Thaw before reheating.

Paul’s doing the second coat (final) cut-in… but we don’t have enough paint to roll! Hopefully we’ll be able to start loading it up Thursday or so. We have no idea when we’ll get around to painting this room, though, so this will be the lone great white shelf for awhile.

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

Looking good. You guys have a flair for home improvement.
I was thinking of New Orleans recently … carefully organizing the Mardi Gras beads you sent by color, as I packed up to move. How are things citywide?

We do have a flair for home improvement, I’ll drink to that. We’re also insufferable perfectionists. And probably a little bit crazy.
Answering “how is NOLA?” is never easy. The city is continuing to recover and our “sliver by the river” is fabulous. We’re two cities now: one that was flooded by poorly constructed levees, and one that sat high and dry. More than ever, the only way to understand New Orleans is to visit New Orleans. Believe me, it’s much more than what you see on Cops.
You need to get out here to catch summa those beads yo’sef!
