Happy Easter to all

 

I saw Carlita Zummo in her Easter sweater at Taste of Gumbo, so I know that spring is in the air.

Pick some flowers, plant a garden and feed the seagulls on the sea wall. Most importantly, hug a friend this season to spread some joy.

Let the chefs cook

Would you let the Golden Triangle Chefs’ Association prepare you a Cajun catfish with Creole mustard dinner for $30? Maybe you’d pick the baked chicken breast with roasted cherry tomato white wine butter sauce.

And you get to enjoy it all with Port Arthur area friends and visitors by attending Southern Summer Night, now set for 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 20, at the Carl A. Parker Multipurpose Center. Classics Recovered and Jag will play this event to benefit Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce and the Port Arthur Seafarers’ Center.

Sorry, it wasn’t Amuny’s

I came into a sandwich and cut a half for my husband’s dinner. He said it was okay, but he didn’t like the tuna part. I told him I bet he didn’t because the wrapper said it was pulled pork. He pulled that part right out of the sandwich.

What made it worse, is that when he first saw it, he thought it was an Amuny’s sandwich. Boy, did I feel bad that he even for a moment thought he was getting a taste of one of Port Arthur’s most flavorful delicacies ever. It was a dirty sandwich trick and I’ll have to make it up to him.
