Have you ever experienced that moment? Did you ever lock eyes with someone in a crowded room and just…know? Have you ever sat in a classroom when someone walked through the door and you sat up a bit straighter, hoping against hope they’d come sit next to you, and they did? Have you ever been introduced to someone at a party and, when you went to shake hands, it was electric? Continue reading
Reasons I moved back to New Orleans included Mardi Gras, the food, the weather and being closer to my family. In just about that order. More than Christmas and almost more than my birthday, Mardi Gras is my favorite time of the year. It’s so magical that just about anything can happen. I’ve heard several stories of people who came for Mardi Gras and just never left. I don’t need any more reasons to be here, but just in case you do, here are 10 of them (not that there aren’t more).

Well, it’s RuPaul’s Drag Race time again!! Are you ready?! So, this has been broken up into two parts. Seven queens in one episode, seven in another, and two get eliminated. Interesting. So, we’re on part 1, which was partially shown online, for some of you. RuPaul explains that the winner gets a lot of money and a whole bunch of cosmetics.
The queens come in and yammer at each other, the way they do. RuPaul joins us all and introduces us to Mike Ruiz, the first photo challenge and the new pit crew. Never leave me, Sean Morales. However, the new crew has two new members, both sponsored by Scruff. Now, I’d forgive you if you had no clue they were, since both look to be waxed to within an inch of their lives. Continue reading

Sixty years ago, both set out to diversify their economies and become leaders in the region. The result is a real-world model lesson for developing nations. Continue reading
OK, so, full disclosure, I’m a serial Long Distance Dater. I’m in my fourth long distance relationship at the ripe age of 25. It’s not that I seek out women who move away, it just seems that we fall for each other, and then life’s circumstances make it impossible to stay together when you’re both trying to start out your lives.
A few weeks ago I shared with you a recipe for chicken tostadas. Since then, I couldn’t stop thinking about making some slow-cooked pork carnitas to try with the tostada recipe. I looked around the web for some inspiration, and then decided to create my own concoction, since I wanted a slightly sweet carnitas. The best part is that we used the leftovers a few nights ago. We just added a little barbeque sauce and bam: pulled pork sandwiches. Gotta love a dish that can multi-task. Continue reading
