Try a murder mystery dinner party
For decorations, we went crazy. Outdoors: purple, yellow and green mums, along with lighted, carved pumpkins and a tombstone labeled “DuPre.” Indoors: Mardi Gras beads, masks, candles and boas everywhere.

Try a murder mystery dinner party
I narrowed the field by searching for food-centric games and quickly settled on Murder at Mardi Gras. It takes place at a Garden District mansion masquerade ball, where guests have to determine who strangled Pierre DuPre with a string of antique Mardi Gras beads. One of the suspects, Cayenne Pepper, was DuPre’s chef, about to hit the big time with his own cooking show, Turn Up the Heat.

Thursday Drive-By Posting
Busy, busy, busy! We ran out to Whitefeather Meats this morning to order our cutting of Charles II – our new side of beef from Ohio’s Best Beef and Hog Farmer, Jon Berger Yes, for those of you who might be new here, we name our food – our last hog was “Wilbur” because he was some pig – and would go out and meet our animals and pet them and get to know them if we could; we have no problem with that. Now we’re back in the office and up to our elbows in alligators, and I’ve had no chance to finish the post I’d started last night (lamb meatloaf – you get it next week). So you get a couple of random pictures instead. Mardi Gras Beads I took these down from their place of honor (a floor lamp in our bedroom) and shot this photo two days ago in honor of Fat Tuesday. I love these beads and will never give them away because I acquired them on Bourbon Street during the trip to New Orleans where Beloved proposed. A friend sent me this in an email, and for some reason it just cracked me up.

Nick Jaina: No More Than Jonah, No Less Than the Whale (Burlington, Vt.)
We pulled that boat all the way to Lake Champlain, with Poppa Neutrino sitting on top because he lacked the strength to walk as fast as us. The cheap caster wheels disintegrated under the weight, so we had to stop on the sidewalk and go find more wheels to bolt to the bottom. We trundled down the street making a noise like an army of skateboarders. We rolled past a graveyard, where the young men looked up from their lawn mowers to see what we were doing. Poppa and his crew handed out Mardi Gras beads to everyone we passed by. At one point we had to stop to fix the wheels and I walked past three men with big bellies who were laughing at us. One of them said to me, “What is this, some protest? What are you guys protesting?” And I said, “Nah, it’s not a protest. He’s gonna sail around the world.” To which he had no reply.

A Halloween Treat
She also got a pinata in the shape of a pumpkin and filled it with little toys like Mardi Gras beads, yo-yos, and other things ... and completely forgot the candy. Dinner was "mummy dogs" (hot dogs wrapped in dough), baked beans, vegetable lasagna, salad, and breadsticks. We brought these Halloween sugar cookies, as baked by my super-talented friend who owns Smackerals by Michelle . There can never be too many desserts. We had a cupcake tower (including several pumpkin whoopie pies by Michelle), the sugar cookies, a chocolate cake, and pumpkin pie. ? Dunking a cookie into my coffee. Boo got a kick out of a cookie being named for him (and yes, he did ask where the Betty was). Thanks again for making Halloween such a special treat, Mom! copyright 2010, Melissa (Betty and Boo's Mommy, The Betty and Boo Chronicles) If you are reading this on a blog or website other than The Betty and Boo Chronicles or via a feedreader, this content has been stolen and used without permission.

Would You Believe Me?
Would you believe me if I said I spent the weekend with a bear, moose, few wolves, a beaver and an eagle? Sounds pretty ridiculous right? Oh yeah they were stuffed. Not to mention the random shoe I remember from High School, the Teletubbie, some bad dudes from my brother’s toy box, Winnie the Pooh and Mardi Gras Beads. It was a wild time. Oh and my church women too…they were the best reason to go. I was at a women’s conference all weekend and dead tired. My head is hitting the pillow as soon as I finish typing this. Now the goals…

Blu-ray Review: Hatchet: Unrated Director's Cut
That said: it's a pretty crummy-looking movie to begin with. The early, daytime scenes are easily the cheapest looking in the movie, but the transfer does a good job of adding some level of texture and dimensionality. Skin tones look good, colors (like the pearlescent Mardi Gras beads strung around peoples' necks) pop admirably, and even the make-up on Tony Todd looks pretty great. When the movie shifts to the night boat cruise, and into the darker phase of the film (which lasts for the duration of its running time), the transfer keeps up. Had the black levels been bungled, then the entire movie would have been nearly unwatchable. Thankfully, the transfer keeps things deep and inky and, what's more, there's some nice depth to these sequences; only occasionally will things get flat and blurry.

Ruffling Feathers
More than once online or in person, a genealogical discussion veered into real life or politics and flame wars happened, or worse. As I pointed out in my posting, I am gun shy about such things for a reason. Isn't highly ironic that I'm now being bullied by a gay man who wears Mardi Gras beads?

Review: Disneyland’s Cafe Orleans
Princess and the Frog Highlights Princess and the Frog Overlay with Walt's Espresso Machine Chandelier with Mardi Gras Beads While there is indoor and outdoor seating, the patio is clearly the place to be if you can get there! However, personally, I enjoyed sitting inside with ample air conditioning and a view of the espresso maker that’s been in the restaurant since Walt’s day.
