CHOCOLATE MACAROON DAY
June 3 is National Chocolate Macaroon Day on the National Day Calendar. Today, we are celebrating the tasty mix of chocolate in our macaroons!
sweetened and sometimes toasted. Other ingredients include flour, sugar or sweetened condensed Macaroons are made from shredded coconut, usually sweetened and sometimes toasted, flour, sugar or sweetened condensed milk, and egg whites. Once the ingredients are combined, the mixture is dropped by spoonfuls onto baking sheets and baked. But, since today is Chocolate Macaroon Day, chocolate is added to the batter to make a sweet sensation even sweeter.
Sweet History
The macaroon originates from Italy and means means paste. When macaroons were first created it was common practice to make them with almond flour, which is much cheaper and easier to come by than coconut. Eventually, shredded coconut replaced the almond flour. Because they did not contain any flour, Jews in Italy ate them as treats during Passover. These cookies are now a traditional Passover treat in Jewish households throughout the world.
Macaroon seem more like a cake than a cookie. In fact, one of the very first mentions of the macaroon in America was in a cookbook called, “Mrs. Esther Levy’s Jewish Cookery Book” in 1871. The cookbook was the first Jewish cookbook published in America. The cookbook had no category for cookies, so the macaroon recipe was placed in the cake chapter.
In 1903, macaroons appeared in another cookbook under a recipe for “coconut kisses.” Around this time, coconut had become a symbol of success to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Just as macaroons were a Passover treat in Italy, they had become the same for Jews in America. Today, these cookies aren’t just a favorite for Jewish Americans, but all Americans. In fact, macaroons made one popular website’s top 16 list of “All-time Favorite Cookies.” Today, macaroons are enjoyed by people in many countries across the globe.

No. 2 seeded LSU baseball is one win away from hosting a super regional at Alex Box Stadium, defeating No. 1 North Carolina 8-4 at Boshamer Stadium on Sunday evening in the Chapel Hill regional to earn its second victory of the day and play in a do-or-die third game with the Tar Heels on Monday.
"I think they believe in themselves at a high level, playing as well as we have for the past month and a half," LSU coach Jay Johnson said. "They should believe in themselves."
First pitch is set for 5 p.m. but television information has yet to be announced. No. 1 Arizona and No. 2 Dallas Baptist have been eliminated in the Tucson regional, meaning that the winner of Monday's game will host No. 3 West Virginia or No. 4 Grand Canyon in the super regionals.
But before any of that was possible for LSU, the Tigers took down No. 3 Wofford 13-6 on Sunday afternoon to play its way to Sunday night's rematch with the Tar Heels. Their pitching stepped up in both victories, but it was the LSU offense that was the difference in winning both legs of the double header.

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS ANNOUNCES MONTHLY AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT INFORMATION SESSIONS
NEW ORLEANS — On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law. The $1.9 trillion package is designed to directly combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts to states and municipalities. The City of New Orleans received $388 million in ARPA funds, and as of February 2024, $245 million has been spent and another $48.5 million has been obligated, representing 76 percent of the City’s total appropriation.
The ARPA Implementation Team will begin holding monthly ARPA Information Sessions at libraries throughout New Orleans. The information sessions will be an opportunity to share updates on ARPA funded projects, share upcoming funding opportunities, answer questions from stakeholders and connect New Orleanians with agencies who have received ARPA funds. Details on the information sessions are included below.
June Information Sessions:
- June 3, 5 - 7 p.m. East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.) – Large Meeting Room
- June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Algiers Regional Library (3014 Holiday Dr.) – Small Meeting Room
- June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Milton H. Latter Library (5120 St Charles Ave.) – Dining Room
- June 5, 5 - 7 p.m. Robert E. Smith Library (6301 Canal Blvd.) – Meeting Room
- June 6, 5 - 7 p.m. Nora Navra Library (3001 Gentilly Blvd.) – Meeting Room
The ARPA Implementation Project Management Office (ARPA PMO) was established in the Fall of 2023 to ensure ARPA funds are spent in full compliance with federal guidelines and to support Departments in spending their ARPA allocations. The ARPA PMO provides oversight, risk assessment, management and monitoring compliance of ARPA funds to ensure projects are designed to be on time and meet goals and compliance mandates.
For further information and updates on the City's ARPA investments and initiatives, contact City’s ARPA team at arpa@nola.gov or visit the official website at nola.gov/arpa/.

What does "reprehensible" mean?
Difficult
Blameworthy
Restricted

What does "reprehensible" mean?
Blameworthy
reprehensible Pronunciation: /ˌrɛprɪˈhɛnsəb(ə)l/
Definition: Deserving strong criticism or condemnation; deserving punishment.
Origin: Late Middle English: from Old French, from Late Latin reprehensibilis, from Latin reprehendere 'seize, censure' (see reprehend).
Example: The politician's reprehensible behavior was exposed in the media, leading to his resignation.
Blameworthy is a synonym for reprehensible. It refers to something that is worthy of blame or deserving of censure. When someone's actions are considered blameworthy, they are seen as being responsible for wrongdoing and deserving of criticism or punishment. Blameworthy behavior can range from minor transgressions to serious offenses, but it always involves some degree of culpability or fault. The term can be applied to individuals, organizations, or even entire societies, depending on the context. In essence, blameworthy behavior is any action that is deemed to be morally or ethically problematic and deserving of condemnation.

Join us Monday, June 3rd at 6:30pm as we celebrate Carla Seyler’s book, A Place Unmade.
The discussion and reading will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing.
Books may be purchased in-person, via phone before the event or in-person during the event.
This event is free and open to the public. It will be held upstairs at our shop.
A Place Unmade is a book about someone who commits a crime, causes a disaster and the people who try to stop him.
Valentina Sorelli is a part-time graduate student and full-time marketing director of a community park in New Orleans. Jack Stillman is a corporate executive who hijacks his company’s research for personal gain, and he doesn’t care about the consequences. Their separate paths intersect when Valentina meets Jack’s son Sam, who becomes the link between the worlds of scientific discovery and corporate espionage.
As the story unfolds, Valentina and her classmates unite to try to stop Jack. They get a little help from a corporate whistleblower as well as the FBI. Valentina’s friendship with one of her classmates evolves into something more as they fight for their lives. A Place Unmade takes the reader on a provocative journey into the dangers lurking in our decreasing lack of biodiversity and patentable genetics.
Carla Seyler is the author of A Place Unmade, her debut novel. She hopes there will be many more books in her future, as she has wanted to be a writer since she was seven. She grew up in a large New Orleans family steeped in the rich and sometimes warring cultures of Italian American and Acadian French immigrants. Always loving, usually loud. She read constantly as a child and preferred that to almost anything.
A graduate of the University of New Orleans (UNO) and Loyola University, Seyler studied psychology and counseling. She worked in the field of vocational rehabilitation counseling for many years and began writing in 2020.
International Thriller Writers (ITW) has selected Carla Seyler as a member of their debut author program, Class of 2023/2024.

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, June 3
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.

NATIONAL EGG DAY
National Egg Day falls on June 3 on the National Day Calendar and it's a perfect time to get a crack on celebrating this food holiday.
Eggs are a nutrient-rich food that has gone back and forth with science and nutritionists over the decades with people asking how many eggs are too many for a healthy diet. Whatever the decision is this year, we know one egg provides an excellent source of protein and vitamin D. At 75 calories and 5 grams of fat, it's an easy choice to satisfy hunger, too.
5 Egg-celent Facts
- About 100 billion eggs are produced by American egg farmers each year.
- Fresh eggs are hard to peel.
- The average American consumes about 285 eggs a year.
- Egg shells can have more than 17,000 pores.
- Storing eggs upside down makes them last longer.
Eggs are easily seasoned and pair well with vegetables to increase the nutritional value of a meal. Eggs are an essential ingredient to baked goods and are a part of our everyday diets. There's so much to celebrate in these small packages.

The Top 5 Longest Words in the English Language
English is a language rich in vocabulary, with thousands of words to choose from to express even the most complex of ideas. And among these words, some are particularly impressive because of their sheer length. Here are the top 5 longest words in the English language.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters)
This word refers to a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica particles, such as those found in volcanic dust. It is the longest word in any English language dictionary and was originally coined as a joke.
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (36 letters)
This ironic word is a fear of long words itself. It’s also known as sesquipedalophobia, which is a lot easier to pronounce.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (34 letters)
This word was popularized by the 1964 musical movie Mary Poppins. It’s used to describe something that is extraordinarily good, although the actual meaning is unclear.
Floccinaucinihilipilification (29 letters)
This word means “the act of estimating something as worthless.” It’s often used to criticize something that someone else has said or done.
Antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters)
This word refers to opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England as the official state church. It was originally coined in the 19th century during a political debate in England.
In conclusion, the English language is full of incredibly long and complex words that can sometimes seem overwhelming to learn. While these five words might not be the most practical for everyday use, they’re certainly a testament to the creativity and diversity of the English language.

Hedy Lamarr, often proclaimed “the most beautiful woman in the world.” The 26-yr-old Lamarr was thriving in Hollywood when, in September 1940, Nazi U-boats hunted down & sank a cruise ship trying to evacuate 90 British schoolchildren to Canada. 77 drowned in the bleak north Atlantic. Lamarr, a Jewish immigrant from Nazi-occupied Austria, who had been making America her home since 1938, was outraged. She fought back by applying her engineering skills to development of a sonar sub-locator used in the Atlantic for the benefit of the Allies. The principles of her work are now incorporated into modern Wi-Fi, CDMA and Bluetooth technology, and this work led to her to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

City of a Million Dreams
Film: The Mystery of the New Orleans Jazz Funeral
Thursday, June 13
Why do we dance for the dead? To most people, jazz funerals are a mystery.
The marching band leads the procession of grief to the slow dirges, sorrow songs, and after burial the jazzmen kick into up tempo parade anthems, the soul’s “cutting loose” for the second line of dazzling street dancers. How did these funerals arise? What do they tell us about New Orleans today? In “City of a Million Dreams”, a documentary film, Jewish writer and videographer Deb Cotton and prolific clarinetist Michael White take us on a journey from the jazz funeral's roots in the danced memory of enslaved Africans through its integration with European marching bands, from Katrina through the recovery of parading culture, celebrating its complex modern legacy and searching for the soul of New Orleans.
This is an in-person, paid event. The screening will be followed by a talk from filmmaker Jason Berry.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- June 21 — 9:08 p.m. — Strawberry Moon
- 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.

Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
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.
