Everyone loves a good book sale! Join the folks from the New Orleans Public Library at the Thursday market this week in Mid-City. Bring the kids, shop for all of your dinner necessities, and grab a good book while you're at it!
BEAN MADNESS
March is here so you know what that means? Beans! The folks from Red Beans Parade are getting ready to kick off Bean Madness: the tournament modeled after college basketball's March Madness that determines through blind taste tests the best red beans in the city. The single elimination tournament raises money for nonprofits Anna's Place, which offers after-school and summer camp programs as well as health outreach and a food pantry, and Make Music Nola, a free music-for-social-change program. This year completing your bracket will be easy and exclusively online, where you can compare your bets to those of celebrity judges. Keep an eye out, the website will go live March 1st. First tastings will happen next week at our Thursday, Mid-City Market, March 8th. Get your bean on, y'all!
VENDOR OF THE WEEK: JAMES FARM
Shout out to James Farm this week! What's better to enjoy with a bowl of beans than fresh long grain Prairie Ronde rice. While rice farming only became a serious venture in January of 2017, the James family has been farming for 30 years. After developing a partnership with Rolando Sanchez, Beth James began to offer a non-GMO single variety long grain rice. Interesting fact about our favorite Saturday grain vendor, they were so fed up with quality degradation from using other mills, they built their own on site and calibrated it so that the most bran is left intact while still allowing it to be considered white rice, hence the term "light brown" rice. So you still get much of the nutritional benefit of a brown rice, but with the longer shelf life of white rice. Find Prairie Ronde Rice at Saturday market or at Bonnecaze Farms' table at Tuesday market.
RECIPE OF THE WEEK: CREOLE TOMATO JAM
Maybe there is something in the air, or maybe it is the abundance of juicy maters at the market... Either way, we are feeling inspired by tomatoes right now. With plenty to choose from - hydroponic or field, slicer or cherry, red or green, creole or heirloom - it is hard not to be. Our current obsession is tomato jam. Garden & Gun has an amazing recipe from chef Tory McPhail of Commander's Palace. If you are not up to the task, you are in luck! Pick up some ready-made from Poche Family Farm at Tuesday or Saturday market.

Sancerre, One in Every Color -Wednesday, February 28, 5:30 to 7:30 The Sancerre region in France is known for its iconic crisp, refreshing mineral-driven whites but most people are unfamiliar with its elegant reds and mouthwatering rosé wines. This week our favorite neighborhood wine guy David Sobiesk will host our Wednesday Night Flights, Sancerre - One in Every Color (actually there will be 2 whites but who's counting?) He will present 4 wines in this in-depth look at the region's terroir and grape varieties. If you'd like a little something to snack on with your wine, resident cheesemonger Casey Foote will select and present a regional pairing plate ($10 with flight, $15 without the flight). No standing in line for our Wednesday flights - you sit at a table, we come to you and pour tableside complete with lots of educational info on what you are drinking. The flight of 4 wines is $20 - reservations are highly recommended as we can only seat walk-ins if space allows. Reserve here: Sancerre
Friday Free For All, Friday March 2, 6-8PM - Morgan Stroud joins us with a great selection from Spain and Latin America. This tasting is free and reservations are not required!
2018 Winery of the Year, Agricola Masi -Wednesday March 14, 5:30 to 7:30 - In our Wednesday Night Flight this week, Tony Apostolakos of Masi, named the 2018 Winery of the Year by Gambero Rosso, will guide you through a range of red wines showcasing the Valpolicella region's indigenous varieties. The Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes provide the base for most wines from the region but it is the different production methods that take those grapes from an easy drinking Valpolicella Classico to the heady, rich Amarone. Learn about and taste wines from the 3 distinct styles Masi produces including the signature appassimento technique, where the traditional grapes are laid out on bamboo racks to concentrate their aromas during the winter months. We will also do a side by side comparison of an Amarone Classico and a single vineyard Amarone.
If you'd like a little something to snack on with your wine, resident cheesemonger Casey Foote will select and present a regional pairing plate ($10 with flight, $15 without the flight).

Champagne Education Series, Class One, The Building Blocks - Chardonnay Thursday, March 15, 6PM - Michael Knisely presents new Champagne education classes based on a series of 3 tastings around different grapes. But, beyond that, he will work to find an array of wines each night that will allow us to explore and understand these different components, or building blocks, that go into the more common blends. Rather than just Chardonnay from different villages, we will put together comparisons between steel vs oak, young vs aged, vintage vs multivintage. And then we'll do the same with Pinot Noir. The final class will be as much Pinot Meunier as he can find (it's sadly still the least common to find bottled alone) and then some wines that showcase the "other" 4 grapes that are allowed in the appellation. When we're done, you'll hopefully have a deeper appreciation for the role that each grape plays in a classic blend, as well as the other factors such as place, elevage, and age that make their own imprint on the character of the grapes. Each single class is limited to 20 people and will be accompanied by various cheeses and snacks. Reservations are required cost is $45/class. For more information and to reserve your spot go to CES The Building Blocks 1

"Writing Creative Nonfiction" aims to help students develop and perfect the skill of writing well-crafted creative essays. Creative nonfiction is a unique blend of genres that draws on elements of fiction as well as essay. Like fiction, the creative essay values a compelling story, as well as sharp and memorable detail. However, the essay allocates more room for reflection and analysis than contemporary short fiction typically allows for. Students interested in telling their own story, based on real life events, and then reflecting on the story's meaning for themselves and others, will benefit from this class. We will read examples of professional, published creative nonfiction, but our main focus will be on reading each others' work and offering productive feedback for improvement in a workshop setting. Students can expect to exit the class with one or two polished essays.
REQUIREMENTS
No experience necessary. This class is for adults 18 years of age and older.
NOTE
A minimum number of students must enroll in this class for it to "make". If fewer students enroll than are necessary, the class will be cancelled and full refunds will be issued. If we have to cancel the class, we'll make every effort to notify students at least one week before the first class meeting.

The Radical Buffoon(s) Present:
THE DUMB WAITER by HAROLD PINTER
New Orleans, LA
The Fortress of Lushington 2215 Burgundy St.
March 1st - March 17th @ 8 pm (Thurs - Sat 3/1-3, Wed-Sat 3/7-10, Tues-Sat 3/13-17)
The Radical Buffoon(s) present their second full production of Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter.
A stealthy one-act, The Dumb Waiter starts simple - and familiarly - enough. Two hit men await their instructions in an undisclosed and windowless basement. Killers with little to do except kill time they navigate their claustrophobic space as well as each other as best they can. But soon enough a series of odd circumstances catapult their pedestrian limbo into an absurd comedy of nerves, uncertainty, and ambiguity. Accentuated even further by this production's unique conceit: each night the two actors will take the stage, solicit a coin from the audience and give it a flip to decide who will play whom.

DUSTAN LOUQUEAT OGDEN AFTER HOURS
/// March 1 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Dustan Louque collects stories and cultures and distills them into song. An American songwriter who's often called Zelig's musical son, he describes his sound as somewhere between Mod & Rocker. During his childhood years growing up in Grande Pointe, he loved Fats Domino, Hank Williams, Sr., and Prince. In his formative years he discovered the British sounds of The Smiths, Depeche Mode and New Order at The Gold Mine Saloon in New Orleans. This music had a hold on him and sent him down a path of unlimited possibility. On his first trip to New York in college, he was overcome with an extreme desire to play the piano. Upon returning to the campus of Mississippi State, Louque begged the staff to let him in a class. It wasn't long before he stole the key to the music building so he could play through the night. He loved to play Chopin Nocturnes and Beethoven, but soon discovered guitar and a singing voice.
Thursdays (alternating Thursdays): Creole Italian specialties of Italian Olive Salad, Creole Red Gravy Pasta with Italian Sausages, Sno-Balls OR Cajun Specialties: Corn Macque Choux, Classic Gumbo, Gâteau de Sirop (spiced cake)
11 AM - 1 PM $40 ($50 Cajun menu) includes lunch and tour

Amanda Shaw performs at the New Orleans Jazz Museum on Friday, March 2 at 7:00pm. Fiddle player and singer, Amanda Shaw is part of the new breed of young, roots-based musicians (i.e., Lumineers, Mumford, Ed Sharp, Old Crow Medicine Show, Alabama Shakes) who have embraced both traditional sounds and pop sounds of the mainstream. Her roots lie in Louisiana, mixing her classically trained violin playing with Cajun dancehall melodies and vocals that drip sweet cherry pie and southern girl grit. Amanda counts Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Chrissie Hynde, and Bonnie Raittas her primary influences. Not only for their strong vocals and powerful styles, but also because they broke new ground with their crossover success and successfully integrating the sound of their roots to the mainstream and this reflects in her own girl-powered sexy, sassiness of her live performances, her sharp witty lyrics and her fashion statements. Amanda has spent her youth implementing the same mission as her role models, becoming one of the leading Cajun fiddlers today.
Tickets are $16.00 in advance, $21.00 day of show. Available for purchase online at

Get carried away with life
The clown Mauro has passed, but his spirit is still with us. Instead of mourning, the funeral cortege celebrates the here and hereafter with laughter and exuberance. Rich, extravagant memories frolic with the senses. The sound of laughter peals around the stage, visions of joyous tumblers and players fascinate the eyes. Regret and melancholy retreat in the face of a cavalcade of lively recollections of a life gloriously lived. A festive parade that entertains; the perfect accolade for an artist whose life was dedicated to revelry and making merry.

March 2018 is a special month, not only because it's when the spring equinox occurs, but also because it will host two full Moons-one on the 1st and another on the 31st (just as we had two full Moons in January).
The first full Moon is traditionally called a Full Worm Moon after the earthworms that emerge at this time of year.
March's Full Moon is traditionally called the Full Worm Moon by the Native Americans who used lunar phases to track the seasons. Colonial Americans also used these names, especially those of the local Algonquin tribes who lived between New England and Lake Superior.
At the time of this Moon, the ground begins to soften enough for earthworm casts to reappear, inviting the return of robins and migrating birds.
Roots start to push their way up through the soil, and the Earth experiences a re-birth as it awakens from its winter slumber.
In some regions, this is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.
When two full Moons occur in a single calendar month, the second is called a Blue Moon. In March 2018, a Blue Moon will occur on the 31st.

WHAT: Verbatim Verboten, the invasion-of-privacy revue. WHO: Produced by Clove Productions. Directed and hosted by Mason Joiner. Created by Michael Martin. WHERE: The Valiant Theatre & Lounge, 6621 St Claude, Arabi.
WHEN: Every other Saturday, 10:30pm, beginning Mar 3, 17, 31; Apr 14. (Additional dates confirmed by March 20.)
HOW: $10 at the door. Reservations 504-298-8676 or
cloveproductions@gmail.com.
The long-running but intermittent comedy revue, Verbatim Verboten, settles in for its first run in over two years, at the Valiant Theatre in Arabi. Directed and emceed by Mason Joiner, regulars in the rotating cast include Andy Nemo, Audrey Wagner, Jesse Stephens, Rebecca Fox, Cameron-Mitchell Ware, Harold Gervais, LaKesha Glover, Drew Cothern, Shelley Johnson, and Matthew Rigdon. Valiant artistic director Richard Mayer, a VV vet as both director and actor, provides guidance from behind the curtain.
Verbatim Verboten creator Michael Martin celebrates the rebirth of his brainchild with a slew of new material for the actors to tackle. Word-for-word transcripts of the famous and the notorious (plus a few regular people, for variety) in an ever-changing revue of exchanges the public wasn't meant to hear: surveillance tapes, secretly recorded conversations, forgotten open mics, on-camera diatribes, released emails, private correspondence, et cetera. Mason and his cast deliver the unvarnished, verbatim goods...with, perhaps, some interpretive license, every now and then.

Giant Saxophone Arrives in New Orleans for City's Tricentennial
Jazz is a music genre created by African Americans who lived in Louisiana. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, musicians gathered around New Orleans to play rhythmic styles such as swing, bebop, and free jazz on their brass and woodwind instruments. One of the most notable instruments of the jazz sound is the saxophone.
Musicians such as John Coltrane, Charlie Parker and Stan Getz have popularized the saxophone throughout the years. Most people would deduce that since jazz finds its origins in the deep south of New Orleans, subsequently, the saxophone was born there as well. Truth is, the saxophone doesn't bear its roots from Southern USA, but hails from Southern Belgium.
During the early 1840s, a Belgian musician by the name of Mr. Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone. The saxophone is a single-reed instrument made of metal, with a conical bore. The saxophone player blows air into the instrument, creating a vibration that radiates an octave sound out of the bell and any open holes. Known for its romantic, alluring sounds, the saxophone is a fan favorite among music lovers all across the globe.
On April 5th, 2018, the city of New Orleans will celebrate its 300th anniversary. As a gift from the city of Namur, Belgium, FedEx will transport a giant saxophone to New Orleans for the city's tricentennial celebration. This special saxophone was painted by Dimitri Perpete (shown in the photo). The saxophone will be presented to the city, as the double-sided painting on the saxophone commemorates the musical connection between the instrument's birthplace and the world's capital of jazz.
FedEx donated shipping of the giant saxophone from Houyet, Belgium to New Orleans, USA, and it arrived safely just in time for Mardi Gras. The dedication of the sculpture will take place during the April 5thtricentennial celebration.
You can be sure that this celebration will be one to remember, as the sounds of the saxophone playing will ignite chants of 'Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler,' a Cajun expression meaning 'let the good times roll'!
