NATIONAL BOBBLEHEAD DAY

Each year on January 7th, National Bobblehead Day recognizes a day of celebration for all spring-connected head bobbing figurines.

For over 100 years, bobbleheads have been entertaining and fascinating fans and collectors. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, too. Bobbleheads commemorate iconic teams, movies, and cartoon characters. Individually, they represent some of our most exciting athletes or thrilling television and movie characters. 

Early bobbleheads, known as bobbers or nodders, developed from Germany. They took root in the United States pop culture in the 1950s and 60s. Bobbleheads resurged in the late 1990s when professional sports teams began using them as promotional items. Today, as toys and collectibles, bobbleheads continue to amuse and captivate us. 

Open on Sundays AND Mondays?! Yes, please!

 The Christmas season has come to a close, and you might be wondering what to do with your tree.

Jefferson Parish officials are reminding residents of its Christmas tree recycling program as residents get ready to ring in the new year.

According to the parish, residents in unincorporated Jefferson Parish and the Town of Jean Lafitte can bring real Christmas trees with no lights, garland, tinsel, ornaments, tree stands or plastic bags to 400 David Drive or 6440 Lapalco Blvd. from Jan. 4 through Jan. 14.

Parish officials also said residents can place their trees on their curbs on Wednesday, Jan. 8, to be collected on Jan. 9, 10 or 11.

Flocked, painted and artificial trees will not be collected.

Parish officials said the recycled trees will be used to build wave-dampening fences to reduce coastal erosion in the Barataria Basin.

2025 NOCCA King Cake Menu

• Gluten-Free Cinnamon: This is ideal for anyone who loves the taste of a classic New Orleans king cake but can't do gluten. Soft and pillowy inside, with a not-too-sweet cinnamon ribbon and crust, vanilla glaze, and shimmery edible glitter, this is a cake for everyone to enjoy!
• Satsuma Almond: This king cake is made with rich almond paste and tart, tangy Louisiana satsumas. It's braided with a brioche-style dough, glazed with even more satsuma, and dusted with purple, green, and gold edible glitter. Give it as a gift or enjoy it yourself.
• Salted Caramel Apple: This king cake is spiced apples and lightly sweetened cream cheese in a brioche dough, glazed with salted caramel, and finished off with crunchy caramel bits and edible glitter. It's like a whole Carnival parade in a box, and is available through January 26, 2025.
• Additional limited-edition flavors will be announced at a later date, including a special Valentine's Day King Cake.

All proceeds support NOCCA's Culinary Arts program, helping cultivate the next generation of New Orleans culinary talent. The partnership with French Truck Coffee adds an extra dimension, with their special "Big Chief" Carnival blend benefiting the NOCCA Foundation.

Kinnikinnick-infused, Infused with a plant that is used for smoking and has medicinal properties, adding a unique and flavorful twist to culinary creations ...

Kick off the new year with two food/cocktail demonstrations at the Jefferson Parish Library – one on each bank of the river – with a culinary journey back in time to 1812. These sessions will pay homage to the Battle of New Orleans upon it's 213th anniversary.

Nora Wetzel, a local chef who specializes in the cuisine of southern France, will discuss what foods were consumed at the time of the war against the British and she will demonstrate a dish made at that time. Elizabeth Pearce, a local mixologist and director of “Drink and Learn,” will also talk about the drinks consumed in that era, and she will demonstrate a cocktail.

Join us for a tasty education:

Tuesday, January 7, 6:30 pm – East Bank Regional Library (4747 W. Napoleon Avenue in Metairie)

Tuesday, Jan. 21, 6:30 pm – West Bank Regional Library (2751 Manhattan Blvd. in Harvey)

These events are free of charge and are open to the public.

Patrons will be allowed to sample the dishes that are prepared during the demonstration. However, these demonstrations are not intended to serve as meals for those in the audience. Food will not be sold. Patrons younger than 21 years of age may not be served alcohol.

Wetzel began her professional career as a registered nurse and CPR instructor, which led to teaching heart-healthy programs as well as consulting to offshore-catering companies in the Gulf of Mexico. Wetzel has been a member of the New Orleans chapter of the American Culinary Federation and the New Orleans chapter of the American Institute of Wine and Food. She was active for 10 years in the 19th-century open-hearth cooking program at the historic Hermann-Grima House.

Elizabeth Pearce is a Louisiana native and cocktail historian who tells the story of New Orleans through its iconic beverages. She was named a “2017 Person to Watch” by New Orleans Magazine. Pearce is the host of the Drink & Learn podcast, the author of Drink Dat New Orleans, a guide to bars across the city, and a co-author of The French Quarter Drinking Companion, a narrative guide to 100 notable bars in America’s most eclectic neighborhood. She is the Education Specialist for the Sazerac liquor company.

NATIONAL TEMPURA DAY

On January 7th, National Tempura Day encourages us to celebrate with a dish made with a tempura batter. This Japanese fare includes either seafood or vegetables dipped in batter and deep-fried. 

Where did tempura originate? No one really knows. What we do know is back in 1549, Portuguese sailors arrived in Japan and introduced a way of battering and frying food that is now infused into the culture.

Today, chefs all over the world include tempura dishes on their menus. They use a wide variety of different batters and ingredients, including nontraditional broccoli, zucchini, and asparagus. Chefs also dip dry fruits in a tempura batter too. In addition, some American restaurants serve chicken and cheeses, particularly mozzarella, in a tempura style.

For sushi lovers, a more recent variation of tempura sushi provides a new way of enjoying the delicacy. Shushi chefs tempura fry entire pieces of delicate sushi and serve it on a beautiful platter.

La Cuisine Restaurant

Located at 225 West Harrison Avenue in the Lakefront area of the city, La Cuisine was established in the late 1960s by Joe Martin and Lete Bouillion, later owned and operated by the Saladino family, father to daughter to husband. The menu featured a little bit of everything --- part French-Creole, part Italian, but all New Orleans. You could get everything from trout almondine to red beans and rice. Locals packed the place nightly until ten feet of water invaded the premises during Hurricane Katrina. Photograph by Ric Francis, The Times-Picayune.

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,January 13

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.

See you in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX on FOX

Just two days after Super Bowl LIX, Jefferson Parish will celebrate its 200th birthday on Feb. 11. Bicentennial festivities kicked off at the State of Jefferson address Tuesday with the unveiling of the official poster, depicting a pelican before the Mississippi River in vivid pink and blue hues. It is illustrated by Louisiana artist Becky Fos, known for designing the 2023 state "I Voted" sticker, modeled after the Louisiana state flag.

A limited supply of signed and numbered posters can be purchased for $150, with proceeds going toward the Jefferson Community Foundation.

The parish will celebrate the bicentennial on Feb. 11 with a Light the Night event, followed by a community-wide king cake party at Lakeside Mall on Feb. 15.

The following month, a bicentennial-themed Senior Expo will take place at the Alario Center on March 20, and a "Park to Park" 10K run will happen March 22 at Lafreniere Park.

Festivities for the parish's 200th birthday will come to a close June 14 with the Bicentennial Ball at Lakeside Mall, hosted by the Jefferson Community Foundation. Lee Sheng said she wanted parish events to involve the entire community and asked residents and local business owners to get involved.

"I want our bicentennial to feel like everybody's a part of it," Lee Sheng said in her address.
