……..visit or stay away from.

Orleagian Snowballs has become a quasi-meeting spot for New Orleanians and all the things we represent and love, but we are closed for the season. I wanted to create a way to remain a resource to you all, so we will utilize this blog.

Sometimes I am able to communicate the many events and openings that I am asked to note, but sometimes I am not. So I am going to start acknowledging some of the places I was made aware of, some I have tried and other I have not, but I want to hear about places you visited also. We all like to share VERY good and VERY bad experiences so once I make it to the many New Orleans, Creole, or Cajun restaurants I am advised of I will post my experience and perhaps you will do the same.

Also please feel free to include events, businesses, products, restaurants and venues that you think would be valued or operated by New Orleanians. Remember: New Orleanians are RESPECTFULLY opinionated, but please note very honestly opinionated. So, if you visited a place that is good by your standard or want to see what is good by ours leave a post. Communicate your thoughts with the many natives of New Orleans, the people who miss it, and those who love it.

Copeland’s of New Orleans:
I know, I know, its not a HIDDEN gem, but it has one…..Spinach & Artichoke Dip.
I went there practically every Sunday (Our busiest day of business) after work for this delicious appetizer. Its not ordinary S&A dip, it is made with fried bow tie pasta, that if eaten alone is fantastic, but topped with the dip it is second to none.

YOUR OPINIONS sand MUCH MORE TO COME…..

Did you see what happened yesterday in New Hampshire? New Hampshire showed everyone that voting is still in the hands of the people. I will not share my political ideology, just yet, but I will say from a leadership and goal attainment perspective that Hillary did exactly what she needed to do to connect with the people.

We all know that Hillary probably began dreaming about the Presidency right after mumbling the words “Ma…ma or “Da…Da.” It takes a strong inner passion, confidence, ambition, and intelligence to even mutter the words ‘I want to be the first Female or African-American President’ and actually pursue it, so why not let that life long passion show?

Sincere passion and genuine enthusiasm can never hurt (unless you are Howard Dean-what a railroad that was) so why not let down your facades and “Do You!” Well, Hillary “Did Her” after years of calculated moves and orchestrated steps she finally became confident (or exhausted)  enough to trust her years of preparation and let the reason she wants to be president outshine the mechanics of how to become president and in less than 48 hours New Hampshire confirmed her risk. …………Or was she going to win anyway?
