NATIONAL DOUGHNUT (DONUT) DAY

Each year on the first Friday in June, people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day. This food holiday celebrates the delicious doughnut and honors the Salvation Army Lassies. In case you didn't know, the Salvation Army Lassies are the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI.

National Doughnut Day origins begin during WWI, which is also referred to as the First World War. Over 4 million U.S. men and women served during the war, with almost 3 million of those serving overseas. With conflicts taking place in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the Pacific, WWI was most difficult for troops fighting on the front lines.

In 1917, a group of women were sent to the front lines in France by The Salvation Army. They were directed to set up field bases near the front lines to try to boost morale among troops. The makeshift "huts" were a place where soldiers could stock up on necessities and get a small break from the fighting. Little did they know The Salvation Army Lassie's would not only boost morale, but make history in the creation of one of the most celebrated food holidays.

The women who were working at the field bases felt they wanted to do more than simply restocking troop supplies. They began making home-cooked food for the troops in hopes the food would give them a small taste of home. It was during this time, the Lassies began handing out a sweet baked treat that would become known as The Salvation Army Doughnut. The story says the doughnuts were cooked inside the helmets of the troops, dubbing them as "doughboys", which was a standard term used for donut. The Donut Lassies are said to be reason we have National Doughnut Day today!

On this day, many bakeries and coffee shops in the United States offer doughnut deals to their customers.

NOMA AT NIGHT LINE-UP

Live Performance from The Jump Hounds

in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts at 7:30 pm

The Jump Hounds is a New Orleans-based sextet that specializes in ‘jump’, the jazz-based rhythm and blues that bridges the gap between swing and rock & roll. To keep this often overlooked style of music alive, the band plays a mix of Jump Era classics and original compositions within the idiom. The result is a repertoire that balances energetic uptempo numbers, slow blues, and cozy mid-tempo swingers. This breadth of material makes for dynamic live shows that are tailored to the audience.

Live Piano Performance from Joe Krown

in the Great Hall at 6 pm

Joe Krown is a Hammond-endorsed artist and is part of the Hammond artist family. He’s played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival every year since 2001 and the French Quarter Festival every year since 1998. In 2014, Krown was honored with a Piano Legacy Award, presented by the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra for being a “Master of Piano.” He is currently touring all over the U.S. and the world as the organ/piano player for the multi-award-winning, chart-topping Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band.

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DAY

National Chocolate Ice Cream Day falls on June 7 and all you need for this food holiday is chocolate ice cream. Whether you eat it in a bowl, with a cone, or directly out of the container, National Chocolate Ice Cream Day is a day for everyone.

Chocolate ice cream has been around since the late 19th century. This ice cream flavor is the second most common flavor in the world, right behind vanilla. History says chocolate ice cream was created in 1775 by Italian doctor Filippo Baldini. In his written work De Sorbetti, Dr. Baldini recommended chocolate ice cream as a remedy to treat or cure various medical conditions, including gout and scurvy. However, there is some debate as to whether Dr. Baldini was actually talking about chocolate sorbet.

Chocolate Vs. Vanilla

There is a serious debate that goes on between ice cream connoisseurs. Some people say vanilla ice cream came first, while other say chocolate ice cream came first. Instead of picking a side, we decided to present some simple facts and let you decide which ice cream came first, chocolate or vanilla.

The earliest frozen chocolate recipe was published in The Modern Steward by Antoni Latini in 1693. Cocoa was readily available in the form of coffee and tea, so it makes sense that people would freeze those beverages to eventually create a frozen chocolate treat.

Vanilla ice cream, on the other hand, doesn't seem to appear in any ice cream recipe until the 1760s. Unlike cocoa, vanilla was not available to anyone. In fact, vanilla was rarely found in common households and only available to royalty. There are some publications that state vanilla ice cream was served in royal courts, but there is little evidence to back that up in the form of handwritten recipes.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM ANYONE?

Enjoying National Chocolate Ice Cream Day is as easy as eating chocolate ice cream. While you're snacking away, explore the variety of chocolate ice creams available. Because chocolate comes in many forms, such as dark chocolate and milk chocolate, chocolate ice cream choices do, too . But then we can add peanut butter or marshmallow. We just recently celebrated Rocky Road. And don't forget all the kinds of fudge. Some people like chocolate and mint mixed together, too. And the list goes on and on. Either way, share your love for this delicious food holiday on social media using the hashtag #ChocolateIceCreamDay.

How Tech is Changing Language: Top 8 New Tech Words

Embracing Linguistic Evolution

Language, as we know it, has always been a dynamic entity. Ever-evolving, adapting, and morphing according to socio-cultural shifts, technological advancements, and global interactions. In our present digital age, the influence of technology on language is not just palpable but overwhelmingly transformative. Now, words are not only coined to describe new technologies, but they are also created as a direct result of the way we interact with these technologies. Let's explore a few of the newest tech-based additions to our linguistic arsenal.

The Ubiquitous 'Selfie'

Once upon a time, taking a photo of oneself was simply that – taking a photo. But with the advent of smartphones with front-facing cameras, this action took on a life of its own. The term 'selfie' was coined to describe these self-portraits, and it became so widespread that it was named Oxford Dictionaries' Word of the Year in 2013. Today, 'selfie' is a fixture in our linguistic landscape, symbolizing more than just a photo, but a cultural phenomenon of the digital era.

Streaming and Binge-Watching

Before the digital revolution, we watched television shows on a strict schedule, dictated by broadcasters. With the advent of video streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu, this changed dramatically. 'Streaming' entered our lexicon to describe the act of watching content directly via the internet, bypassing traditional broadcasting methods.

Along with this came the term 'binge-watching'. This refers to watching multiple episodes of a TV series in one sitting, a behaviour facilitated by the availability of complete seasons of shows on streaming platforms. In 2015, Collins English Dictionary named 'binge-watch' as the word of the year, underlining its cultural significance.

The Rise of 'Cryptocurrency'

As technology reshaped the financial landscape, new forms of digital money, independent of central banks, emerged. 'Cryptocurrency' was the term coined to describe these digital or virtual currencies that use cryptography for security. The most popular among these, Bitcoin, has become synonymous with cryptocurrency, although there are thousands of them today.

The Enigma of 'Blockchain'

Closely related to cryptocurrency is 'blockchain', a complex term that has become nearly as ubiquitous. A blockchain is essentially a decentralized and distributed digital ledger used to record transactions across multiple computers. This technology underpins most cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, and has potential applications far beyond, in areas like healthcare, governance, and more.

'App' and the Smartphone Revolution

The term 'app', short for application, has been around for a while. But with the rise of smartphones, 'app' has become a household word, referring specifically to a type of software designed to run on a mobile device. Be it social networking, banking, fitness tracking, or gaming, there's an 'app' for virtually everything today.

The Internet of Things (IoT)

The 'Internet of Things' or 'IoT' is a term that refers to the network of physical devices – from everyday household items like refrigerators and thermostats to industrial machinery – connected to the internet and capable of exchanging data. This technology aims to create a smart, automated environment around us, significantly changing how we live and work.

The Convergence of 'Phubbing'

With the increasing omnipresence of smartphones, new behaviours have emerged and with them, new words. 'Phubbing', a portmanteau of 'phone' and 'snubbing', describes the act of ignoring one's companions in a social setting to look at one's phone instead. While the term may sound amusing, it highlights a serious societal issue of our digital age – the constant distraction and disconnection that smartphones can cause.

Cybersecurity and 'Ransomware'

With the digitalization of data and the proliferation of internet-connected devices, data security has become paramount. 'Ransomware', a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid, has become a significant threat. The term itself is a blend of 'ransom' and 'software', highlighting the evolving linguistic creativity in the face of new technological realities.

Conclusion: The Linguistic Landscape of the Digital Age

The influence of technology on language is a testament to the human capacity for adaptation and evolution. As technology continues to advance at breakneck speed, our language will keep pace, birthing new words and phrases that encapsulate the zeitgeist of our digital age. So, whether you're taking a selfie, binge-watching your favourite show, or discussing the implications of blockchain, remember that you're part of a grand linguistic evolution, shaped by the silicon microchips of our time.

Celebrated June 7 Birthdays

Amelia Blanford Edwards was born in 1831. The British Egyptologist dedicated her career to the study of Egyptian monuments and preserving them.

Virginia Apgar was born in 1909. Nearly every parent of a newborn child can thank American Anesthesiologist Virginia Apgar for the scoring system doctors use to evaluate an infant soon after birth. The assessment helps determine if the baby needs immediate medical attention.

Gwendolyn Brooks was born in 1917. Gwendolyn Brooks earned a Pulitzer Prize for her poem Annie Allen, making her the first black author to win the prize.

Prince Rogers Nelson was born in 1958. With hits like “When Doves Cry” and “1999,” Prince earned a pop music and R&B reputation that was undeniable. Both as an artist and entertainer, the seven-time Grammy winner delivered stellar performances time after time.

New Orleans Uncovered

Derby Gisclair

Higgins Boats

An assembled swarm of LCVP (landing craft, vehicle, personnel) or Higgins boats in Bayou St. John ready for sea trials in Lake Pontchartrain. Andrew Higgins designed and built tens of thousands of these shallow draft plywood barge-like boats that could carry roughly 36 men and their equipment to a beachhead under fire.

Many New Orleanians played their part in the construction of these boats, the testing and sea trials, and the preparation for the invasion on D-Day. And, of course, the New Orleanians who gave their lives on the beaches, along with thousands of others, during the invasion of Europe.

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.

THE DOOKY CHASE KITCHEN: LEAH’S LEGACY cooking series celebrates Leah Chase, the “Queen of Creole Cuisine.”

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.

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.

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.

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.
