Love for the Bug

It is Crawfish season here in Louisiana. The weather has warmed up considerably and everybody wants boiled crawfish. It is hard to explain the passion and excitement one creature can create for a region. The crawfish “mudbug” does certainly that.

We have had a three month hiatus from the blogosphere. It’s been quite busy at NolaCajun since our last blog back in January. We promise, from now on, we will be more attentive to the blog section of the site. So what’s been going on...well, Mardi Gras was late this year so there was an extended king cake season. Lots and lots of king cakes were shipped all across the country and two even found their way to the United Kingdom.
Restaurant Review – Iris

Iris is located in the Bienville House Hotel on N. Peters between Bienville St. and Conti St. If you have been to New Orleans, you have more than likely walked right by it and didn’t even know it. I’m from New Orleans and never knew it was there. We didn’t have reservations and were able to easily get seated as a party of 11 plus my 2 year old. Typically, on a Saturday evening, this would make you second guess your restaurant choice…but hunger and a 2 year old win over rational thought.

Today marks the beginning of Mardi Gras. Yeah, that’s right. It’s just not any other Thursday. It’s January 6th which is exactly 12 days after Christmas. It is also commonly known as the Twelfth Night and the kickoff to Mardi Gras. I’m not going to give you the whole run-down of the history of Mardi Gras. You can just as easily get a better understanding from Wikipedia then from me. However, January 6th is significant because it does signify the start of king cake season. Yeah, we ship them year-round but it’s more symbolic than anything
Time for Football Parties- Beverages

It’s playoff time in the NFL. Hopefully, your team made the big dance and if not…well there’s always next year. With the parity in the NFL, your team can go from cellar dweller to top of the division in one year… unless you are Carolina and even Andrew Luck won’t right that ship quickly. So what goes best with an intense playoff matchup? How about a few beverages!? Here are a few suggestions:
