Some good news

I spent most of the day on the computer - doing some Friends of the Library stuff, and working with the photos. But the big reward came in the late afternoon.

We went to a Thursday Happening at the Hunter Museum of American Art. Chef Mike Adams of Blue Orleans Seafood Restaurant spoke about New Orleans creole cooking, history, and culture. Blue Orleans is one of our favorite places to eat, so it was fun to listen to Chef Adams. He made some jambalaya as he talked, and when he was finished, we got to eat some gumbo (which he had brought with him). How terrific was that! I talked with Chef Adams afterwards and asked him if they might be having a crawfish boil. He said that he probably would, sometime after the first of the year during the season.

Of other interest is that the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is just a couple of days away - making this program very timely. Chef Adams came to Chattanooga three days before Katrina to stay with relatives, getting away from the storm - and he decided to stay here. What a bonus for Chattanooga - that we inherited this lovely man and his wonderful food. Chef Adams said he is now getting good, freshly-caught shrimp from the docks in New Orleans - Katrina and BP notwithstanding. And that’s good news.
