Being a professional singer with Dirty Tate and the Boys (DTB) doesn’t come without some struggles. It was a warm spring evening in the city of Hutchinson, and DTB was in need of some Aviators, ties, and food. We decided to resolve some of our struggles at Walmart, where we proceeded to buy the Aviators and ties. This made all of us even more hungry, so we decided to go to our favorite restaurant that provides half-priced appetizers after 9 o’clock. Applebee’s is known for their special deal, but it is also well known for it’s savory food and wonderful service.

On Sunday September 17, at 10 a.m until 6 p.m. I went to an event to celebrate Las Fiestas Patrias. La Que Buena; a speaking Spanish radio station made this event happen. The radio station had guest like “Voz de Mando” “Christian Nodal” “Maximo Grado” and many more. These artist play “Regional Mexican Music,” they are different type of music that fall into this category. For example; corridos, mariachi, banda, Conjunto norteño. The musicians just go play live for the audience and people enjoy eating their favorite Mexican food and listen to them play. There was food like, tacos, birria, posole, menudo, quesadillas, etc. Also, they had Mexican desserts and candies like, “Tostilocos” one of my favorites, nachos con carne asada, mangoniadas, raspados

explaining that the party was supposed to be a surprise and it got out of hand while they

“It is not (Beetee), it is (Baytee).” We would scream to them very annoyed and of course they would look back at us with snobby looks of disgust, we did not care. It was a very good time. We all had a lot in common because we listened to the same music, we had the same personalities, and we loved being at concerts for the same exact reasons. Ryan Beatty finally came on stage and we were dancing and singing our hearts out with no care in the world. All four of us knew the words to every one of his songs which made him really happy. The concert was coming to a close and we were

The Diners out Handbook by Alfred H. Miles discusses the dining during the 1920’s. The dining table should be one of the top priorities should be the number one place which should be organized. A well-organized table can be both simple and elegant for a dining experience. All that is needed is its white cloth, bright silver, and a shining glass to impress any individual during its time when there is not a party. The accessories of the table have to be exact such as the placement of each piece of silverware (spoons, forks, and knives). This was a key element of proper dining which also had proper appeal. The decoration of the food during this time was very unique. Things such as fruits were used during this time to make tall towers and make them masterpieces (decorations) for parties. Other foods such as Blackened Ham was also used and seen as more elegant (with maraschino cherries placed inside them). Finger foods before the main course or just a snack during a party which was simple to make and a very delightful, light

T-Bois has been in the Falgout family since the 1950’s. Over the years it has been home to a crawfish business, an alligator farm and most importantly, this unique group of people. It has been the central meeting venue of this community for many years. T-Bois Blues Festival, the group’s largest event began as a Good Friday celebration in Larose, Louisiana decades ago. These gatherings, while local and community-oriented, drew in hundreds of people in the first years. The focus of this group was to bring together the locals and unite the essences of cajun culture. Over the years, T-Bois has grown exponentially. Starting out as a humble gathering of close friends, T-Bois has transformed into something much more. Every year, people from around the world travel to this swampy southern estate to experience this unique fusion of blues music, cajun food, untamed wilderness and street art that can only be found in

Despite Lyman’s assurance that "The kid got himself in a little trouble," several concertgoers were not happy with Lyman’s decision and felt it their job to let it be known, heckling him during his basement performance. Even musicians such as Hayley Williams have spoken out against the “amount of pervy/predatory vibes that are surrounding the tour this summer…” and Beartooth’s Taylor Lumley, suggested that “If you have any dignity or respect for this music scene,…” you will boycott Front Porch Step’s

“Stop complaining Valtersen, you have a party to host.” she smirks. He throws his head back and groans. Normally he greatly enjoys parties, but turns out, it’s considerably different when you are the one hosting it. Eskild, Noora, and Linn only agreed to let him have I here if he promised to clean up afterward alone, and to prepare everything himself. Secretly, he thinks Eskild wanted the party, he just doesn't want to help. And he calls Isak lazy.

The blazing hot sun beamed down on my skin as the song “Mardi Gras Mambo,” a traditional song almost everyone in Louisiana has heard once before replayed continuously and the shouts, “Throw me some beads mister,” overwhelmed me. For years, I had waited to finally be a part of this, no longer was I an average citizen at the corner of Capitol Street, hoping to be in knowledge. I was a part of something grand, Mardi Gras. This was the first time I was getting to ride on the float with my older cousins and other various family members. I never realized how much work was put in to ensure success by the end of the night. I remeber how I stayed awake the night before, restlessly pacing across the floor. It was to the point that I begin making a checklist, as I scuffled my feet across the house, making sure that everything was in place.

Anyone can eat soul food on any particular day of the year. However, it is something distinctive about preparing and eating soul food on Thanksgiving Day. Soul food is considered to be fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, breaded fried okra and yams. The preparation and consumption of soul food have been a staple in my family’s tradition for many generations. Perchance the food tastes better because of the cool crisp air, or maybe it’s the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. I honestly don’t know why, but I feel like this should be a paten scientific theory. Everything just feels right on this day, as if the world halts for a split second and it is at harmony. Possibly that is why the food is cooked to perfection. Even the process of preparing the meal is practically better than eating the food.

Every year, a few days before Christmas break, my Spanish teacher hosts a Christmas party for all of the faculty. The students in his Spanish four class are responsible for preparing Hispanic influenced cuisine. However, the whole fiesta is coordinated by those brave enough to venture into AP Spanish. Although I’m in the level four course, my teacher assigned me as the chief organizer and décor extraordinaire. We only had four weeks to pull everything together so time was of the essence. By infusing a lot of positive energy and publicity about the occasion, we managed to spread the news and excitement among the faculty. Despite a few challenges with communication and organization, we managed to pull it off with great success. The teachers

But now, I think it is time to say a few words about my observations at that “party” because it is being duplicated elsewhere. I hope no one will be offended; this is supposed to be a call for reflection.

Life can be busy theses days, right? We have our careers, children, school among other things going on. Somehow, even though we want the best for ourselves and our children, making healthy meal choices can be challenging. We Tend to make bad choices, due to our hectic schedules and poor planning. How many of you find it challenging to eat healthy while on the go? How many of you would like to eat healthier and maybe save some money at the same time? As my daughter’s and my own schedule become heftier it’s been easy to make unhealthy choices. Concerned with the health risks associated with a poor diet, I decided to look into some ways that I could make changes pertinent to a healthier diet. Today I would like to share

Come on William and Jessica! Not this time, I mean to be fair we can all eat at the Weed on the World Salads’ Round the Globe”. I mean would love the sea food, however, we don't want to eat to heavy so we can have a snack at the movies. Guys please, scary movies are the best last time I felt a sleep. William your pick sound great but is more of a funny movie. I suggest “tan,tan,tan” The New Planet Forest Spirits. Oh wow, the Yellow Submariner sounds like a good Idea, however, I believe Jessica and her date need a little party time this time, let's go to Bongo-Bongo. I feel sorry for Felix this time he should keep the car keys with
