NATIONAL EAT A CRANBERRY DAY

On November 23rd, National Eat a Cranberry Day encourages us to take a bite of the bright red cranberry. But brace yourself!


Found in acidic bogs throughout the cooler regions of the northern hemisphere, cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs, or trailing vines, that grow up to 7 feet long and 8 inches high. Their stems are slender and wiry, and they have small evergreen leaves.

The cranberry flowers are dark pink with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving the style and stamens fully exposed and pointing forward. The fruit of the cranberry plant is a berry that is larger than the leaves and is initially white but when ripe, turns a deep red.

CRANBERRY FACTS

  • Cranberries’ acidity overwhelms their sweetness. 
  • They’re a major commercial crop in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin. 
  • However, Wisconsin leads in cranberry production with over half of U.S. production.
  • We mostly find cranberries processed into products such as juice, sauce, jam, or sweetened dried cranberries.
  • Cranberry sauce is considered an indispensable part of a traditional American Thanksgiving meal.
  • Due to their nutrient content and antioxidant qualities, raw cranberries are marketed as a superfruit. 
  • There are three to four species of cranberry, classified into two sections.
  • Producers make white cranberry juice from cranberries harvested after they’ve matured but before they turn their characteristic dark red color. 
  • Some producers make cranberry wine in the cranberry-growing regions of the United States.
  • Laboratory studies indicate that extracts containing cranberry may have anti-aging effects.

The word cranberry comes from “craneberry”; first named by the early European settlers in America who felt the expanding flower, stem, calyx, and petals resembled the neck, head, and bill of a crane. 


NATIONAL ESPRESSO DAY

Get the pure coffee essence on National Espresso Day! Whether you sip one cup or keep buzzing all day long, November 23rd is the day. 


The word espresso (/ɛˈsprɛsoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [eˈsprɛsso]) in Italian means ‘quick in time.’ Before the advent of the espresso machine, espresso was simply a coffee expressly made for the person ordering it. It was also made with recently roasted and freshly ground beans. The cup was brewed shortly before serving. In the late 1800s, this practice was commonplace in cafés and restaurants.

While today’s espresso maintains the freshness quality, it has undergone a transition in meaning. We’ve come to know espresso as a highly concentrated brew served in smaller quantities. We may also use espresso as a base for other delicious coffee creations.

We can thank the espresso machine for this modern view of espresso. In 1901, Italian Luigi Bezzera invented the first successful espresso machine. The newer technologies produced a smaller, more concentrated cup more quickly than traditional coffee brewing methods. Additionally, this thicker, more intense brew created a creamy foam on top called the crema. The richer flavors and aromas of an espresso create delicious lattes, mochas, cappuccinos, macchiatos, and many café creations.

Beyond the range of beverages, the intense flavor of espresso lends itself to baking. Where coffee may become lost when blended with other flavors, espresso remains vibrant. Blend it with cream cheese, sugar and flour for a cheesecake. Add it to ladyfingers and make tiramisu. Many desserts call for espressos such as ice cream and crème brûlée.

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

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 JUKEBOX DAY

The day before gathering around the turkey, gather around the nearest jukebox to celebrate National Jukebox Day! As Americans flock to their hometowns for Thanksgiving, many will head out to neighborhood bars and restaurants. They will catch up with friends and family and celebrate by playing great songs on their local jukebox.


The name jukebox is thought to originate from places called ‘juke houses’ or ‘jook joints.’ In the early 1900s, people congregated in these establishments to drink and listen to music. In 1889, Louis Glass and his partner William S. Arnold invented the first coin-operated player in San Francisco. They were both managers of the Pacific Phonograph Co. Formally known as the nickel-in-the-slot machine, the player included a coin operation feature on an Edison phonograph. However, it played a limited selection of songs without any amplification.

Playing Music, Playing the Jukebox

Throughout history, the jukebox continued to evolve with the times. When recording artists first crooned into microphones and cut records into vinyl, an aspiring inventor in a Chicago music store worked nights to build a box that would play both sides of the record. While the Blue Grass Boys played to sold-out audiences in the Grand Ole Opry, guys and gals danced the night away by playing their song over and over again on the jukebox at a local pub. With the advancement of technology, today’s jukebox is more versatile than ever before. Touchscreen interfaces respond to the swipe of a finger (or can even be controlled by a mobile app). A vast virtual library of songs includes back catalog jukebox heroes alongside top artists of today.

No matter what genre of music you like, or who you listen with, the jukebox covers every era. From big band and jazz, country and blues to rock & roll, acoustic and electric, and everything in between, celebrate them with National Jukebox Day!

HISTORY OF THE JUKEBOX

The first coin-operated player was invented in San Francisco by Louis Glass and his partner William S. Arnold. Louis Glass and his partner William S. Arnold invented the first coin-operated player in 1889 in San Fransisco, CA. In 1905, John Gabel introduced the “Automatic Entertainer.” It included 24 song selections. 

Enter “The Golden Era” of jukeboxes. In the 1930s, manufacturers including Rudolph Wurlitzer Co., The J. P. Seeburg Corp., The Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corp., and Automatic Musical Instrument Co., competed to produce them for diners, saloons, and other entertainment locations.

“The Silver Age” of jukeboxes began in 1946. At the time, the market demand for the newest and greatest technology soared. Fashionable and sleek, jukeboxes were more than just music players, they were centerpieces often flamboyant with color and chrome. Neon and sci-fi became a tremendous influence on style as well.

Modern Era

The 1960s started a new modern age for jukeboxes. Designs of coin-operated models went through radical changes. New materials and customer demand influenced aesthetics and increased the variety of song selections.

In 1989, compact-disc mechanisms replaced the older record-style players as newer technology became affordable and rapidly implemented among the general population. Jukeboxes started to become more of a novelty than a necessity.

TouchTunes introduced the next major innovation for the industry in 1998 with the launch of the first digital networked music jukebox. For the first time, customers could search and browse from a library with 750 digital songs. They continued the innovation with the first-ever jukebox mobile app on iOS and Android. The app allows users to find nearby jukebox locations, create playlists, and queue up songs on the jukebox directly from their phone. Other applications soon followed including Virtuo and Playdium

In 2011, TouchTunes once again revolutionized in-venue entertainment with the launch of Virtuo, a multi-application platform designed to appeal a tech-savvy audience. Users could choose from hundreds of thousands of songs available.


NATIONAL CASHEW DAY

A favorite snacking and party nut is recognized each year on November 23rd during National Cashew Day.


The cashew nut is a seed harvested from the cashew tree. The tree originated in Northeastern Brazil. However, it is now widely grown in tropical climates for its cashew apples and nuts.

With leathery leaves arranged spirally, the evergreen cashew tree grows as tall as 32 feet high and often has an irregularly shaped trunk. The flowers are small, starting out pale green then turning reddish, with each one having five slender, acute petals.

The largest cashew tree in the world covers about 81,000 sq. ft. and is located in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

Cashew Facts

  • The cashew tree has a fruit called the “cashew apple.” Its fragile skin makes it unsuitable for transport.
  • Latin Americans make a fruit drink from the cashew apple. 
  • The Cashew causes fewer allergic reactions than other nuts or peanuts.
  • Although native to northeast Brazil, the Portuguese took the cashew plant to Goa, India, between 1560 and 1565. From Goa, it spread throughout Southeast Asia and, eventually, Africa.
  • We often see peanuts, pecans, walnuts, and other nuts sold in the shell. Due to the toxic nature of the cashew nut’s shell, this is not possible. 
  • Speaking of the shell, the Cashew is not a true nut. They do not develop a hard wall around the seed as hazelnuts or walnuts do. Cashews instead have a lining around the seed that is filled with a caustic fluid.
  • This nut is an excellent source of antioxidants.
  • It’s also a source of dietary trace minerals: copper, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorous.
  • Cashew oil is a dark yellow oil for cooking or salad dressing pressed from cashew nuts.
  • Many parts of the plant are used for medicinal purposes.

There are so many ways to enjoy this fabulous nut. How will you be celebrating?

Derby Gisclair

Cotton on the Levee

An undated and unattributed photograph from the archives of the Wisconsin Historical Society of a fairly typical scene along the New Orleans waterfront. Longshoremen are dealing with a large cargo of cotton probably bound for Liverpool aboard one of the large ocean-going steamers that line the port. Each of their large hand-trucks carries a 500-pound bale of cotton.

On the left we see the vessel in question being loaded from that starboard side while a tugboat and barge replenish the vessels fuel from the port side.

A recent post referred to the informal competition between the British steamers to see which could carry the largest load of American cotton back to Liverpool. One such ship left New Orleans with December 7, 1882, with 10,361 bales of cotton (5,180,500 pounds), 12,000 bushels of wheat, and 2,650 wooden staves. This cargo was worth $642,000 (about $18.5 million today).

I would hazard a guess that this photograph dates from the 1890s based on others from the period.


Derby Gisclair


537 South Peters Street

The building at 537 South Peters Street in New Orleans has served a variety of purposes over the years. As early as 1915 it was known as the Commercial Warehouse and operated as a wholesale grocery distribution center, managed by Edgar B. Fontaine.

Following the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair, the building came under the control of the Italian American Renaissance Foundation Museum and its founder Joseph Maselli. In 1978 the area behind the building was converted into the Piazza d'Italia on the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Poydras Streets. But it is the American-Italian Cultural Center in this building that is the hidden treasure. Anyone with an interest in Italian heritage and culture should spend an afternoon here.

Ulfhednar Movie Screening

November 25 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Blue Cypress Books hosts a screening of the animated short Úlfhéðnar with local filmmaker Scott Nielsen on November 25th at 6:30pm.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Mr. Nielsen.

This event is free and open to the public and will take place at the bookstore, located at 8123 Oak Street, New Orleans, LA 70118.

Úlfhéðnar: In this animated short inspired by Norse fairy tales, Freki, a villager from a small settlement is attacked while hunting. New perspectives clash with old traditions as his clan reacts to the changes caused by the attack. Following his too-quick recovery Freki attempts to return to life as normal while struggling with dreams that reveal his true nature. Can he control what he is now destined to become?

Úlfhéðnar has been an official selection at over a dozen film festivals including, South African HorrorFest, International SciFi & Fantasy Film Festival, and ScreamFest Horror Film Fest – New Orleans. It was also voted Best Short of the Month at IndieX Film Fest.

Scott Nielsen has been working in entertainment for over 20 years. Starting in regional theater he held many positions including Master Electrician, Technical Director, Musical Director, and Sound Designer. Later working as a Video Editor and Director of Photography, in local news and regional television. In 2020, Scott founded HooDooPhonix Productions, a virtual production company, working to further democratize VFX for filmmaking.

Currently he is working on Spoopy Movie Time which is available on Tubi, and Amazon Prime, and most recently completed his first fully MOCAP’ed film short ULFHEDNAR, his first submission to the festival circuit.

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.

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.

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.”

 

The Children’s Hospital New Orleans Holiday Parade is made possible in partnership with the Downtown Development District, NewOrleans.com, the French Market Corporation, WDSU and many other supporters. 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. The parade will then make its way back to North Peters, turning right on Canal Street, left on Baronne Street, traveling through downtown to Julia Street and ending along St. Charles Avenue in front of Lafayette Square, where the holiday festivities will continue from 1-3 p.m. with music from Rebirth Brass Band, food and more.

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.

Organizers say the River Region Ballet will also feature the main characters from its “The Nutcracker” production marching in the parade.
