NATIONAL GRAND MARNIER DAY

National Grand Marnier Day on July 14 recognizes a liquor that brings citrus notes to cocktails and desserts. Since the 1880s, we've been enjoying the fruits of Grand Marnier's exquisite flavor. 


Alexander Marnier-Lapostolle invented the orange liquor in the 1880s. His grand experiment pairing fruit liquors with cognac took 10 years to find success. When it did, Lapostolle gave birth to one very expensive liquor. The cognac concoction blended one of the most costly fruits of the time with a very strong spirit, too. The result was truly grand. Not only does it add a splash of citrus when mixed into drinks and desserts, but Grand Marnier can be enjoyed neat. 

Grand Marnier is used in a long list of desserts including liquor cream buns, Yule log, cranberry sauce, Crepes Suzette, and Grand Marnier souffle creme bruleé. Grand Marnier is also used in the sauce of the roasted duck dish, Canard a l’Orange.

Some examples of the mixed drinks including Grand Marnier are Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Sidecar, Dirty Harry, Grand Mimosa, B-52, the Grand Marnier Smash, Grand Smash, Smash Marnier, Bloody Smash, Maced Marnier, Ace Marnier Smash, Frosty Smash, Smace, Grand Hound, Blood Pug, Clarke, Nogley and the Grand Marnier Fireball.

Mean Girls - High School Version

Rivertown Theaters - Kenner, LA

The hilarious and poignant Broadway adaptation of Tina Fey’s cult teen movie that delivers sharp wit, catchy songs, and a powerful message about kindness.

July 11 - 21, 2024


Directed by Kelly Fouchi

Mainstage, Run time: ~2 hrs, Rated: PG-13

A high-energy and hilarious Broadway adaptation of the hit 2004 film. The show delves into the perilous world of high school cliques and the challenges of fitting in. It follows Cady Heron, a teenager who moves from Africa to the cutthroat social hierarchy of an American high school. As she navigates the treacherous dynamics led by the infamous "Plastics," Cady learns important lessons about loyalty, friendship, and staying true to oneself. With catchy pop-infused songs, clever lyrics, and witty dialogue, "Mean Girls" captures the zeitgeist of teenage life while offering a witty and satirical commentary on the damaging effects of bullying and societal pressures. This musical spectacle delivers a relatable and empowering message about embracing individuality and kindness.

NATIONAL MAC AND CHEESE DAY

National Mac and Cheese Day earns a place of honor on July 14 as one of the classic comfort foods at America's dinner table.


Made with macaroni noodles, cream or milk, and the golden goodness of cheese, mac and cheese shines as a side dish while also standing on its own as a main dish. This meal reminds many of us of home while also teaching us the basics of the kitchen. What other recipes allow us to create so flamboyantly and often with so little knowledge about cooking?

From the classic mac and cheese with cheddar or American cheeses to the spicy cowboy mac with bacon and jalapenos, there's a combination for everyone. Mix up the cheeses or load up on seasonings. It's easy to get a toasty crust by setting the broiler for a couple of minutes at the end of the cooking time.



Mac and cheese offers a multitude of ways to enjoy it, too. As a soup, it warms us up after a long day. Stuff it inside a meatloaf or a burger for a meal made for a hungry, busy family. Roll up bite-sized bits in bread crumbs and deep fry for mouthwatering appetizers. Put your favorite mac and cheese between two slices of crusty bread. Then put into a panini press for some grilled yumminess. Whether we like it mild or spicy, mac and cheese has us covered.

Besides being simple to make, mac and cheese enables us to experiment with other flavors we enjoy. We break into our kitchen skills with mac and cheese, and it makes us look good. Sometimes the can opener doesn't do that. On July 14th, celebrate mac and cheese not only because we love to eat it, but because it taught us we can cook, too.

9 Obscure Words You'll Want to Start Using Immediately

Language is an ever-evolving tapestry, rich with words that paint our thoughts, emotions, and the world around us. Among the plethora of terms and phrases that make up the English language, there are hidden gems - words so obscure yet so fascinating that they beg to be used. This post is a celebration of such words, a collection of nine obscure terms that you'll want to start using immediately to add color and depth to your everyday conversations.

Sesquipedalian

Sesquipedalian, a word that ironically describes itself, refers to the use of long and complex words. It originates from the Latin 'sesquipedalis', meaning "a foot and a half long." In a playful or humorous context, calling someone or something sesquipedalian can imply that their language is unnecessarily overcomplicated. So, next time you encounter a friend who loves using grandiose language, you might comment on their sesquipedalian style.

Bumfuzzle

Have you ever been so confused or perplexed that you couldn't find the right word to describe your state? Bumfuzzle is your answer. This quirky, vintage term means to confuse or fluster. It's perfect for those moments when life throws something utterly baffling your way. Instead of saying you're confused, say you're bumfuzzled - it's bound to raise a smile or a question, and perhaps both.

Limerence

Limerence is a term for the state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person, typically experienced involuntarily and characterized by a strong desire for reciprocation of one's feelings. The word, coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov in the late 20th century, captures the heady mix of emotional and psychological dependency often found in romantic love. It's a more nuanced term than 'crush' or 'infatuation', perfect for describing those deep, all-consuming feelings.

Agelast

An agelast is someone who never laughs, or who is not amused by things that typically make others laugh. Derived from Greek, where 'gelast' means 'laughing', this word is perfect for describing that one friend or colleague who always remains stoic, no matter how hilarious the situation.

Callipygian

If you've ever wanted a more sophisticated and obscure way to compliment someone's well-shaped buttocks, callipygian is the word for you. It comes from the Greek 'kallos', meaning beauty, and 'pyge', meaning buttocks. This term not only adds a touch of class to your compliments but is also a great example of how language can make the ordinary sound extraordinary.

Quomodocunquize

Quomodocunquize is a verb that means to make money in any way possible. It comes from the Latin 'quomodo', meaning 'in what way', and 'cunque', meaning 'whenever'. It's a fun and fancy word to describe the hustle of someone who's always finding new ways to turn a profit.

Ultracrepidarian

An ultracrepidarian is someone who gives opinions on subjects they know nothing about. The term originates from an ancient Greek anecdote where a shoemaker (crepidarius) is advised not to judge beyond his shoes (ultra crepidam). In an age of social media and instant opinions, this word has never been more relevant.

Defenestrate

Defenestrate, meaning to throw someone or something out of a window, is a word that combines dark humor with historical significance. It originates from the Latin 'de-' (down from) and 'fenestra' (window). While its usage is rare (and its action, hopefully, rarer), it’s a dramatic way to describe a swift and sudden removal or dismissal.

Philocaly

Philocaly is a love or appreciation for beauty, especially in art. It comes from the Greek 'philo-', meaning loving, and 'kalos', meaning beautiful. In a world often overwhelmed with negativity and strife, embracing and acknowledging beauty in its many forms is not just refreshing but necessary. Philocaly isn't just a word; it's a perspective on life.

Conclusion

Words are the colors we use to paint our thoughts and share our experiences. These nine obscure words are just a few strokes in the vast canvas of the English language, offering new hues and shades for your daily conversations and writings. Whether you're a sesquipedalian or someone who appreciates the simpler things in life, there's always room to expand your vocabulary and explore the richness of language. Happy word hunting!

1930-1950s photo printing. I think this is The Monastery of St Joseph and St Teresa was occupied by a cloistered order of Carmelite nuns for over 100 years before the community left the property in the early 1970’s. The Community was by their nature closed to the outside world, so there is very little published history about their life on the site. In fact, official records as early as 1896 attempting to survey the site note “Admission refused. Taken from old map” suggesting that even City officials did not know exactly what was happening on the site.



BACK TO THE 60s & 70s MUSIC & MEMORIES




Neha

In 1906, a 250 horsepower car was an eye catching spectacle. Racing enthusiast Alfred Vanderbilt shows his off while the neighborhood boys ooh and aah looking on. Despite averting a premature death in 1912 by making a last minute decision to not board the Titanic en route to the U.S., Alfred's life did end at sea three years later when the RMS Lusitania was sunk. His legacy could be defined by his last moments where he is said to have taken his life vest off and tied it on to a mother holding an infant when no other vests were available

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, July 15

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.

We're happy to bring a piece of the past back to WYES . GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS, the vintage TV series that began WYES’ legacy of award-winning nationally broadcast cooking shows, returns to the station – 40 years after its debut. Tune in Saturdays at 1pm. The original 26 episodes of GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS will air on WYES, followed by other episodes of the multi-part series every Saturday.

Thanks to executive producer John Shoup for sharing the series (produced and directed by the late John Beyer) with us. It begins Saturday in the kitchen of the legendary Chef Warren Leruth, and you'll see many other local icons below in the weeks to come. For all the episodes, the distinctive voices of Mary Lou Conroy and Andres Calandria narrate, with original music from the Charlie Byrd Trio, the Dukes of Dixieland and Banu Gibson.

The 26-part cooking series, produced by WYES-TV in New Orleans, was shot on location at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant with dishes prepared by younger generations of the Chase family who have led the restaurant since Leah’s death in 2019.

Viewers will meet Leah’s grandson, Edgar “Dook” Chase IV, who now oversees the restaurant’s kitchen; her niece Cleo Robinson, who joined Leah in the kitchen in 1980; and the restaurant’s newest chef, Leah’s great-granddaughter Zoe Chase. Paired with some of the menus are specialty cocktails crafted by Leah’s granddaughter Eve Marie Haydel, the restaurant’s beverage manager who has updated drink recipes from the restaurant’s earlier days. Granddaughter Chase Kamata narrates. Each 30-minute episode explores a new take on Creole classics and a different chapter of the restaurant’s history.

See it every Saturday at 10am & Sundays at 11:30am.

Watch on WYES-TV and stream on wyes.org/live and on the WYES and PBS Apps. Out of WYES’ viewing area? Contact your local public television station for air dates. For a limited time, see new episodes with WYES Passport.

2024 Full Moon schedule

(all times Eastern)


  • July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
  • Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
  • Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
  • Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
  • Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
  • Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon


For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.


Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.

Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.

Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.

Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.

Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.

Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.

Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.

In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.

Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.

Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.

Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 21st, 2024 at 2:00 PM for this Coming to America Lecture.


Join us and listen as Burke Bischoff will present "The Familial History of a German Dairy Farm in Gretna."


The city of Gretna on the Westbank, originally founded as the village of Mechanikham in 1836, served as a home for many German immigrants throughout its history. While a good number of them lived as skilled mechanical workers, some became farmers. This is the story of one family that had developed its own dairy business in 1900 and has kept its roots in Gretna to this day.


Doors open at 1:00 PM. This event is FREE and open to the public. Ample parking is available at the rear of the building. Enjoy delicious German food, tasty beers and a full bar.


Prost!

Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.

The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.

One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”

Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

Another big piece of the Saints 2024 schedule has officially been finalized, with dates and times established for each of the Saints' three preseason games.

The team will have its first two preseason games out west due to their training camp being held in Irvine, California.


Here's how the slate shapes up:

- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)

- P3, Aug. 25: Tennessee Titans at Saints, 1 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

The Saints preseason opponents were announced with the rest of the 2024 schedule earlier in May, but exact dates and times for two of the matchups were left TBD. As is typical with the preseason, start times and days are all over the map. The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.

Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots

Quarter Horse Racing has returned!

We are so excited about the return of Quarter Horse racing to the Fair Grounds. Racing will begin August 15 and conclude on September 14. Join us on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays beginning at 12PM!


The New Orleans Saints will host two open training camp practices for fans once they return from California later this summer.

The Saints announced Monday that the two sessions will take place Aug. 20 and Aug. 23 at Yulman Stadium at Tulane University and at Caesars Superdome, respectively. The times of the practices and fan information will be revealed later.

The announcement came as part of the Saints’ unveiling of their training camp schedule. With the Saints holding camp at the University of California, the Saints will leave for Irvine on Monday, July 22 and stay out west until Aug. 19.



When in Irvine, the Saints will hold two days joint practices with the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 15 and Aug. 16 in leadup to their Aug. 18 preseason showdown at San Francisco. The Saints also have another preseason game a week earlier, when they travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Aug. 10.

The Saints are holding their camp in California this year because of construction updates to their practice facility in Metairie. The team is building a new cafeteria, which is expected to be completed in the fall. Saints officials have said the team’s camp in Irvine will be a one-off, with the plan to have camp at the team’s facility next year.

Practices begin Wednesday, July 24.

New Orleans: The New Orleans Jazz Museum is more than a building; it is a living embodiment of New Orleans Jazz culture and music in New Orleans. This is due to the vision of one person: Greg Lambousy, Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum.

Through Greg Lambousy and his staff’s efforts, the New Orleans Jazz Museum has become the epicenter of the New Orleans Jazz scene. From festivals like the Danny Barker Banjo and Guitar Festival, Satchmo Summerfest, Jazz on the Balcony, Weekly free Jazz performances, and the most significant exhibits relative to New Orleans and early Jazz history presented in the correct cultural context, the City of New Orleans.

To paraphrase the great Professor Longhair, “When you come to New Orleans, be sure to go see the New Orleans Jazz Museum.”.

Presentation, 7:30 PM, August 23 at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center, 1225 N. Rampart St, NOLA. Free Admission RSVP preferred to: festguide@gmail

Greg Lambousy is the Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Before accepting this position, Lambousy was Director of Curatorial Services for the National World War II Museum. He began his career at the New Orleans Museum of Art and later moved to the Louisiana State Museum (LSM). During his twenty-year tenure at the LSM, Lambousy managed the institution’s collections of more than 500,000 artifacts and other historical items, directed improvements to collections storage at the New Orleans Mint, developed conservation and digitization projects across collections and within the Louisiana Historical Center archives, conducted oral histories and guided the selection and accession of materials related to the State’s history. Since 2016, as Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum, Lambousy has led the expansion of the Museum in programming, education, exhibitions, international relations, and the development of the Gallatin Street Records label. Visitation has increased fourfold since 2016, and revenues from grants, sponsorships, and events have funded operations, while capital programs have advanced the development of the Museum’s Performance Center and Herb Alpert Education Wing, among other aspects of the Museum’s campus.
