NATIONAL KISS OF HOPE DAY
Each year on the last Saturday in April, National Kiss of Hope Day encourages couples and parents to express their love for one another. The day also rallies supporters to help be a part of exciting fund-raising ideas to help amazing charities all over the world.
Approximately 40 million people struggle to put food on the table and nearly 2.3 million are at risk of eviction each year. Sometimes a medical condition causes expenses to rise. If the primary breadwinner is laid-off, budgets are stretched. Unexpected repairs to a car or other unplanned expenses make it difficult to make ends meet.
Organizations around the country help those who need to just make it through the month. Food pantries offer supplementary groceries. Others help with shelter in times of need. Some donate services, making repairs.

NATIONAL ZIPPER DAY
National Zipper Day commemorates April 29, 1913, when the patent for the modern zipper was issued. The day celebrates something we often do not think about and may automatically take for granted.
The first attempt at creating the zipper came from the inventor of the sewing machine. In 1851, Elias Howe received a patent for the “Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure.” However, Howe never marketed his invention and missed the recognition he may have received.
Forty-two years later, Whitcomb Judson began selling the “Clasp Locker.” Similar to Elias Howe’s patent, this device served as a more complicated hook-and-eye shoe fastener. Judson started the Universal Fastener Company, where he manufactured his new device and debuted it at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. There he met with very little success. However, Judson earned credit as its creator because he put his invention before the public for sale.
In 1906, the Universal Fastener Company hired Gideon Sundback, a Swedish-American electrical engineer. He was highly skilled and known for his devotion to the company. On April 29, 1913, he was granted a patent for the modern zipper, known then as the “Separable Fastener.” He submitted modifications to his invention in 1917. Today we wear designs quite similar to the ones Sundback created in his patent. While he may have called them a separable fastener, we know them as zippers.
By 1923, B.F. Goodrich popularized the word zipper as it applied to use in the boots and pouches it made. The company even copyrighted the name for a time.

LAFAYETTE,
Anyone looking for a reason to feel proud to be a Louisianian need only make plans to be in downtown Lafayette when this beloved five-day festival returns in full-force to Acadiana, bringing artists from countries the world over—with an emphasis on the Francophone diaspora—to Lafayette. Music, visual arts, theatre, dance, and cuisine combine into a melting pot that celebrates the common threads that bind their cultures and Louisiana's own artistic expressions together. "Festival," as it is simply called by the locals, transforms downtown Lafayette into an entertainment complex with many music stages presenting local, international, and emerging musicians; food court areas, street musicians, and animators; arts & crafts boutiques; art galleries; cultural workshops; and a world music store.
As usual, scores of bands this year are coming from all corners of the globe, and plenty of Louisiana greats are there to make things complete. It's big, it's colorful, and best of all, it's free! festivalinternational.org.
Festival International de Louisiane is a premiere International music and arts festival known for bringing a variety of unique and emerging performers to Louisiana. The 501 (C) (3) organization is committed to maintaining the festival as non-ticketed and free to the general public. The family-oriented event is held each year in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana.

Friday Night Wine School, Premium Sake Selections with Chris Johnson, World Sake Imports
Friday, May 12, 2023
As much as we love sake here at Swirl, we understand that purchasing it can be intimidating - the labels are confusing, the information mysterious - how many times have you looked at sake on display in a store and walked away? It’s just so…foreign. And unfortunately as Americans, most of us are familiar with sake in its most common form – at the sushi restaurant, served in a plain white carafe, and usually piping hot. Drinking this type of low quality, “house” sake warm is a must, as it masks the flaws and takes the sharp edge off some of the harsher flavors. It is generally of the lowest quality, sometimes described as “jet fuel” by sake aficionados.
Premium sake is a lot like quality wine - just like great wines are defined by their terroir, premium sake is defined by local geography, the ingredients (water, rice, koji and yeast), and the personality and skills of the brewmaster, or toji, all of which play a role in shaping the palate. These sakes tend to have much more elegant and subtle flavors carefully curated by the brewers, and heating will potentially destroy those flavors. Depending on the yeast used and the polishing level of the rice, some can be more light and fruity while others more savory and full. It is a complex beverage that is fantastic for food pairings, and not just with Asian food.
Always looking for educational opportunities, we are excited to hold our first sake focused Friday Night Wine School with Chris Johnson from World Sake Imports. Chris is a saké sommelier certified by the Saké Service Institute and a certified WSET Level 3 Saké Educator, and in 2013 earned the distinguished title of Saké Samurai. He'll discuss how sake is made, the different quality levels and styles, along with wine parallels and pairings. We hope you'll join us! Go here to reserve your spots, Premium Sake
Also in the works... Producer focus, Breaking Bread - lower alcohol, food friendly and low intervention wine; Breaking Down Loire, Part III; Umathum Wines from Austria
Love Louisiana Seafood?? Most of you who shop with us know they we just love giving suggestions on food and wine pairings. So when I told the staff I’d like to do a series on staff picks for specific foods and activities, I received some pretty quick answer for what they like to drink with seafood.
Seafood season here in Louisiana kicks into high gear right after Mardi Gras. Partially because of Lent and maybe a little to do with warmer temps and crawfish availability, this time of year is heaven for seafood lovers. How lucky are we to have sources for everything from blue crab to shrimp, crawfish, and oysters, not to mention the abundant selection of fish from drum, to red snapper, redfish, sheepshead, mahi mahi and more? Check out our staff picks here, Our Seafood Friendly Wine Picks
swirl + 1000 figs = yum!!
Did you know you can eat delicious food from 1000 Figs at Swirl? Here's how it works - get a table (indoors or outdoors) at Swirl, order your food at Figs and tell them you have a table at swirl. Order your wine at Swirl and have a seat, sipping on your wine til they bring you plates of heavenly food! How great is that?!?pesto & pigato I can't eat pesto without thinking of its famous home in Italy, the Ligurian coast. A small and breathtakingly gorgeous region, Liguria sits on the Mediterranean Sea in Northwest Italy. And of course the perfect pairing comes in a the form of a local wine made from Pigato...go here for the recipe & pairing, Pesto & Pigatoneed orange?
...we have a few! As the category of natural, minimal intervention wine continues to grow, winemakers are increasingly turning to an age-old winemaking practice in their white wine production. Before we had all of this technology at our fingertips, winemaking in the ancient world was a simple practice - read moreBoozy Drinks Anyone?
We are upping our spirits game this week! Stay tuned for new, exciting additions to our carefully curated selections. I'll be posting inventory and descriptions at the end of the week. Gin, Vodka, Rum, Mezcal, Tequila, Whisky, Vermouths and more! Check out what's available and add them to your next order!Stay safe and be kind...

The Saints stood pat at No. 29, and they landed a big-bodied player at a position of need.
That player is Clemson DT Bryan Bresee, who went one pick after Clemson teammate Myles Murphy, another popular target for the New Orleans Saints. Bresee was a bit of a polarizing figure due to his injury history, but he's undeniably talented, coming out as the No. 1 prospect in 2020.
In three years at Clemson he appeared in 25 games, logging 51 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and 9 sacks.
Bresee also fills a clear need for the Saints, who saw DTs David Onyemata and Shy Tuttle depart to the Falcons and Panthers, respectively.
Round 2, No. 40: Notre Dame defensive end Isaiah Foskey. The 6-foot-5, 264-pounder set the school record for career sacks with 26.5 in four seasons. He had 11 in both his junior and senior years. Foskey is excited for the opportunity to learn from Saints veteran defensive end Cam Jordan.
Foskey: “The Saints picked me because they know they can put me anywhere and they know I’m a disruptive type of defensive end. That’s what I try to do. Because sacks aren’t good enough. If I get a sack, then I’m trying to go for the ball. Get me on the field, I’ll cause havoc.”
-- Round 3, No. 71: TCU running back Kendre Miller. The 5-foot-11, 215-pounder was a one-year starter who managed to rush for 1,399 yards and 17 touchdowns in that single season. An injury prevented him from playing in the national championship game and participating in the NFL scouting combine. But Miller should be 100% by training camp.
Miller: "They're going to pick somebody who's going to tuck that rock that is going to run really fast — really, really fast. Everybody didn't see that, but watch the tape. We're going to see during the NFL season what I do."
How To Watch:
Tune in to NFL Network, ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportes beginning:

Helen Jaksch
Location:
Lower Depths Experimental Theater
In this fresh adaptation by Director and Writer Sara Holdren, a company of performers have to figure out what to do when Romeo runs off with Lady Capulet and leaves their production of R&J two actors short. What about that silly twins play??? Two sets of identical twins are separated at birth. Many years later, on the shores of Ephesus, a father attempts to reunite them. Several cases of mistaken identities, comical mishaps, and hijinks ensue! But never fear...In one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, all's well that ends well.

NATIONAL SHRIMP SCAMPI DAY
National Shrimp Scampi Day on April 29th gives us a tasty way to celebrate. On this day, we honor the delicious dish of shrimp cooked with butter, garlic, lemon juice, and white wine.
Scampi is a culinary term for small lobster known as Nephrops (also known as langoustine or Dublin Bay Prawns) and which is completely unrelated to this day.
The day is wholly dedicated to the buttery, garlicky, lemony, and wine-sauced preparation of shrimp. Prepare the dish using fresh or frozen shrimp. When serving the dish, add a side of noodle or rice, steamed vegetables, and crusty bread or rolls. Shrimp scampi pairs well with white wine. Since the dish is light, a rich dessert of cheesecake or crème brûlée rounds out the meal.

April 29th Celebrated History
1852
Peter Roget publishes Roget’s Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases. The work was the result of decades of collecting lists of words and categorizing them, much like a scientist would collect specimens. The thesaurus was more than a book of synonyms – it was a complete categorization and organization of each word by meaning.
1925
The U.S. National Academy of Sciences elects the first woman, Dr. Florence Rena Sabin to the academy. Dr. Sabin of Baltimore, Maryland was a pioneer in histology and also held the first full professorship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
1986
Roger Clemens strikes out twenty batters in a 9-inning game. He’s the first Major League pitcher to accomplish this milestone. The right-hander achieved the record in a 3-1 win for the Red Sox over the Seattle Mariners. Steve Carlton of the St. Louis Cardinals held the previous record of 19 strikeouts set in 1969.
April 29th Celebrated Birthdays
William Randolph Hearst – 1863
Known for heading up the rivalry between two New York papers that created yellow journalism, William Randolph Hearst’s drive for sensational headlines carried beyond the ink. He also owned newsreel and movie production companies. Much to Hearst’s displeasure, in 1941, Orson Welles released Citizen Kane, a fictionalized biography of Hearst’s life.
Duke Ellington – 1899
The award-winning composer is known as one of the best jazz pianists of the 20th century. His career spanned more than six decades while leading jazz orchestras, playing in big bands, and earning 13 Grammy Awards.
Willie Nelson – 1933
Willie Nelson’s music spans more than five decades. From “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” and “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” to well-received acting performances, Nelson had a reputation as an outlaw country musician while raising money for Farm Aid and other charitable causes.
Andre Agassi – 1970
Andre Agassi put the tennis world in the headlines during the 1990s. Winning Wimbledon

For Steamboat Saturday I wanted to spend a moment on one of the most recognizable design characteristics of a Mississippi steamboat -- not its sternwheel (or sidewheel), but its twin smokestacks. All along the New Orleans riverfront, rows of riverboats moored closely side-by-side, the smokestacks were sometimes the only way to easily identify their vessel. Rising high above the top deck and pilot house, the smoke belching from the smokestacks was also often the first indication to waiting passengers that their boat was arriving. Even on the most ornate riverboats of the Gilded Age, the towering smokestacks with their decorated central rail supports and finial-like tops could be seen from far away. But their primary purpose was not as an early warning system.
Riverboats transporting cotton had to be extremely careful that sparks and hot embers from the boat’s engines, vented by the smokestacks, did not land on the stacked cotton bales and ignite, sending the cargo and the vessel up in flames. For this reason, the smokestacks were often thirty feet or higher to release the smoke and embers high enough into the air so that they would trail behind the boat and fall harmlessly into the river. The majority of the time it worked, but there are instances where stiff winds blew hot embers back onto the riverboat with disastrous consequences.
What is often overlooked is that because of the height of the smokestacks, passing beneath low bridges often limited the range and route of many steamboats unless their smokestacks could be lowered to accommodate safe passage, as illustrated below. With sturdy hinges on the aft side, the smokestacks could be unlocked and gently lowered with ropes and poles. Once clear, the process could be reversed and the boat safely underway.
The great towering smokestacks of the Mississippi River steamboats are forever etched in our memories. In Cincinnati, where many Mississippi River steamboats were built, the architects of the Great American Ballpark paid homage to the city’s steamboat heritage by erecting a series of ornate smokestacks in their outfield. Today’s riverboats have retained their traditional smokestacks, although their function today is far less dangerous.

The Central City business owned and operated by Joseph Federico at 1501 Dryades Street (now Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard) at Melpomene Street looks more like a ladies’ boutique or a small neighborhood theatre than it does a grocery store. Established in 1893 by Joseph Federico, his sons A.J. and Lawrence moved their grocery business to this location on November 27, 1920.
The property was a Pelican Liquor Store before being converted to a Hill Store (which became Winn-Dixie) before becoming the former location of the Dryades Head Start Center Over the years the building lost its entrance canopy and the large picture windows on the ground floor. The exterior has lost its distinctive patterned brick façade and has been painted many times, but the Federico sign is still visible above the entrance. It is directly across the street from the Southern Food & Beverage Museum.
There was also a Federico Grocery at 511 Bourbon Street that was a shoe repair shop before becoming an off-shoot of Takee Outee and since 1994 has been the Razzoo Bar and Patio which, from time to time, held itself out as the Bourbon Street Blues Company or Razoo Smoking Pianos.

FOR THE LOVE OF COLOR!
MUSEUM NOW OFFERS ENCHROMA GLASSES FOR COLOR BLIND AUDIENCES TO EXPERIENCE COLOR
As part of our mission of accessibility and inclusion, Ogden Museum of Southern Art has partnered with EnChroma to make the colors in our artwork accessible to the color blind. Color blind guests can now borrow EnChroma glasses for color blindness at Ogden Museum for the duration of their visit.
Imagine being unable to see all the colors in a beautiful painting, a flower, a sunset, or the color of a loved one’s eyes? While people with normal color vision see over one million shades and hues, those with color vision deficiency only see up to 10% of colors. An estimated 350 million people worldwide are color blind: 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women (.5%). That means that over 1.9 million people in Louisiana and over 160,000 people in New Orleans are color blind and yet until now no museum in the state of Louisiana or in the city of New Orleans included accessibility options for this significant population.
Ogden Museum is proud to be the first museum in Louisiana to offer this new option for color blind guests.
Ask for Enchroma glasses at the front desk when you purchase your tickets to experience our art in full color!
Questions? Learn more about our accessibility accommodations!
Special Thanks to our Partner, EnChroma, for enabling a love of color f

VENDOR OF THE WEEK:
Mycelium Express
If you have been to any of our markets, you will recognize the two masterminds behind Mycelium Express. Rickey and Mike have been growing mushrooms since September of 2018 and have been a beloved part of our market since the Summer of 2019. Rickey and Mike cultivate a wide selection of mushrooms including Oyster, Shiitake, Portobello, Cremini, Lions’ Mane, Coral Tooth, and King Trumpet. They also carry wild foraged mushrooms like Golden Chanterelles and Morels when they are in season, so get them while you can! And not to mention, Rickey and Mike offer grow-at-home kits and specialty tinctures made from their mushrooms. If you haven’t met these “fun-guys”, you can find them every other Tuesday at the Uptown Market, Thursdays at the Mid-City Market, or on Sundays at our City Park Market.

JAZZ @ THE SANDBAR
ANNOUNCES SPRING 2023 SEASON

As Jazz at the Sandbar approaches its 30-year anniversary, it continues to fulfill its mission of providing direct mentoring by acclaimed jazz masters through concert performances with UNO Jazz Studies students.

Ellis Marsalis Documentary Gets New Orleans Premiere Dates
by: VERONIKA LEE
Ellis, an intimate documentary on the late beloved Ellis Marsalis Jr. will make its New Orleans premiere next month at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. German filmmaker Sascha Just, who befriended the jazz pianist during one of her many trips to the city, turned teaching music into a Civil Rights Act and mentored a generation of top musicians while changing modern jazz. The film has screened at Doc NYC Fest and most recently at The American Documentary Film Festival in Palm Springs. The film chronicles how the performer, composer, and educator transcended racial injustices he faced from his childhood during segregation to his death from COVID 19.
OffBeat spoke to Just in 2020, during the fundraising phase of the Ellis Marsalis documentary film, about the musician’s outlook on life. “With one sentence he could say something really wonderful and be so insightful and funny. That was it — just one sentence. I loved how involved he got when he speaks of things he is interested in and how in depth he could go into about these things. Even though I am not a musician he became a role model on how to pursue something…to stick with it and go with what you love,” stated the filmmaker, who resides in New York.
The film includes interviews with Ellis’s sons Wynton, Branford, Ellis III, Delfeayo, and Jason as well as Ellis’s last concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC. Featuring never-before-seen historic footage, the film also contains a solo concert performed by the elder Marsalis exclusively for the film.
Ellis will make its New Orleans premiere Wednesday, May 3 at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, 400 Esplanade Avenue. The event will kick off with a live performance from Jason Marsalis and the E-Quintet followed by the screening at 7:30 p.m.

The one-night only event produced by Yeah You Right Events benefits the PLEASE Foundation, a Louisiana 501(c)(3) that provides mentorship, leadership training, and scholarships for at-risk students to attend local college preparatory high schools in the New Orleans area. Last year’s events raised over $50,000 for the PLEASE students currently attending local college preparatory high schools.
“Thanks to our amazing sponsors and fans, our first Food Fight was super successful,” said event producer Shane Finkelstein. “It’s now one of the biggest chef competitions in the city and a great opportunity to showcase New Orleans’ top chefs and mixologists while raising money for our next generation of local leaders.”
Food Fight fans and celebrity judges choose the winners for Top Classic Dish, Top Creative Dish, Top Vegetarian Dish, Top Classic Cocktail and Top Creative Cocktail. Fest-goers will also enjoy creative pop-up bar areas and DJ lounges, spirit tastings, top local bands, burlesque by Trixie Minx, and additional eye-popping visual elements.
Confirmed competitors for Food Fight Champion include Apolline, The Chloe, Deanasco’s, Los Jefes Grill, Mahoney’s Poboys & Seafood, Messina’s, Saint John, Soulé Cafe, Tava Indian Street Food, and Wishing Town Bakery. Spirit sponsors include Casamigos, Crown Royal, Hard Hide Strawberry Whiskey, Jack Daniel’s, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Ketel One, Makers Mark, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, Tres Generaciones, and Who Dat Spirits.
The Food Fight VIP Experience presented by William Grant & Sons includes open bar, food tastings by James Beard nominated chef Michael Gulatta of Maypop, Hendrix Gin and Milagro Tequila cocktails by the bar team at Meril’s, plus gourmet desserts, and additional entertainment including James Andrews and Honey Island Swamp Band.
Food Fight ticketing options include $135.00 VIP, $105.00 Early Entry/First Tasting and $85.00 General Admission. Early Bird discounted tickets go on sale March 12th starting at $55. Once inside the festival, all food and drinks are included. Visit www.foodfightnola.com for more information.

This year’s goal is to double last year’s amount and raise over $100,000 for the PLEASE Foundation so they can continue to do the important work they do in our community.
