A smokin' gift idea for Dad
Friday, June 19, 2009
A new cookbook has indulged me with a state-by-state list of the best “serious barbecue” restaurants in the country AND recipes from said establishments. Check them out with Dad in mind!
My first time at Hooters: Now, THAT'S March Madness!
Monday, March 23, 2009
My family and I will go just about anywhere to watch our favorite team play in the NCAA tournament. But, a Hooters in Jackson, Mississippi? Darn right, y'all!
Gumbo at the Gumbo Shop - where else?

We got schooled in the fine art of gumbo-making yesterday at the Gumbo Shop in the French Quarter. Bringing home some of their spices, too!
Poolside musings from the Big Easy

Deep thoughts - and a few shallow ones, too - about New Orleans from my little place in the shade.....
Mm-mm, Memphis!
Sunday, March 15, 2009
Turning the corner into a darkish back alley, we noticed the throng of people waiting to outside to get in. "This must be the place," I said. And it was. The Rendezvous. The place where I had the best barbecue of my life.

Pictured above is the home where the Obama family will be spending their Christmas vacation. Ten days of fun in the sun, or as much fun as the Secret Service will allow. Here at BoomerGirl Headquarters, it's 1 degree outside. That's 1, as in the singlest of single digits.
