⚜️ “Bless Their Hearts: The Saints Season So Far…”


Well, folks… it’s been a season. Not the one we hoped for, but definitely one we’ll remember—if only for the creative ways we’ve learned to say “maybe next year.”


From missed field goals to mystery play calls, the Saints have kept us guessing. And while the scoreboard hasn’t always been kind, our loyalty never wavers. Because being a Saints fan isn’t just about wins—it’s about faith, flair, and fried food.


🏈 Signs You’re a True Saints Fan This Season:

  • You’ve yelled “WHO DAT” at the TV… even when we’re down by 20.
  • You’ve considered offering gumbo as a peace offering to the football gods.
  • You’ve mastered the art of hopeful sighing.
  • You’ve started referring to the Superdome as “The House of Emotional Growth.”


🍗 Game Day Survival Tips:

  • Keep the snacks spicy and the drinks strong.
  • Wear your lucky socks—even if they haven’t worked YET.
  • Celebrate the small victories: a good punt, a completed pass, a referee who doesn’t ruin your Sunday.
  • Play Saints Bingo during the game. I've included a few cards to help pass the time. Click here to download the pdf and print them.


💬 Community Corner:

We may not be playoff-bound, but we’re bound together. Share your favorite Saints memes, game-day rituals, or creative coping strategies—we’ll feature the best in next month’s newsletter. Send them to: jean@nolawindowcleaningandtint.com.

NOLA Hack of the Month: The Roux Rescue


The Situation: You’re halfway into cooking gumbo and your roux is looking… suspicious. Maybe it’s too dark, maybe it’s starting to burn, maybe you got distracted by the Saints game.


The Hack: Add a splash of room-temperature beer to cool it down and loosen it up. Yes—beer. Preferably a light local brew like Abita Amber. It adds depth, saves your roux, and keeps the flavor on point.



Bonus Move: Keep a wooden spoon with a flat edge on hand—it scrapes the bottom of the pot better than a rounded one and helps prevent scorching in the first place.


Why It’s So NOLA: Because we don’t waste roux. We rescue it. And if beer’s involved, even better.

Football Games Need Great Food
