Favorites on Friday

Happy Friday peeps!  I'm looking forward to an action packed weekend. You know how it is when you're trying to get away, life seems to suddenly accelerate.  Tomorrow I'm signed up for an iphone photography class at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre in the hopes I will learn to take the best pics possible in NOLA.  I'll let you know how that goes and hopefully you'll soon see the results.They also host a yearly event called Foto Fusion. A couple years ago I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by legendary photographer Elliot Erwitt Every Friday Pinterest tells me my most popular pins for the week.  Since it seems like I should do something with that nifty stat I thought I'd share them with you.  I have lots of crazy boards.  If you want to follow me on Pinterest click here.Audrey Hepburn in Rome, circa early 60s, when I named my daughter Sabrina this is who I was thinking of Sign seen in the Big Easy, quote by Louis ArmstrongThis sublime photo can be found on my "Book Heaven "pinterest board Speaking of following, if you would like to follow along on the Blog Tour NOLA, it starts on Tuesday.  Subscribe to this blog and or follow me on Twitter or Face Book.  I promise to do an excellent  job of reporting the good the bad (hopefully not) and the divine.  The days leading up to KBIS on Friday will be so interesting and inspiring.  Then the annual Kitchen & Bath Industry Show is where new products and design trends are unveiled.   You can find the other bloggers and more info about the whole blog tour over at ModenusLast but not least, food is one thing I'm eagerly looking forward to in New Orleans.  Everyone knows that Cajun cuisine is known for it's SPICE! Yes dat cookin is hot! When the shrimp goes on sale you might want to check out this awesome recipe from "cookedbyjulie" over on YouTube. Incidentally, you can also make an Indian version of this dish. Just switch to Indian seasonings such as garam masala and turmeric and garnish with cilantro instead of parsley. Serve with naan instead of biscuits and you can have your shrimp and eat it Indian style too.  Have a terrific weekend and I'll see you next time in the French Quarter!
