Metro New Orleans DISers - check in!!! - Part II

I was just kidding, I'm going to make a batch soon.

I am a nervous wreck this morning. We have to travel to Morgan City for state playoff semi-finals this afternoon. Kyle is pitching, if we win we go to state in Shreveport next Thursday & Friday. I'm already ready to take a nerve pill.:sad2:


Good Luck!!!
 
:lmao: And bad,bad me-I'm booking a WDW vacation for May 25th-June 1st.
I got caught up in a why did you buy DVC thread and the dang thing made me miss WDW. I'm so pitiful:rotfl:.
 

All Westbankers - I just read on the Nola blog that Zea's will be opening in September of this year. It will replace Semolina's on Manhatten. I love Zea's but DD will be upset that they are getting rid of Semolina's.

Zea's is owned by the same group (in case you didn't know;) ). And unfortunately all of the Semolina's will be disappearing. They are changing the format to Bistro Italia, I believe. We went to one near our home and were very disappointed. Lack of selection for starters and the food just wasn't that great. I too will miss Semolina.

Thanks! Looks like the weather is going to be better than what we thought.:goodvibes

That is a shame, we too, will miss Semolinas.
 
That is ashame, I like Semolina better than Zea!!

I was VERY bummed when they closed the original Semolina in Covington-it was a little nook with about 10-15 tables- LOVED it-it was quaint and close to our house. Not crazy over Bistro Italia either. Been once. My DD10 will be even more upset b/c Semolina is her FAVORITE place to eat!!

Good Luck Kyle!!!!
 
For you Tiger fans....All over the news here.....Perilloux is done - dismissed from the team. Talk about a wasted opportunity!

DANG IT, What a stupid stupid boy!!!!
Well im proud that Les took a stance, some programs would have swept it under the rug just to keep up the winning streak. Hopefully this wont mess them up in the upcoming yr!

ESPN is reporting that he failed a drug test.:sad2:
 
Gosh, Y'all sure are chatty!!!

First off, Kathy! Good Luck to Kyle & the team!:cheer2: Have a safe drive & a good time!!!

Let me know ya'll. I think it'd be something I'd like, but it always seems geared toward peeps with kiddos- and well, that's not currently us. Although, here lately I've been in that "nesting" mode where I wonder.....
I've seen it a couple of times. Normally where the jellies/jams/preserves are.

I'll ask her this afternoon. We are going look at some houses with them this evening. She tried to get me into the scrapbooking when she was all gung-ho about it. It's just way too much work for me! And yes they do have a lot of stuff for kids. Chris made some of the cutest books when Alexis was a baby. But DD did one for her days at LSU, of course that had lots of little drinks & other cool things. I'm sure you can find anything you want. But it does seem to be on the expensive side to me.



LOL I am def an old fashioned girl!

We are staying at All stars music.... which im not jacked up about , but I was trying to keep it cheap this time. Since we were there so long in Oct, and paid for dining we still dropped a load even with camping lol. Its only about 1,100 this time.. that is much less than we paid last time. HMM there is something to be said for free dining LOL!
If we can handle the heat in Sept and its not to crowded, next yr im thinking we will do a deluxe. I still def want to try and hit food and wine.though .. Wonder how much i can get with giving plasma LOL.. I hate putting stuff on credit cards!

Jenny, We stayed one night at All Star in the Jazz section. The room was nice, the pool looked nice & they showed movies by the pool that night. And key for us, they had a GOOD BAR next to the pool!! The food court was very chaotic but overall, we were pleasantly surprised how nice it was.


Is this Bravo Cucina? They're building a new one @ the Mall of LA (on Bluebonnet). I was wondering if it would be any good.

Regarding the chutney, did you see my note on the WFD thread? I looked at the jams / jellies / preserves aisle when I couldn't find the Major Grey chutney in its normal spot, but no luck. I didn't think to look in the condiments aisle, but I doubt they moved it there.

Crazy busy here. Baseball for both DSs, end of school is DAYS away, considering relocation possibility for DH, and our Disney trip is in TWO WEEKS!!!! OMG - I'm so not prepared. Looks like I'll have to do a mock-packing this weekend to make sure everyone has what they need.

TGIF everyone! Hope the rain holds out for all headed to Jazz Fest & the other fairs this weekend.

I didn't see your note yet. Thanks for looking! I was going to go hunt today. But I slept late & then got caught up in watching this 2 hr reality show "Carrier" this morning on pbs. I was clueless about what military families go through!

It is Bravo Cucina. Its a pretty large chain, but the decor is pretty & the food is usually very good.


For you Tiger fans....All over the news here.....Perilloux is done - dismissed from the team. Talk about a wasted opportunity!

Well it seemed that Miles worked really hard to help this boy get straight. If Perilloux can't pull it together with the support of the coaches & staff behind him, he'd probably just end up like Ricky Williams if he made into the NFL. It's a shame that a boy with so much talent, can't stay on the right road.

Oooh girl!!! You are BAD!! ( Good bad that is!;) )

All Westbankers - I just read on the Nola blog that Zea's will be opening in September of this year. It will replace Semolina's on Manhatten. I love Zea's but DD will be upset that they are getting rid of Semolina's.

:cool1: :yay: Woohoo! Love Zea's! The last time we went to that Semolina's it was not very good. Service was awful & the food just passable.
 
Zea's is owned by the same group (in case you didn't know;) ). And unfortunately all of the Semolina's will be disappearing. They are changing the format to Bistro Italia, I believe.

Laurie, (Did I spell that right? I forget with all our Lori's!) I didn't know Zea's & Semolina's were in the same group! I don't know about this Bistro Italia, but Zea's on St Charles is great, while the Manhattan Semolina's was not the same at all after Katrina.

Not me, I think Semolina's is overpriced, second rate Italian food !!! I loooooooooovvvvvveeeee Zea's!!!
 
Ok so here is the minnie mouse cake I did for my cousin's 6th birthday party.
I had to use the "Animal Crackers" pan because Wilton no longer makes Minnie Mouse or Mickey Mouse pans. I could have bought one on ebay, but I wasn't about to shell out $50+ for a pan! This is a strawberry cake made just for the birthday girl.

And I carved and iced it to look like this
100_0966.jpg

The white and colored icing is a vanilla buttercream, and the black of minnie's ears is chocolate buttercream.

I almost died when one of the Almond 12' rounds cracked!

But everything turned out great and here is the final cake
100_0967.jpg

The icing on the bottom tier is a white chocolate buttercream. This cake is Strawberry(seedless and organic) filled.

Let me just say that this cake was gone! It has a serving size of 56 people, yet only 35 or so were at the party!
 
The cake is beautiful. You are doing an awesome job decorating.


Good morning ladies. Another soggy day here. I wouldn't want to be at the Jazz Fest today. :sad2:

Happy Kentucky Derby day to any horse racing fans out there. Can you tell my husband is a fan because I knew what today was? :lmao:
 
Stephanie - Your cake is awesome!!!!:thumbsup2

Tricia - We love the Derby too! Wish I had the fixins for a mint julep today.;)

Tonight is the Senior Prom, hope the weather gets better, Kyle's wearing a "white" tux.:guilty:

Well for the third straight year we're heading to the state finals!!! Kyle pitched an awesome game last night in Morgan City to secure us a spot. We'll be going to Shreveport on Thursday and hopefully we'll do better than second place this year!!!!:cheer2:

Anyone got any tips on places to go or things to do in Shreveport?????


I really miss Lorie & Mary.:sad1:
