NATIONAL SNACK STICK DAY
On September 23, National Snack Stick Day encourages you to pack your pockets, backpacks, and desk drawers with yummy snack sticks so you can celebrate!
Primarily made with beef or pork, snack sticks harken back to the days when families preserved quantities of beef, pork, and game. Full of family tradition, they made sausage through smoking and aging. Developed generation after generation, the recipes use premium ingredients and an abundance of love.
These little portions of smoked sausage are a convenient source of protein. Take several you with on a hike or toss one in your gym bag. Snack sticks satisfy mid-morning hunger pangs and are easily shared after school, after work or anytime. With a variety of flavorful choices, snack sticks please the whole family. From sweet to spicy and everything in between, this savory snack fits a busy lifestyle to perfection.

The first spaghetti plots are coming out on what is now Invest 97L. The consensus of models is that they are east of Louisiana, which is good for us right now. We’ll watch the trends as we likely get our first track from the National Hurricane Center on Monday. This won’t be a weak storm, it’s likely to be a strong hurricane so residents between Louisiana and Florida need to stay vigilant.

Woodland Biofuels
-
Canadian company Woodland Biofuels announced a $1.35 billion investment at the Port of South Louisiana to establish the largest renewable natural gas plant in the world
- The facility will take waste wood and sugar cane (bagasse), and turn it into natural gas
- The process will be carbon-negative, leaving less carbon in the atmosphere than before the gas was produced
- The company expects to create 110 direct new jobs with an average annual salary of more than $90,000. Louisiana Economic Development estimates that the project will result in 259 indirect new jobs, and Woodlands Biofuels estimates that the project will create approximately 500 construction jobs
- Partners on the project included Louisiana Economic Development, GNO, Inc., Entergy, Port of South Louisiana, CSRS, and St. John the Baptist Parish
-
A video of Woodland Biofuels CEO Greg Nuttall’s remarks on why the company chose Louisiana can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/1010600517/b65103deea
Louisiana Future Energy Center
-
The Louisiana Future Energy Center, located at the Beach at UNO, will be the physical and symbolic headquarters of the “all-of-the-above” future energy movement for Louisiana
-
On Tuesday afternoon, partners from across GNO, Inc.’s H2theFuture initiative were joined by representatives from the U.S. Economic Development Administration and energy industry leaders for a groundbreaking ceremony for the Louisiana Future Energy Center
- The Louisiana Future Energy Center will include private offices, research space, coworking space, and event areas, creating an environment where private industry, researchers, government, and others will come together to establish Louisiana as the global center for future energy
-
The Louisiana Future Energy Center design was led by EskewDumezRipple+ and construction bids will open by the end of 2024. Construction, slated for completion in fall 2026, is progressing alongside several enhancements at The Beach campus, including renovations to the Lindy Boggs Conference Center, building upgrades, and new landscape features.
Since 2018, the State of Louisiana has seen $60B in planned investments for future energy projects - from oil, to gas, to hydrogen, to wind, and beyond - with the potential to create 27,000 high-paying new jobs.

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.
7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level
This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

"Perhaps" serves as the modern equivalent of the archaic term "haply," which means "by chance" or "possibly." Both words express a sense of uncertainty or possibility, but "perhaps" has become the preferred choice in contemporary language due to its clarity and widespread usage. While "haply" may evoke a sense of antiquity and poetic nuance, "perhaps" is versatile and easily integrated into everyday conversation. It conveys a similar meaning, inviting speculation or consideration without asserting certainty. As language evolves, "perhaps" effectively bridges the gap between historical expression and modern communication, making it a relevant choice for expressing uncertainty today. | |

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, August 19
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

NATIONAL GREAT AMERICAN POT PIE DAY
National Great American Pot Pie Day cooks up a toasty meal on September 23. Warm up the home with a toasty meal of pot pies to celebrate!
Pot pies typically include both a flaky top crust and a bottom crust. Occasionally, recipes omit the bottom crust. Either way, fill them with tender chicken, beef or pork, and lots of vegetables for a hearty meal. Some other delicious fillings include turkey and seafood. Traditional veggies in pot pie include potatoes, carrots, green beans, and peas. Finally, the gravy and seasonings make the pies irresistible. When they begin heating up in the oven, the family knows when dinner is ready!
This crowd-pleaser draws families together. During the cooler days, a meal of pot pie easily uses up vegetables from the garden and leftovers. It fills bellies after a long day of work, too. Several pies may be prepared ahead and frozen, too.
During the crisper evenings, gather friends and family around the table. These hot pies can be made to serve individually or as one large pie. Either way, the aroma fills the home and warms the heart.

Top 5 Fastest Songs to Reach a Billion Streams – The Hits That Conquered the Internet
music
The digital age has not only changed how we listen to music but also how we measure its success. The traditional metrics of album sales and chart positions are now complemented by the number of streams on platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. A song reaching a billion streams is a clear testament to its popularity and appeal. In this post, we'll review the top five fastest songs to reach a billion streams, proving that they indeed conquered the internet.
"Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" is one of the fastest songs to reach a billion streams. Released in January 2017, this catchy pop tune quickly took the world by storm. Its relatable lyrics and infectious rhythm made it a favorite on playlists around the globe. It took only 153 days for "Shape of You" to reach a billion streams on Spotify, setting a new record at that time.
"Hello" by Adele
Adele's powerful ballad, "Hello", from her third studio album, "25", also made its mark in the streaming world. Released in October 2015, "Hello" reached the billion-stream milestone within 87 days on YouTube. The heart-wrenching lyrics, combined with Adele's soulful voice, made this song a global hit. The music video, featuring Adele and actor Tristan Wilds, added another layer of emotional depth, contributing to the song's rapid success.
"Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish's groundbreaking hit "Bad Guy" reached a billion streams in a staggering 111 days. Released in March 2019, this song quickly became a sensation thanks to its unique sound, quirky lyrics, and Eilish's haunting vocals. The music video, featuring Eilish in a series of surreal and visually striking scenes, also played a significant role in the song's success. "Bad Guy" not only marked Eilish's breakthrough but also demonstrated the power of streaming platforms in promoting new talent.
"Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello
A steamy duet between real-life couple Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, "Senorita" reached a billion streams in less than four months. Released in June 2019, this song quickly captivated listeners with its sultry lyrics and catchy melody. Mendes and Cabello's undeniable chemistry, both in the song and its music video, helped "Senorita" become one of the fastest songs to reach a billion streams.
"7 Rings" by Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande's "7 Rings", an anthem of female empowerment and wealth, reached a billion streams in just 59 days on Spotify. Released in January 2019, the song, inspired by a shopping trip Grande made with her friends, quickly found its audience. With its catchy chorus, confident lyrics, and a music video featuring Grande in a lavish party setting, "7 Rings" became a streaming powerhouse, demonstrating Grande's star power and the appeal of her pop-meets-hip-hop sound.
The success of these songs underscores the power of streaming as a measure of a song's popularity and cultural impact. They also highlight how the internet has transformed the music industry, enabling artists to reach global audiences faster than ever before. As streaming continues to grow, we can expect to see more songs join the billion-streams club, setting new records and redefining what it means to be a hit in the digital age.

September 23rd Celebrated History
1845
The first organized baseball team is named the New York Knickerbockers. Thirty-six years before, the knickerbocker word became popular for describing New Yorkers and the style of pants worn by boys – short and tucked in at the knee – when author Washington Irving wrote the satirical book A History of New York from the Beginning of the World to the end of the Dutch Dynasty. The Manhattan-based baseball team was the first to use it for a sports team. However, the name would later apply to the New York basketball team now known as the Knicks.
1848
John Curtis begins selling the first commercially available chewing gum. His product, State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum, would later be joined by flavors named American Flag, Yankee Spruce, White Mountain, Biggest and Best.
1889
Long before Mario the plumber made his appearance, Fusajiro Yamauchi founded Nintendo Koppai, later named Nintendo Company, Limited. The business originally produced playing cards. However, it also dabbled in other businesses, including a taxi company. Does anyone need an Über or a Lyft?
1879
Patent No. 219,828A is granted to Richard S. Rhodes for his invention of an audiphone. The device improved the hearing of those with conductive hearing loss and is considered the first of its kind. While the device successfully transferred sound vibrations through bone, it was cumbersome to use. However, he later modified the invention, earning him a medal in 1883 at the World’s Columbia Exhibition in Chicago.
1911
The mail officially takes flight. Earle Ovington became the first airmail pilot when he carried the mail in his Bleriot “Queen” monoplane. His route ran between Garden City Estates and the post office in Mineola, New York.
1953
Entrepreneurs Norman B. Larsen, Gordon Dawson and John B. Gregory found Rocket Chemical Company. The company produced and marketed WD-40.
1969
The film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid premieres. Directed by George Roy Hill, the movie starred Paul Newman and Robert Redford.
1984
When the Detroit Tigers win 4-1 over the New York Yankees, Sparky Anderson became the first Major League Baseball manager to win 100 games in both the National League and the American League. He started his management career with the Cincinnati Reds.

Curious Chronicles
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬
On a chilly New York day in 1902, Mary Anderson, a determined woman with a sharp eye for problem-solving, watched in frustration as drivers struggled to see through their snow-covered windshields. Inspired, she invented the world’s first windshield wiper. Despite her groundbreaking design—operated from inside the car to easily clear away snow and rain—Anderson faced skepticism. Car manufacturers at the time failed to see its potential, but her invention would later become an essential safety feature for every vehicle. Though her name faded into obscurity, her impact lives on every time wipers clear a driver’s view during a storm.

It’s Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s Manchac & Middendorf’s Slidell! Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September, handmade paper-thin fettuccine is on the menu.
This mouth-watering dish is served with your choice of classic Alfredo or Marinara Sauce and topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with optional add-ons of shrimp, crabmeat and chicken.
- Fettuccine with Alfredo Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
- Fettuccine with Marinara Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
- Optional add-ons:
- Shrimp
- Crabmeat
- Chicken
- Side of Fettuccine topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
Fun Facts:
- Our handmade, paper-thin fettuccine was a guest favorite at Bella Luna in the French Quarter. Bella Luna was a fine dining restaurant owned and operated by Horst and Karen Pfeifer. It closed due to Hurricane Katrina and never reopened. The memory of Bella Luna lives on through Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s. Same Pasta. Same Taste. None of the Fancy.
- Middendorf’s Owner and European Master Chef Horst Pfeifer makes the fettuccine from scratch which consists solely of Semolina flour and eggs. It’s a very time consuming process to make the fettuccine so paper-thin, but it’s definitely worth it.
- Fettuccine is available all day (lunch and dinner).
- Our full menu is also available.
- Uncooked fettuccine is also available for purchase to make a quick meal at home.
We hope you can join us for Fettuccine Frenzy — Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September!
