Louisiana and Florida friendship headcanons.

Blame writing in Louie’s POV for this one.

Louisiana is a bit of a mom friend. He usually tries to get Florida to think about his actions for a moment before joining in on his nonsense.

Florida and Louie have never faut to this day. They’ve gotten close to one real disagreement but Texas walked into the wearing Cali’s shirt and that was the end of that.

Author, Kate Chopin, “The Awakening”, 1899

Kate Chopin was born Katherine O’Flaherty on February 8, 1850, in Louisiana. She was a novelist and short story writer, and is considered the first Southern feminist writer of the 20th-century. Her book, “The Awakening”, was considered ahead of its time and caused such controversy, that it ended Chopin’s writing career.  After being banned several times, it remained out of print until the 1970’s. Today, the book is considered a classic in feminist fiction.

“Despondency had come upon her there in the wakeful night, and had never lifted. There was no one thing in the world that she desired...The children appeared before her like antagonists who had overcome her, who had overpowered and sought to drag her into the soul’s slavery for the rest of her days. But she knew a way to elude them. She was not thinking of these things when she walked down to the beach. 

The water of the Gulf stretched out before her, gleaming with the million lights of the sun. The voice of the sea is seductive, never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander in abysses of solitude. All along the white beach, up and down, there was no living thing in sight.”

--"The Awakening", 1899

New Orleans Cooking School

A great way to understand a little more of a culture is often thru their cuisine.

We had a great morning learning about the history behind the Cajun food with the influence of the French, Spanish and the Caribbean.

We took a little road trip and ended up in the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Often called the Crown Jewel of New Orleans, the French Quarter is one of NOLA's most historic neighborhoods. Founded by the French in 1718, the Quarter is New Orleans’oldest neighborhood. Touched by centuries of influence from across the globe, the Vieux Carré tells ages-old stories of trade, pirates, voodoo and even vampires. This neighborhood’s history traces back to Europe and beyond, and these influences are lasting in today’s French Quarter culture.

There was no sign of the snow that hit New Orleans just the previous week (snowiest day on Jan 22 since records began in 1948 with a total of 8.0 inches). The streets were back to normal getting ready for the Super Bowl and ordaining the Mardi Gras carnival colors.

I literally laughed out loud watching Lauren Ventrella on CNN she thought she ate. But she just came across so dumb. No wonder my friend from NOLA is embarrassed by the bill just passed in Louisiana.
