Throw Back Thursday: N’Awlins Style

With all the hubbub going around with Throw Back Thursday, I thought I would re-share my very first blog post. The one that started it all. I originally made the post on another blogger, I mean...umm...crap...., another blog site. I didn't have much to say back then. The original intro was only two sentences; then …
