Bayou Life

Since I can't be at Nunu's Nightlite tonight . . .

ByCapt. Wendy January 18, 2008June 27, 2018

I’ll bring Nunu’s Nightlife to me and to you . . .

Honey, this was one “hot” couple! (That is Roddy Romero in the background and his Hub City Allstar Band from Lafayette, Louisiana.)

See what I mean? HOT! HOT! HOT! About halfway through the evening, he disappeared for a few minutes and came back in with a fresh shirt on! Now, that’s being serious about your dancing! (If you’d like to read about our trip to Breaux Bridge and Arnaudville, LA, be my guest!)

Restoration

We need a Wetlands Protection Act!

There I was, sitting in a crowded waiting area, when my eyes fell upon the only magazine I would even care to take off the rack: Cabela’s Outfitter Journal, the October issue. I’d never seen the magazine before, and hey, who knows? I might want to write for them. The wait was long enough that…

Fishing | Fishing Charters

New Year Red Fish!

It was my great pleasure to bring in the new year with a fishing trip on January 3rd with the distinguished Dr. Kenneth Klaus, of Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, LA. Along with him were his two sons, musical geniuses in their own right.

Fishing

Marsh Fishing

Termite and I started the day like this . . . and we found some of these . . . This beauty . . . and others like it . . . And the day ended pretty much like it started . . .

BW Cooks | Preserves

Mock Strawberry Preserves Made with Figs!

I’ve been making this recipe for a long time. See the year in the upper right-hand corner of the card? Now that we have the old recipe, how about a step-by-step pictorial of the recipe? (All you seasoned “canners” out there can just skip all this, because it is intended for those Googlers who are…

BW Cooks | Crab

Bayou-licious Crabs!

Oh, honey, you might never eat a boiled crab again after you sample these finger-licking-good delicacies that come from the brackish waters down the bayou. (Of course, any blue crab will work just as well.)

Wanderings

Riding High on the Victory Cloud!

LOWA, the Louisiana Outdoor Writers Association, recruited me for membership back in 2005 based on my book, Before the Saltwater Came. I didn’t see how such a book qualified me for membership, but it did. Among the handful of women members at that time was Susan Gros, a national fishing champion, and I was starry eyed and a wee bit intimidated!

Was she wearin those cool boots?

Funny you should ask. HH and I stared at her feet for a long time to see what kind of “dancin’ shoes” she was wearing, and they weren’t boots.

Wow! that looks like fun! If I come down to LA can I find a guy to dance with, too? Tony doesn’t dance unless the pavement is hot….

Thanks for sharing this view of your nightlife! As much as I enjoy zydeco music, I’ve never heard it live. I did inform Tony though that if I ever had another wedding it would be a potluck dinner in the back yard with a zydeco band while we danced barefoot on the lawn. Now THAT would be a fun wedding!

Yes, we will dance with you!!! That would be a fun wedding! Really, this night was a rare occasion for both of us. We just observed and had a blast doing it!

Hey, BW, I just read your comments on Heather’s blog! Sorry about mixing up the boy’s names! If it’s any consolation, I often call people in my own family by other names…yeah, I’m that kind of dope. ;- )

No problem. I’m impressed that you even remembered Termite’s name, really. I figured you’d figure it out sooner or later!

  Hi Susie, Let’s see, uh, it’s in Arnauldville at the junction of La. 31/93 out on the right just before a big curve to the left!!! It sits on the banks of Bayou Teche (?) and it used to be the old Western Auto store !!!! Do you know where that is now?
