the two-room restaurant, patrons discovered a whole world of food beyond red beans and rice -- garlic chicken, turnip greens, butter beans, gumbo, and so much more. People from all walks of life found their way to Buster Holmes, the restaurant also acting as an unofficial community center. Local musicians, both known and unknown, were as much a staple as the creamy grits.
In 2010 ,Pelican Publishing put out a collection of his recipes titled "The Buster Holmes Restaurant Cookbook."
Holmes died of a heart attack on March 3, 1994, at the age of 89.

VENDOR OF THE WEEK:
Joe Fekete Family Farm
Still planning and shopping for your holiday meals? Look no further! This time of year, Joe Fekete Family Farm’s table is full of beets, kale, mustard greens, turnips, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant, and heirloom tomatoes. Joe and his wife Margaret run Fekete Family Farm outside of Amite, Louisiana with the help of their kids, Jessica, Amanda, Sarah, and Nathan. After retiring from a career in education, Joe wanted to return to his roots and reconnect with the earth. Farming has allowed him to settle into his niche: playing in the dirt. By growing seasonal produce and embracing the cyclical nature of the land, Joe Fekete’s Family Farm helps to restore balance in nature and in his local community. Joe and his family feel thankful to be stewards of the land and to share the bounty with their valued CCFM customers! Find Joe Fekete Family Farm each week at our Tuesday Uptown market.

In soccer, there are ties that feel like victories and ties that feel like defeats. The United States has experienced one of each in the group stage of this World Cup.
Squandering a late lead against Wales in the 1-1 opener Monday left a bad taste, but standing up to mighty England in a 0-0 stalemate Friday was cause for light celebration.
Want World Cup news as it happens? Download The Post’s app and turn on alert notifications for Sports and Breaking News.
Nothing good, however, would come from another draw on the final day of Group B play Tuesday. The United States (two points) must beat Iran (three points) to finish in the top two and advance to the round of 16. With a loss or tie, this World Cup adventure ends.
World Cup tiebreakers and advancement scenarios, explained
When the 32-team competition began, getting out of the group was the threshold for modest success after missing the 2018 tournament and infusing the roster with young players. Now the Americans are in position to finish their first mission.

GOOD SHEPHERD SCHOOL ANNOUNCES STAR-STUDDED “NIGHT AT THE OSCARS” GALA TO SUPPORT SCHOOL’S PHILANTHROPIC MISSION
“Night at the Oscars“ Gala to Take Place Thursday, December 1 at The Cannery in Mid-City
(New Orleans) –Good Shepherd School (GSS) announced today their annual gala with a theme of “Night at the Oscars” on Thursday, December 1, 2022, at The Cannery in Mid-City with the event’s patron party beginning at 6:30 p.m. and the main event starting at 7:30 p.m.
This year’s celebratory soiree will feature entertainment from renowned international party band “After Party.” Food and exotic drinks for the event will be prepared by Toulouse Gourmet Catering.
The “Night at the Oscars” gala is a new and picturesque twist on GSS’s annual “Dancing with the Stars” gala and will have special honorees and awards handed out over the course of the night. Some GSS graduates will be spotlighted in video vignettes during the gala.
“This year’s ‘Night at the Oscars’ gala will be a spectacular event and bring a little bit of Hollywood to New Orleans,” said GSS President and CEO Thomas Moran. “It’s the perfect event to celebrate our supporters and the hard work our team at GSS provides helping families break the cycle of generational poverty through quality, faith-based education – all funded by the generosity of others.”
The event will continue the legacy of the school’s founder, Father Harry Tompson. Since opening its doors in 2001, the Gentilly-based Good Shepherd Pre-K and Elementary School has carried out Fr. Tompson’s lifelong mission of helping and educating children in need. The Catholic school opened its doors just four months after Fr. Tompson’s death with the mission of educating children no matter their family’s financial situation. So far, GSS has graduated 219 students and currently serves 264 students.
GSS is opening a second campus in the Desire-Florida Community currently serving Kindergarten students with plans to expand to additional grades in the coming years. The new campus is being constructed in partnership with The Giving Hope Foundation and will be located at 3601 Desire Parkway.
GSS has 74 college-age graduates, more than 20 have already earned their college degrees and will be featured on the school’s ever growing GSS College Graduate Wall. Additionally, more than 40 GSS alumni are nearing their college graduations in the next few years. GSS graduates have attended 25 different colleges and universities throughout the United States, including nine Historically Black Colleges and Universities. GSS Graduates have majored in just about every available academic program including Aviation, Art, Biology, Communications, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Education, English, Kinesiology, Law, Math, Mechanical Engineering, Medicine, Nursing, Political Science, and Physical Therapy.
Currently, 145 GSS graduates are thriving academically in local area Catholic, private, public, and charter high schools. GSS graduates have attended 16 local Catholic schools with the most significant numbers at St. Augustine, Jesuit, Brother Martin, Archbishop Rummel, St. Katharine Drexel, Cabrini, St. Mary's Academy, Mount Carmel Academy, and De La Salle. GSS now has two graduates attending Holy Cross High School and two others enrolled at St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis.
Tickets for the event start at $125 and include an open bar and unlimited food. A limited number of sponsorships are available. For more information on the event, tickets and sponsorships, visit https://us.givergy.com/GSSGala. Officials say the renowned GSS “Dancing with the Stars” event will return in Fall 2023.

Friday Night Wine School is back with a bang as Brennan Bergeron pours wines from Xavier Vignon, a superstar consultant in the Rhone who marches to the beat of his own drum and has become one of the Rhône Valley’s most accomplished winemakers. Despite not owning his own vineyards, Vignon’s 25+ years of experience consulting for over 500 different vignerons in the region (Raymond Usseglio, La Nerthe, Marcoux, Gardine, Jerome Quiot, Beaurenard, Mont Redon, Maucoil, Roger Perrin and Grand Veneur, just to name a few!) has given him incredible access to fruit from some of the Rhône’s finest terroirs, as well as plenty of experience in how best to handle them. A self-confessed alchemist with a scientific, oenological background, Vignon has not been afraid to experiment, blending vintages and producing unusual one-off bottlings (known as the Arcane series). He is today one of the region’s most inquisitive, radical and accomplished winemakers.
Xavier has no problem blending a Châteauneuf-du-Pape with a Côtes du Rhône village cuvee to make it a better wine only for it to be downgraded to a Vin de France because Châteauneuf-du-Pape cannot be included in a blend and be titled Côtes du Rhône Villages. Or making a nonvintage blend of Syrah from the northern Rhone with Grenache from the south - how about a 100% Mourvedre from a single parcel near Vinsobres? His interest lies in how it tastes, accentuating the multifaceted variety and complexity that exists in the Southern Rhône, rather than the traditional restraints of the appellation system.
Unconventional aging vessels also intrigue Xavier - clay amphora, specially made glass tanks, even experimenting with aging wines in the ocean with his own invention of submerging a tank of wine within another bigger tank of wine, he is always pushing the envelope. This is a maverick winemaker whose wines today are some of the most exciting in the Southern Rhône.
While he makes a few whites and rosé, his reds are so intriguing that this will be an all red wine tasting event (except for maybe a delicious white dessert wine) and I'm so looking forward to meeting with Brennan Bergeron today to figure out the lineup. Don't miss this chance to taste wines from this superstar winemaker - we promise you will be impressed! Get your tickets

NEW ORLEANS – At a news conference held at Mardi Gras World Thursday, Nov.10, details were unveiled for the first-of-its-kind Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade which will take place in downtown New Orleans Saturday, Dec. 3 starting at 11 a.m.
Kicking off the holiday season, the more than 20 float parade will include custom-designed holiday themed floats that include animatronic props, intelligent lighting systems, special effects and audio systems, along with traditional rider floats, bringing the joy and magic of the holiday season to thousands of parade-goers.
“Children’s Hospital is excited to help bring a world-class, kid and family-centered holiday parade to the City of New Orleans this December,” said John R. Nickens IV, President and CEO of Children’s Hospital New Orleans. “We invite the community to join us for an afternoon of joy and fun as we kickoff the holiday season together.”
The parade will also feature high-flying helium balloons displayed for the first-time in New Orleans, along with the beloved marching groups and bands that the citizens of New Orleans have come to love – and of course, Santa himself with his cast of holiday characters.
“New Orleans during the holidays is one of the most wonderful times of the year for our community,” said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. “The Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade is an exciting addition to all that our city has to offer for its citizens and visitors alike during this magical time of year. Come downtown and roll with us on Saturday, December 3 as we experience the joy of the holidays.”

Float sponsors include B1 Bank, Chick-fil-A New Orleans, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, The National WWII Museum, Louisiana Feed Your Soul and Audacy.
"The Downtown Development District is pleased to continue its support of the City's Holiday Parade,” said Downtown Development District President and CEO Davon Barbour. “In partnering with Kern Studios, this year's parade will be bigger and better than ever with national exposure. We take our responsibility as advocates for the Downtown community very seriously and believe that this reimagining of the parade will serve as a significant economic boost to Downtown businesses."
The Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade will begin at the corner of Esplanade Avenue and North Peters Street, traveling North Peters to Decatur Street through the vibrant French Market toward Jackson Square and Oscar Dunn Park, where it will bring the joy and magic of the holiday season to life.

After two-year absence, Norco Christmas Parade returning to River Parishes on Dec. 4
Shan Bailey
NORCO, La. - ‘Tis the season for the return of a River Parishes holiday tradition. After a two-year absence, the Norco Christmas Parade returns on Dec. 4.
The Norco Civic Association confirmed the parade will roll again with the theme “Norco Honors Our First Responders,” which was set for 2021 before Hurricane Ida forced organizers to cancel a second year. In 2000, the parade was nixed due to COVID-19.
Stephen Weber, president of the Norco Civic Association, says bringing the family-friendly holiday tradition back to the community was truly a team effort.
“I’m proud to say that this event is a testament to the community of Norco and our surrounding communities in St. Charles Parish that work together to introduce and usher in the spirit of the Christmas season,” Weber said.
The Norco Christmas Parade kicks off the holiday season in the River Parishes with floats, classic cars and marching groups.
Festivities begin with Santa and Mrs. Claus flying in by helicopter and landing on the levee at the corner of Apple Street and River Road around 12:45 p.m. Then, the parade rolls at 1 p.m. starting at the corner of Apple Street and River Road and culminating at the Norco Town Square near Apple Street and River Road.
Several marching groups will also join the parade including the 610 Stompers, Ain’t Misbehavin’ Social Club, the Star Wars 501st Legion Marchers, the Krewe des Fleurs marchers, Shriners Dune Buggies, New Orleans Pelicans Masters Touch Drumline and the Bowzer’s Riding Club. A number of area school bands, dance teams and spirit groups will also march along with the parade.

Tom Fitzmorris
Since 1992 when Tom came up with the brilliant idea called the Eat Club, it has been a signature event associated with the Food Show. We have had countless Eat Club events since then, but they ended in late 2019. The 50th-anniversary dinner in September reminded us how much fun the Eat Club dinners were. So...
We are pleased to announce that we are starting them up again, and what better place than one of our favorite restaurants? On Tuesday, December 6th at 6:30pm, we will offer the Reveillon Menu at Trenasse and the price will include wine pairings. The menu is below. It is $85 ++ Wines are included in the price.
We hope to see you there! Reserve by emailing tom@nomenu
