Thaw before reheating.

Wednesday morning: woke to find holes in the front garden where caladium once had been. Damn garden theft! It presented a good excuse to get some work done out in front. $30, 15 mosquito bites, and one cleaned up porch later, and the front yard had a face lift.

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.

Someone *stole* your plants? I live on Magazine and someone stole my Christmas wreath once. Yikes. Of course, I can’t get anything to grown under the oak tree anyway so it’s not like there is anything tempting to steal anymore 😉

I kid you not. Walked out to find HOLES in the front garden. Holes. Where plants once grew. We walked around the sidewalk looking for evidence of the dirt trail (there was dirt along the sidewalk, but no further, so they must’ve thrown the plants in a truck?)
Serious bah-humbug to someone who steals a Christmas wreath!

That’s insane. What kind of person DIGS up plants and steals them? I can see it now…a guy in New York City, wearing a trench coat, and when he opens it, voila…you can buy caladiums, imported from New Orleans. How much do you guess they go for on the black market?
