Southern drink

In the south, tea is a tradition.  I have been drinking tea for as long as I can remember, hot or cold, day or night.  Some Southerners prefer Lousianne tea but for me it’s Lipton.

I love to find Lipton tea on sale and when I do, I usually pick up several boxes.  I love to save money.  I was going to make tea one day and for some reason, the tea bags just fell apart.  I had never had this happen before so I tried again, and the same thing happened.  There was one of those 800 numbers for the customer service department on the side of the box so I gave them a call.  I received a warm hearted apology and was sent several coupons in the mail for several free boxes of Lipton Tea Bags.  That’s what keeps Lipton as one of Americas favorites, good customer service.  Nice to see it’s still around.

Costumes

Costumes are not just for Halloween here in New Orleans.  They are for any and most every celebration.  There are several wonderful places here to buy costumes, masks and most anything you need for your party or celebration.  I have found some wonderful costumes online too.  Costumes can be expensive but are considered a necessity here so we look to find the best prices.  You should check out some of what they offer online and save some money too.

New Orleans taste

Not only is New Orleans known for it’s music but also for it’s food.  The food of New Orleans is spicy, full of flavor and known by it’s taste around the world.  People like Emeril Legasse have made sure that everyone knows the food.  Gumbo is probably one of the most well known.  Justin Wilson, bless his heart, was another one that brought our food to your table.  We all surely miss him and his Cajun humor.  He not only filled your stomach but also filled your heart with his great stories he told while he cooked.  I’m sure a lot of you remember his program on TV.  If not, you missed a great one.
