TWO OF MY FAVORITE PLACES ON EARTH FEATURED

7/8/2020

FORBES MAGAZINE SPOTLIGHTS
​THE SOUTH'S MOST 'TASTEFUL TOWNS'
Picture
I became aware of our rich culinary culture early on having grown up in Bayou Teche Country, Patoutville, just next door to New Iberia. Our family was filled with great cooks. Simple backyard gatherings, crab boils this time of the year, often become incredible feasts.

The pleasures of the table, and how it evokes friendly conversation and develops lifelong friendships  is a tradition I carry forth in my life. Sometimes I post pics on social media capturing these traditions. Are you enjoying blueberries and peaches these days? Has peach cobbler always been this good? 

Fittingly, New Iberia and Natchez get their due in this short list of tasteful small southern towns in Forbes Magazine (click for story).I'm glad for the Tabasco shout-out, which is like adding sunshine to a meal, and over in Natchez Regina Charboneau gets her due. I encourage you to visit all the restaurants featured, and to bring a friend.  Bon Appetit!

The parterre gardens and ancient oaks add much to the 18th century French Creole setting. ​ See my listing here!

LOUISIANA IRISES ARE IN BLOOM!
treasures in the wild

A garden is a delight to the eye and solace for the soul.

I took these photos recently at Jean Lafitte

Each year I eagerly await the blooms of these magnificent flowers. 

You might see some in walks about the city, and beyond. 
For next year, I also suggest taking in the Irises at the Botanical Gardens at City Park, and Longue View House and Gardens.

For numerous years, I've been a member of the New Orleans Iris Society and
​I recommend this group to serious gardeners.

CULTURAL PURSUITS - I Recommend: New Iberia Area

2/12/2020

0 Comments

 
For those taking in the Simien Open House and others venturing to New Iberia, Louisiana ...You are deep in the heart of Bayou Teche Country where I grew up! I offer a few stops to enjoy the day. But first things first - a wonderful Cajun lunch experience.
I RECOMMEND: 
BON CREOLE LUNCH COUNTER
for the best Shrimp Po-Boy ever!

I always make a point of seeking out beautiful trees. Here's William Guion's Evangeline Oak photo. I call your attention to his blog The 100 Oaks Project. 

It's Valentine's Day Weekend and could there be a more enduring symbol of love than the Evangeline Oak immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem about Evangeline and her long lost love Gabriel. It's a beautiful tree. Go see. Just 10 miles from Simien House. 

The Jungle Gardens at Tabasco on Avery Island: Breathtaking blooms throughout the year along with phenomenal bird-watching opportunities.

Shadows on the Teche: Built in 1834 and set amongst moss draped ancient oaks. Take in the well-preserved home and gardens - operated by National Trust for Historic Preservation.
