At the CNMC I was interviewed by Sr. Margaret for her website. You can see the very cool interview below:

OK, folks. This one has been a long time coming. Crawfish. How to peel 'em!

Pat Padley over at In Between Sundays podcast had a conversation months ago with his brother Nick, in which they asked me about the proper way to peel a crawfish.

Now, the proper way to peel a crawfish is probably a lot like the proverbial skinning a cat thing. There's more than one way. But in this video we share our way.

Yep. The Padleys asked about this months ago (around Mardi Gras) and I am just now getting around to posting this video. Ugh.

Here, I'll say it for you: "It's about time!"

Here is some video I shot at the Saints victory parade in New Orleans on Tuesday, February 9, 2010. We are proud of our New Orleans Saints!

It is reported that there were 800,000 to 1 million people at that parade. It was truly amazing.

WHO DAT!

On the show today... A LIVE recording of the Catholic Foodie Superbowl pre-game show. You don't want to miss this!

You will get to hear my prediction of which team will be victorious (and I end up being right, ya know!). And I am joined by Adolfo Rodriguez who shares a wealth of Saints facts and Catholic tidbits. He is also an avid foodie. We just can't seem to stop talking about food! And, for the first time ever, we actually EAT on the show!

I read a lot of blogs. Or at least I try to. Sometimes I get behind. And sometimes I have the chance to catch up, like today.

Today we talk about taking vitamins... Catholic Vitamins!

We also talk about recipes. How should we use them? Where do we get them? And how can we send more of them to the Catholic Foodie? :-)

I also share tips on finding great recipes online.

Bon appetit!

Don't forget to check out the recipes I mentioned on the show:

School has started. Already.

Yep. We had faculty meetings on Wednesday and Thursday. Yesterday was Book Day, when the students come to campus to pick up their textbooks and other supplies. The first day of class is Monday. So, for me and for many others, Summer is officially over.

My good friend, Barb (also known as BarbInNebraska on Plurk and Twitter), posted a video this morning that really inspired this teacher. Maybe it will inspire you too.

Judy Walker, food editor for the Times-Picayune (and co-author of Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found in the Times-Picayune of New Orleans) interviews Leah Chase in her kitchen at Dooky Chase in New Orleans.

Behind-the-scenes stuff. Fun!

It's kinda hard to hear, and it's a bit long. But, if you like kitchens, and restaurants, and gumbo, and tradition, then you'll like this video!

On the menu today...

I used to pray the rosary every day. It really is my favorite prayer. But, for some reason, I have had a very difficult time lately actually settling down to pray it.

But videos like this one inspire me!

Does it inspire you?
