Chef's Notes
Eggs poached in a spicy, savory tomato sauce: this dish serves itself. It's my go-to when I show up at someone's house and everyone is hungry. Chances are, there are eggs and a can of tomatoes on hand. Outside of that foundation, you can be as creative or as simple about adding anything else as you like.
Jerusalem artichokes, if you've never had them, taste and feel like a cross between potatoes and artichoke hearts; along with the fava beans, they make this dish special. They do need to be prepared separately, but you can do that in advance if it makes your life (and cooking timeline) easier. If you have trouble tracking either ingredient down, substitute any root vegetable-turnips, potatoes, even beets-for the Jerusalem artichokes, and a cup of shelled fresh or frozen beans, such as limas, for the fava beans.
Once you put pan to stove, the rest of the dish comes together quite quickly, so, for the sake of the vegetables' flavor and texture, make sure everything is prepped and ready to go. Dress it up or down with your favorite vegetables or meats-whatever's on hand-along with any herbs and spices you like. Tomatoes are the perfect backdrop. You'll need one egg per person, as few as two or as many as six. Part of the fun is making this dish your own, but one word of advice: try it with the zhoug, a spicy Yemeni green chile sauce, like the Middle Eastern approach to pesto. Its fresh, herbal heat is the perfect finishing touch.
Ingredients
Plenty of water, for the Jerusalem artichokes, fava beans, and an ice bath
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Morton kosher salt, divided
½ pound Jerusalem artichokes
1 pound fava beans in their shells
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 28-ounce can peeled whole tomatoes
1 egg per person
¼ cup zhoug
Directions
Fill a large pot with the water and 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Thoroughly scrub the Jerusalem artichokes; if they're large or unevenly sized, cut them into even chunks. Boil for 30 to 35 minutes, until they're about the consistency of a cooked potato, easily pierced with a knife but not falling apart. Drain, and when they're cool enough to handle, slice into little coins.
Fill another pot with water and bring it to a boil; meanwhile, prepare an ice bath. Cook the fava beans for 5 minutes, or until the outer shell puffs up and pulls away from the bean. The water in the pot will turn reddish, but don't freak out-that's normal. Shock the beans in the ice bath to stop the cooking, then shell them when they've cooled down. You should have about 1 cup beans.
Add the olive oil to a large enameled or stainless-steel skillet that has a lid (but don't use the lid just yet). Turn the heat to high, and when the oil is shimmering, pull the skillet off the heat and carefully add the cherry tomatoes; they'll give offa lot of smoke and may splatter. Place the pan back on the heat, and don't stir; you want the tomatoes to char lightly in a few places.
After a couple of minutes, when the tomatoes are startingto blister, stir in the bell peppers, onion, and garlic.Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes or so, until all the vegetables are a little golden around the edges and the cherry tomatoes are melting into everything else.
Decrease the heat to medium, and add the Jerusalem artichokes, favas, and remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Roughly crush the canned tomatoes between your fingers, or chop them, and add them to the pan with their juice. Cook the sauce for a couple of minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Decrease the heat to medium-low, and use your spoon to make little divots in the sauce, one per egg. Crack an egg into each, cover the pan, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the egg white is set but the center still jiggles. Dollop a spoonful of zhoug over each egg before serving.
The iconic Preservation Hall Jazz Band tuba that was stolen from creative director Ben Jaffe's car is home.
Photo courtesy Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Jaffe announced the return of the prized instrument in a Facebook post on the band's page. He said the band was able to get the tuba back through an anonymous tip. Jaffe had offered a reward for the return of the tuba with no questions asked.
The distinctive tuba, which had the band's name and "New Orleans" emblazoned across the bell, was stolen out of Jaffe's car on February 24.
"I want to thank everyone near and far for the overwhelming show of support!" Jaffe said. "As you can imagine, the horn's signature lettering had been removed and it suffered a little damage, but nothing a bit of 'Tender Loving Repair' can't remedy! It was through the outpouring of concern that the message spread and led to the tuba's successful return. Words cannot express our appreciation for all the support and effort that went into getting the word out."

When it comes to animal births at Audubon Zoo, the job is usually left to nature.
Recently, however, the Zoo's veterinary staff had to step in, lending a helping hand to deliver a female black howler monkey via Caesarian section
The successful January 3rd procedure was a first involving a primate for Dr. Robert MacLean, Audubon Nature Institute Senior Veterinarian, and Associate Veterinarian, Dr. James Grillo.
"Calliope" - along with mother Salsa, a 22-year-old also born at Audubon Zoo, and 12-year-old sister Nakum - have spent about two months behind the scenes in the care of animal staff. Given clean bills of health, the trio has joined father, Mijo, 17, who came to Audubon in 2003, in their habitat in the Zoo's World of Primates.
Prolonged labor with a lack of progress (or a dystocia in medical terminology) can occur in any mammal, according to MacLean, who has delivered domestic dogs, cats, and cattle by Caesarian section in the past.
"In this case, we were able to diagnose a problem with Salsa's cervix, which had a prominent scar, likely from a previous birth,'' he said. "We elected to do an emergency Cesarean, which went well.''
MacLean said risks when performing a Caesarian section are considered low to moderate when the procedure is done in time.
Potential problems, however, include infection in either mother or baby; breathing complications for the newborn; and possible rejection of the infant by the mother, which would require hand-raising by staff.
None of the issues arose with Salsa and her baby.
The howler monkey - aptly named for its cacophonous vocalizations - has faced challenges due to hunting and habitat loss across the species' native Central and South America habitat.
Audubon Zoo is an active participant in the Howler Monkey Species Survival Plan, a cooperative, inter-zoo program coordinated nationally through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Species Survival Plans help to ensure the survival of selected species in zoos and aquariums.
For that reason, Salsa and Mijo - who have now produced four offspring - are playing an important conservation role.
"Salsa is an extremely valuable animal because her genetics are so diverse,'' said Courtney Eparvier, curator of primates at Audubon Zoo. "And it's important that those genetics get passed on to future Howler Monkeys to maintain a healthy population.''
Howler Monkey Facts:
Black Howler Monkeys are unique in that they have "prehensile" tails that act like an extra limb to maneuver through the tree canopy. The tail also allows them to hang while using their arms to gather leaves to eat.
The pad on their tails has a unique "tail print" just like a fingerprint that is individual to each animal.
Howler Monkeys like to spend time grooming each other to maintain the social structure and relationships within the groups.
Their howls can be heard through the dense South American forest from up to three miles away.
The vocalizations make the Howler Monkey the loudest New World animal (animals native to the Western Hemisphere) living on land.
Males use their howls to defend and protect territory.
Although howls take place at various times throughout the day, the morning and the evening is prime time for sending the message to others that the area is already occupied.

Classes with Curators | Looking Again: Histories of Photography
The Radical Buffoon(s) present their second full production of Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter.
A stealthy one-act, The Dumb Waiter starts simple - and familiarly - enough. Two hit men await their instructions in an undisclosed and windowless basement. Killers with little to do except kill time they navigate their claustrophobic space as well as each other as best they can. But soon enough a series of odd circumstances catapult their pedestrian limbo into an absurd comedy of nerves, uncertainty, and ambiguity. Accentuated even further by this production's unique conceit: each night the two actors will take the stage, solicit a coin from the audience and give it a flip to decide who will play whom.

For 41 years, the Preservation Resource Center's Julia Jump has been one of the city's most exciting Spring events. What started as a small campaign to save Julia Row has evolved into our annual major fundraiser, supporting the preservation of historic architecture and neighborhoods city-wide. This year's Jump, chaired by Melissa Eversmeyer and Shon Cowan Baker, will take place on Friday, March 16, 2018 at The NOCCA Institute's Solomon Family Hall (2800 Chartres Street). Join us for an evening of exceptional cuisine, a fantastic silent auction, and live music by NOCCA students and Bon Bon Vivant, for a 1920s-themed soirée.
We are thrilled to celebrate our 41st Julia Jump in an incredible example of adaptive reuse, and to shed more light on the critically important historical event which happened a few steps away on Press street and Royal - the arrest of Homer Plessy, which led to the landmark Plessy v. Ferguson case that challenged the Separate Car Act.

Oxbow Meet the Brewer Friday March 16th 5pm
(5 drafts, all upstairs, plus rare bottle pours)
We are ecstatic to be welcoming our friends from Oxbow Brewing Company for their Louisiana debut! Tim Adams (head brewer/owner) and Will Sears (label artist) will be joining us for an evening of amazing Farmhouse Ales and experimental styles. These beers are near and dear to our heart and we are beyond excited to be offering several of them on draft as well as some special bottle pours.
Oxbow has specialized in brewing traditional Belgian-style Farmhouse Ales since its humble beginnings in 2011. Since then, the brewery has kept true to its roots, brewing small batches of stellar ales (and some lagers!), all of which is overseen by the incredibly talented Oxbow crew.
We have a very limited amount of these beers and therefore don't anticipate them lasting. This event is not ticketed and the beers will be served on a first come, first served basis. The beer list for the event is as follows...
Draft Beers:
Farmhouse Pale Ale - Farmhouse Ale, exclusively brewed with American-grown hops.
Crossfade - well-hopped, stainless steel-aged, Saison, fermented with Brett.
Moon Rocks - Grisette of mixed fermentation, brewed with wheat and spelt.
Cavern - Farmhouse Ale, age brewed with Cara Cara orange zest, then aged in oak puncheons with Cara Cara orange, mixed yeast cultures, and bacteria.
BOBASA - Blend of 3 vintages of smoked Biere de Garde, barrel-aged in white wine barrels.
Rare (some quite hard to find) Bottle Pours:
Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Pale Ale - A blend of varying vintages of the Farmhouse Pale Ale, aged in French & American Oak.
Sasuga - Farmhouse Ale brewed with rice, then aged in stainless steel.
Liquid Swords 2017 - Oxbow's annual Grand Cru blend of barrel-aged Biere de Gardes and dark Farmhouse Ales.
Arboreal - Amber Sour Ale, fermented and aged in American Oak.
Life On - Barrel-aged Biere de Mars. Blend of fresh and aged ales.
Catalyst - Barrel-aged Farmhouse Ale, brewed with honey, aged in oak, and fermented with mixed cultures.
Cletus - Barrel-aged dark Farmhouse Ale, fermented with mixed cultures and aged in freshly emptied Bourbon barrels.
Momoko - Barrel-aged Farmhouse Ale with peaches.
Burial Beer & Creature Comforts: Sat. March 17th, Mid Afternoon
We are enthralled to be joined by our friends from Creature Comforts and Burial Beer Co. to launch their special collaboration beer, Golden Feather. Chief Shaka Zulu (Big Chief of the Yellow Pocahontas Tribe in NOLA) is at the heart of this beer. Burial Beer Company sponsors a program through a non-profit called LEAF in Asheville. They organize programs that expose Asheville kids to other cultures (generally international with the exception of New Orleans) and vice versa. Burial and Great Raft sponsored the New Orleans program last year, but they wanted to do more than just write a check to get the program up and running. Chief Shaka is a huge supporter of LEAF and is all about ensuring the Mardi Gras Indian culture in New Orleans stays relevant.

WHAT: Verbatim Verboten, the invasion-of-privacy revue. WHO: Produced by Clove Productions. Directed and hosted by Mason Joiner. Created by Michael Martin. WHERE: The Valiant Theatre & Lounge, 6621 St Claude, Arabi.
WHEN: Every other Saturday, 10:30pm, beginning Mar 17, 31; Apr 14. (Additional dates confirmed by March 20.)
HOW: $10 at the door. Reservations 504-298-8676 or
cloveproductions@gmail.com.
The long-running but intermittent comedy revue, Verbatim Verboten, settles in for its first run in over two years, at the Valiant Theatre in Arabi. Directed and emceed by Mason Joiner, regulars in the rotating cast include Andy Nemo, Audrey Wagner, Jesse Stephens, Rebecca Fox, Cameron-Mitchell Ware, Harold Gervais, LaKesha Glover, Drew Cothern, Shelley Johnson, and Matthew Rigdon. Valiant artistic director Richard Mayer, a VV vet as both director and actor, provides guidance from behind the curtain.
Verbatim Verboten creator Michael Martin celebrates the rebirth of his brainchild with a slew of new material for the actors to tackle. Word-for-word transcripts of the famous and the notorious (plus a few regular people, for variety) in an ever-changing revue of exchanges the public wasn't meant to hear: surveillance tapes, secretly recorded conversations, forgotten open mics, on-camera diatribes, released emails, private correspondence, et cetera. Mason and his cast deliver the unvarnished, verbatim goods...with, perhaps, some interpretive license, every now and then.

The full moon calendar 2018 Here you see the full moon calendar with the full moon dates of 2018 and exact times and dates in an overview. Friday, 2 March 2018, 01:51:24 am
At the time of this spring Moon, the ground begins to soften and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of robins. This is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.
Saturday, 31 March 2018, 02:36:54 pm Monday, 30 April 2018, 02:58:12 am Tuesday, 29 May 2018, 04:19:36 pm Thursday, 28 June 2018, 06:53:00 am Friday, 27 July 2018, 10:20:24 pm [**] Sunday, 26 August 2018, 01:56:12 pm Tuesday, 25 September 2018, 04:52:30 am Wednesday, 24 October 2018, 06:45:12 pm Friday, 23 November 2018, 06:39:18 am Saturday, 22 December 2018, 06:48:36 pm
March 2018 is a special month, not only because it's when the spring equinox occurs, but also because it will host two full Moons-one on the 1st and another on the 31st (just as we had two full Moons in January).
The first full Moon is traditionally called a Full Worm Moon after the earthworms that emerge at this time of year.
March's Full Moon is traditionally called the Full Worm Moon by the Native Americans who used lunar phases to track the seasons. Colonial Americans also used these names, especially those of the local Algonquin tribes who lived between New England and Lake Superior.
At the time of this Moon, the ground begins to soften enough for earthworm casts to reappear, inviting the return of robins and migrating birds.
Roots start to push their way up through the soil, and the Earth experiences a re-birth as it awakens from its winter slumber.
In some regions, this is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.
When two full Moons occur in a single calendar month, the second is called a Blue Moon. In March 2018, a Blue Moon will occur on the 31st.

Giant Saxophone Arrives in New Orleans for City's Tricentennial
Jazz is a music genre created by African Americans who lived in Louisiana. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, musicians gathered around New Orleans to play rhythmic styles such as swing, bebop, and free jazz on their brass and woodwind instruments. One of the most notable instruments of the jazz sound is the saxophone.
Musicians such as John Coltrane, Charlie Parker and Stan Getz have popularized the saxophone throughout the years. Most people would deduce that since jazz finds its origins in the deep south of New Orleans, subsequently, the saxophone was born there as well. Truth is, the saxophone doesn't bear its roots from Southern USA, but hails from Southern Belgium.
During the early 1840s, a Belgian musician by the name of Mr. Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone. The saxophone is a single-reed instrument made of metal, with a conical bore. The saxophone player blows air into the instrument, creating a vibration that radiates an octave sound out of the bell and any open holes. Known for its romantic, alluring sounds, the saxophone is a fan favorite among music lovers all across the globe.
On April 5th, 2018, the city of New Orleans will celebrate its 300th anniversary. As a gift from the city of Namur, Belgium, FedEx will transport a giant saxophone to New Orleans for the city's tricentennial celebration. This special saxophone was painted by Dimitri Perpete (shown in the photo). The saxophone will be presented to the city, as the double-sided painting on the saxophone commemorates the musical connection between the instrument's birthplace and the world's capital of jazz.
FedEx donated shipping of the giant saxophone from Houyet, Belgium to New Orleans, USA, and it arrived safely just in time for Mardi Gras. The dedication of the sculpture will take place during the April 5thtricentennial celebration.
You can be sure that this celebration will be one to remember, as the sounds of the saxophone playing will ignite chants of 'Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler,' a Cajun expression meaning 'let the good times roll'!
