NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 27/02/2025In over 2 decades of practicing law and getting daily tax law updates, never have I seen anything like this. Watching SCOTUS closely on the USAIDS case to see if they apply brakes to this runaway train of an administration. 122
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 18/01/2025When mahjongg and Carnival merge, it’s a winning combination! I’ll be MIA for a while…. 3190
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Speaking of my epic knitting, I finished my first *color block project* today. Sometimes I impress myself! 4140
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 01/01/2025How it’s going in NOLA… I feel like a frog in a pot of water slowly coming to a boil… 0182
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 02/12/2024This is more my style. Statues of cats. I get it. Cats are godlike and should be idolized. 😀 020
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 02/12/2024The step ladder isn’t shown but it was there too. I swear they were prepping to paint this wall. 140
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 28/11/2024At first glance, I thought that was a crawfish. You can take me out of Louisiana but…. 1130
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 23/11/2024I think I discovered the periodic element for the Po Boy… 214720
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 10/11/2024I finished my Fall Leaves Garland. I am not hating it. Need to zhuzh up the rest of the mantle with thanksgiving decor… 2270
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 10/04/2024A friend turned me onto the Merlin bird app and by golly do I enjoy it! With all this rain, all the birds have something to tweet. 100
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 30/03/2024An Easter trifle is nothing to, eh, trifle with… I want to face-plant into it. 280

NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 20/01/2024Two sets were purchased. Two flowers, we made. Making more today. *Almost* there. #nola #carnival 140
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 06/01/2024Haydel’s 2024 ceramic king cake dolls: Arthur Hardy (so cute!) and a MG stand (that does not stand on its own 😕). 020
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 27/12/2023Sun is having her wisdom teeth removed and I have an hour or so to fret… so as best I can to not fret, I knit. At a minimum it helps drown out the crappy music playing as I say to myself “knit knit knit yarn over knit knit knit…” 220
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 26/12/2023My grandfather had this in a kitchen drawer. When he died, I was the only one who’d ever found it and asked him what it was: a vintage cut crystal vase that was in old (1930s) cars. It was the original air freshener! Had to buy a vintage bracket and voila! Makes for a fine tableau. 150
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 22/12/2023Greetings from Jacob’s Andouille in LaPlace. Tasty smoked meats? Yes please! 010
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 26/11/2023Young Belizaire still holds a grudge. And he likes the taste of falcon—says it tastes like chicken 🍗 020
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 27/10/2023A sazerac at the Sazerac Bar isn’t as large as it once was. Alas. 150
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 14/10/2023Thoroughly disappointing selections on this ballot. Hard days are ahead of Louisiana. 460
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 05/10/2023Got the normal-sized one this time and it’s still big! 170
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 23/09/2023How today’s going. I brought out the skull shot glass in hopes it’d feel like Halloween and perhaps a bit cooler. That’s not working either. 030
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 19/09/2023Oldie but goodie. Too soon to talk Super Bowl? #whodatcat #saints 020
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 17/09/2023New rule: Before ordering the large sangria margarita, I will ask if it is customarily served with one straw or two. I’m a one-straw girl. This thing is huge! 130
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 16/09/2023Second focaccia! I think I got this sourdough starter thing down!! 070
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 09/09/2023Before heading out to listen to live music like I’m not actually a dinosaur, I spent my evening refurbishing my first set of mahjong tiles. And that, people, is the definition of OLD. Happy, but old. 050
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 04/09/2023Sun begins work on her Halloween costume. Updates to follow… 040
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 02/09/2023Over 25 years ago, I bought my first mahjong set at an antique shop on Magazine St. A shelf was wonky & a brass handle was missing. My grandfather replaced the shelf with a perfect match. And this week I FINALLY found a replacement handle. And this set will be a most cherished item til my dying day. 1131
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 26/08/2023Sun’s class color this year is red so she picked Sue Sylvester as her costume, and, well, you tell me—did she nail it or not? 120
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 13/08/2023It’s so damn hot in NOLA, I had to bring my cactus inside to bloom. Left outside, it dehydrates so fast the flowers just wilt and die before blooming. 030
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 12/08/2023Graduated to focaccia and you should smell my kitchen! It tastes as good as it smells which is as good as it looks. 030
NOLAnotes @nolanotes.bsky.social · 02/08/2023Thus begins my journey with sourdough. Some stumbles and still not perfect but getting there and now my mistakes are edible! 070
