NATIONAL HUG & HIGH 5 DAY
Two things that make us feel appreciated and loved are free. A hug and a high 5. That's why on September 12, we celebrate National Hug & High 5 Day!
When we celebrate a job well done, an accomplishment, or meeting a goal, high fives among our friends and peers make the milestone even sweeter. And the hug - well, the hug is that little bit extra, the solid human contact that says more than words ever could.
Hugs and high fives also act as encouragement on our journeys. We struggle to reach our objectives and understand our purpose. Life throws obstacles in our way, and we cannot always see what is on the other side of the mountain. But along the way, friends and even strangers sustain us with their support. It comes in many forms, but often it comes in a wealth of hugs and high fives.
hen tragedy strikes, hugs are what hold us up when we think it's impossible and high fives renew our faith in each other, reminding us of a higher power and returning smiles to our faces.
National Hug & High 5 Day connects us and encourages us to share a hug and high five with a friend, a neighbor, a stranger, or anyone who needs one.

A lingering mist or drizzle is possible this morning but all the heavy rain squalls have lifted north into Mississippi. Slowly a clearing line will come through bringing increasing sun into this afternoon. More sun means warmer temperatures as highs trend back to the middle 80s today. The breeze will be nice for those with power loss.
That breeze starts to subside the next few days and we get hotter. Highs could top out near 90 by the weekend. Rain chances remain low for the next several days.

Description
This striking cross pendant was once owned and worn by the iconic Elizabeth Taylor. Embodying her irresistible Hollywood glamour, the blue enamel and diamond pendant designed by British bespoke jeweler Theo Fennell is almost as stunning as Taylor herself.
Known for his eye-catching designs and one-of-a-kind commissions, Fennell crafted this cross pendant with brilliant blue enamel and 18K yellow gold embellished with delicate floral motifs. Accented with five white diamonds of F-G color and VS clarity and accompanied by its 14K yellow gold chain, this cross pendant still makes as bold a statement today as it did when Elizabeth Taylor wore it.
Renowned not only for her unforgettable roles in films like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cleopatra and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Taylor was also celebrated for her extraordinary jewelry collection. Her assemblage, among the most significant in the world, featured iconic masterpieces from Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, JAR, Bulgari and other distinguished design houses. This necklace is further elevated by its provenance as a part of Kathy Ireland's collection. Ireland, a prominent figure who seamlessly transitioned from supermodel to dynamic businesswoman, has leveraged her brand's influence to become a major force in fashion and home furnishings. Alongside Taylor, the two have redefined the concept of "Hollywood Icon."
Stamped "Fennell"
Pendant: 3" long x 1 5/8" wide
Chain: 31" long

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!

NOLA Public Schools to Close Wednesday & Thursday
(New Orleans – — NOLA Public Schools (NOLA-PS) has announced that all schools and the Central Office will be closed on Wednesday, September 11, and Thursday, September 12, as a precautionary measure ahead of Tropical Storm Francine’s expected landfall.
Additionally, all schools will have early dismissal on Tuesday, September 10, to allow families and staff time to prepare for the storm. Families are encouraged to contact their individual schools for specific dismissal times. For The Leah Chase School, the district’s only direct-run school, early dismissal will be at 12:30 PM on Tuesday.
Tuesday and Wednesday’s closures are intended to provide families adequate time to make necessary preparations and stay safe, particularly in light of potential flooding and other hazards in the aftermath of the storm.
NOLA-PS will continue to closely monitor the storm’s progress and work with local and state officials to address recovery efforts. District leaders will assess the impact of the storm on Thursday and share reopening plans once evaluations are complete.
We urge everyone to remain alert and follow updates from the City of New Orleans. All storm-related announcements will be posted on the NOLA-PS’ website and official social media channels.
Stay safe and continue to monitor official sources for further information.

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE DAY
National Chocolate Milkshake Day on September 12 brings chocolate and ice cream lovers together. Forget the calories for just this one day and enjoy a sweet tall, thick and delicious, chocolate milkshake!
The term milkshake first appeared in print in 1885. During this period, a milkshake was referred to as an alcoholic beverage described as a "sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink" blended with eggs, whiskey, and other ingredients. Pharmacies served the drink as a tonic and a treat to customers. By 1900, pharmacies offered this "wholesome drink" with either chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrup.
- The early 1900s – People began asking for this "new treat" with a scoop of ice cream.
- 1911 – Hamilton Beach's drink mixers began to be used at soda fountains.
- 1922 - Steven Poplawski invented the electric blender or drink mixer.
- Due to the invention of the blender, the milkshake began to take a chipped, aerated, and frothy form as they are today.
- By the 1920s & 1930s, milkshakes became a popular drink at malt shops everywhere.
Another addition to the milkshake was malted milk powder. Made from malted barley, wheat flour, and dehydrated whole milk, malted milk tastes a bit like toasted caramel. It made its debut around the 1870s as a shelf-stable dry milk product. Add the powder to a chocolate milkshake, and transform the creamy goodness into a malted chocolate milkshake. Along with milkshakes, malted milk milkshakes became popular drinks at soda fountains around the 1920s.

Here a beautiful carriage and buggy "moseys along" with brave children on St. Claude Avenue, perhaps the late 1800's. (of course, the horse was told to stand still for the photograph!).

Several cast members will perform with real instruments live onstage at Jefferson Performing Arts Center September 13-22, 2024.
Based on the 2003 movie, School of Rock: The Musical tells the story of Dewey Finn, a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school who turns his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.

Nathan (Dewey) and four youth performers will be playing their instruments live on stage: Merah Benoit (Katie) will play bass guitar, Drago Han (Lawrence) will play keyboards, August Doussan (Freddie) will play drums, and Andrew Letellier (Zack) will play guitar. Some of the youth musicians are making their acting debuts (August Doussan) while others are seasoned performers (such as Merah Benoit) who are learning their instruments for their roles in this show.

Playmakers Theater been producing terrific shows from Covington’s Sans Souci Forest since 1955. This Saturday we raise the curtain on our 70th season with the uproarious comedy ‘Til Beth Do Us Part, by Jones Hope Wooten, the same team that wrote 2023’s sellout hit, The Savannah Sipping Society. Directed by Derek Thrush, the madcap comedy revolves around an ambitious, conniving assistant who attempts to take over her harried boss’s business and her husband.
‘Til Beth Do Us Part is a side-splitting comic romp about careens around the strained marriage of Gibby and Suzannah, a couple who have allowed their 27-year marriage grow stale. When new assistant Beth steps in the fireworks begin. Whether you’re married, single, rethinking your divorce or currently being controlled by someone up to no good, you’re sure to enjoy this family friendly, laugh-out-loud comedy.
The cast features Joanna Parr, Shawn Patterson, Stephanie Sayles, Jen Patterson, Laura Hayes, Daniel Jenkins, and Nada Elkassouf. Assistant director is Jen Patterson.
There will be some important changes at Playmakers Theater beginning this season. Evening curtain times will be 7:30 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. to help patrons navigate bridge construction traffic. We will also be adding Friday evening performances. And Playmakers will once again offer reserved seating.
Season tickets are available for $130 and on sale now at BonTempsTix.com at the “Get Your Season Tickets Now” link below. Individual tickets for ‘Til Beth Do Us Part are $20 and also available at the BonTempsTix.com “Get Your Tickets Now” link below.

FNWS - Meet & Taste with Importer Mary Taylor
We are excited to have Mary Taylor back at Swirl for this exclusive tasting event! Mary Taylor is a wine importer known for curating and importing a selection of European wines under her label, "Mary Taylor Wine." Her focus is on wines that reflect the true character of the regions and vineyards they come from, emphasizing authenticity, terroir, and tradition. She works closely with small, family-owned wineries in Europe, particularly in France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, to bring unique and high-quality wines to the U.S. market.
Her approach is to offer wines that are not only representative of their origins but also affordable and accessible to a wider audience. Mary Taylor's label often highlights the appellation and the producer, providing transparency about the wine's origin and making it easier for consumers to explore and understand European wines.
Tonight, Mary Taylor, champion of lesser-known AOCs, will personally guide you through a curated selection of European wines, each chosen for its distinct expression of terroir and tradition. Learn the stories behind the wines—from the families who have been cultivating these unique grapes for generations to the production methods that preserve their authenticity. We hope you'll join us!

Our live music classes with local musicians and culture bearers, as well as our overall emphasis on music appreciation is what makes our lessons stand out among the rest!
Starts at The Contemporary Arts Center!
6-7pm Intro to Swing
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.
No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

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.
