NATIONAL RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY

Each year on February 17th, National Random Acts of Kindness Day grows in popularity. It is celebrated by individuals, groups, and organizations nationwide to encourage acts of kindness.

The movement of Random Acts of Kindness inspires people every day. As a favorite celebration for many, people everywhere are enjoying doing these acts of kindness. Not only do the acts of kindness bring joy to the receiver, but they spread positive reactions to the giver, too!   

"I was a recipient of the kindness but more glad to be a contributor!" (Unknown)

Our research found that the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation celebrates Random Acts of Kindness Week. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is an internationally recognized non-profit organization founded upon the powerful belief in kindness and dedicated to providing resources and tools that encourage acts of kindness.

In New Zealand, where this day originated, Random Acts of Kindness Day is celebrated on September 1st. However, it is also recognized by some on other days throughout the year. Nevertheless, doing random acts of kindness is something that can be done every day of the year.

A Few Quotes of Kindness:

• "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." (Mark Twain)
• "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." (Aesop)
• "Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end." (Scott Adams)
• "Kind words and actions can seem so small, but their effects are truly endless." (Author Unknown)

Clearwater Clearwater Invitational

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Following a seesaw affair between nationally ranked teams, No. 12 LSU’s Danieca Coffey scored on a walk-off sacrifice fly by Raeleen Gutierrez to defeat No. 22 Northwestern, 13-12 on Friday afternoon in the Clearwater Invitational at the Eddie C. Moore Complex.

LSU (7-0) overcame an early 5-0 deficit with seven unanswered runs to lead 7-5 through four innings. Northwestern (4-2) trailed 8-7 before responding with a five-run top of the sixth to regain the advantage. 

Behind 12-8 with no outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth, LSU’s Ali Newland blasted her third career grand slam to center field, knotting the contest at 12-12. 

Coffey opened the bottom of the seventh with a double and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Ciara Briggs. Two batters later, Gutierrez’s fly ball to center field was deep enough to allow Coffey to score from third for the Tigers’ victory.

Tet Festival in New Orleans East is Vietnamese food heaven. Here’s how to do it right

• BY IAN MCNULTY

Attending the Tet Festival in New Orleans East always feels like a feast for the senses even before the first bite.

Fireworks and a dragon dance start things off, musicians perform on stage and there’s an undercurrent of gleeful children ricocheting around the festival grounds, many blasting silly string at each other.

A tent full of games of chance pulses with activity as people plunk down tokens by the fistful and roll the dice. Food tents are lined with open-air kitchens and dining hall-style seating, filled with sounds and aromas of Vietnamese cooking.

Here someone’s tending a cauldron of pho, there someone pulls puffy fried bananas from vats of oil and another is whipping spring rolls together with the speed of a piano virtuoso at the keys.

Tet is the Vietnamese celebration of the Lunar New Year; the biggest local celebration is the Tet Festival put on annually by Mary Queen of Vietnam Church in New Orleans East. The fest takes place this weekend, Feb. 16-18.

For those who already know and love Vietnamese cooking, Tet Festival is a wonderland of abundance. For those just beginning to explore the cuisine, it provides a deep, headfirst dive into its flavors.

It also shows what happens when a tight-knit community comes together to cook, eat and share with others. That’s a familiar starting point for many a celebration in Louisiana, and it sounds like a good start to the year to me.

What to know if you go

Tet Festival is held on the church grounds, found a few blocks off Chef Menteur Highway in the middle of the Village de L'Est neighborhood, a hub of the local Vietnamese community.

Admission is free and so is parking at the large lot just next to the church grounds.

It’s good to have a stash of cash on hand for the various games and vendors, and there are ATMs on-site.

About 15,000 people typically attend the three-day festival. They’re drawn from around the region with some visitors driving in from Pensacola or Houston.

Increasingly, the festival has seen a rise in people from outside the Vietnamese community, said Deacon Vinh Tran, one of the organizers, and this has been a very welcome development, he said.

“We try to open the door to everybody,” Tran told me.

The music lineup has expanded from traditional and pop Vietnamese bands to include popular acts from the regional party circuit. This year that brings the No Idea Band (Feb. 17, from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.) and Groovy 7 (Feb. 18., from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.).

PHOTO BY SHAWN FINK

A dragon dance and fireworks display start things off on Friday around 6 p.m., and these repeat around the same time Saturday and Sunday.

This is a very family-oriented festival, run by the church, and between all the school fair-style games and the booths selling toys, it can feel like a playground for young kids.

It’s also a party for the adults. Cases of Heineken and Bud Light are stacked everywhere.

A food romp

The food at Tet comes from teams of cooks formed through ministries within the church. It is a blend of street food, festival food and home-style recipes, and includes much that’s not normally found at restaurants in New Orleans.

It’s tempting to grab the first dishes you spot (for my godson last year, that was a Korean corn dog filled with mozzarella and crusted with Cheetos, from one of the decidedly less-traditional food stands).

But I recommend strolling the grounds to assess your options. Many food booths have their items on display or pictured on menu boards, and across the different tents and booths, you’ll find some variations on the same dish. This isn't a cooking competition, per se, but Tran confirms that there is indeed a competitive streak across the teams.

There are at least three versions of pho in the works this year, and other regional soups like bun bo hue, a richer, brawnier soup, and hu tieu, a regional specialty from the Mekong delta in the south of Vietnam with a lighter broth and thicker, udon-like noodles with a mix of pork and seafood.

Keep browsing and you’ll find green pandan waffles, banh cuon (rice noodle rolls, which are slippery, sticky like free-form crepes made of noodle), crispy salt and pepper shrimp, crabs fried in their shells and goi ca, a raw fish dish somewhere between ceviche and salad to fold into rice paper rolls.

Then there's trung vit long, or fertilized duck egg. It’s best known by its Filipino name duck balut. With all its crunchy bits, there’s no missing that you’re eating an unhatched duck embryo when you bite in (after a few tries, I’ve decided this is one acquired taste I have not acquired).

To slurp or not to slurp?

The best approach is to go with a family or a few friends and sample a range of dishes, all the better if you're close enough with your companions to share the same soup.

Tran also confirms that audible slurping is a sign of appreciation. 

“At least for people of my generation,” he added. “The younger people, they don’t like to do that, but for us, if you hear people slurping, you know that’s a good pho.”

Walking the grounds means watching how many of the dishes come together as teams work in outdoor kitchens open to view. Someone is washing fresh herbs, another person is grilling meat, another has watchful eyes on the broth.

Tran said this reflects a key part of Tet traditions from home cooking.

“I compare Tet to Thanksgiving,” he said. “You want to go home to family, and when everyone is together you cook and prepare. You never see one person in a Vietnamese holiday kitchen. It’s the whole family. Everyone has a responsibility to put the meal together.”

National Cabbage Day on February 17th recognizes a delightful garden staple that provides some of the best recipes for the Celtic holidays coming up next month. It's an excellent day to test your corned beef and cabbage skills alongside other delicious seasonal dishes. 

From the French caboche, meaning head, cabbage comes in a variety of forms. The cabbage family is quite varied and includes Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, kohlrabi and kale. Cabbage is an ancient food with origins in Asia Minor (Turkey today) and the eastern Mediterranean.

French explorer Jacques Cartier was the first to bring cabbage to the Americas.

When selecting a cabbage, the head should be firm and dense. The fibrous leaves of a healthy cabbage should be shiny and crisp with no browning or bruising.

Cabbage is versatile and can be eaten raw, steamed or sautéd. A popular ingredient in Asian, German, Irish and Latin recipes, it's a culturally diverse food. Having low calories (6 per leaf) makes cabbage a popular diet food as well. It has no fat or cholesterol, is low in sodium and carbs, and is a good source of Vitamin C.

Since the arrival of Chinese plantation workers on the Westbank of New Orleans in 1870, several waves of Chinese immigration and settlement have taken place in this city. Chinese Americans established laundries, shops, restaurants, and other businesses, they have worked in universities, hospitals, engineering companies, and other fields, and at one point there was even a Chinatown in New Orleans. Despite their small numbers, Chinese Americans are concentrated in a few key industries, where they have made a disproportionately important contribution to the economy of New Orleans, and they have overcome many challenges to do so.

Doors open at 1:00 pm. This event is FREE and open to the public. Ample parking is available at the rear of the building. Enjoy delicious German food, tasty beers and a full bar.

The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.

Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way. 

The list of performers? A total mystery. 

The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them. 

How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket. 

When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set. 

Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

The Historic New Orleans Collection

For the Ursuline sisters who came to New Orleans from Rouen in 1727, just nine years after the city’s founding, music was an essential part of their education and a meaningful link with their home in France.

The nuns at the Ursuline convent were known for singing and playing musical instruments, and in 1752, the sisters received a manuscript of 296 songs sent from France. Prepared in 1736 by an amateur scribe and decorated with charming drawings and flourishes, the manuscript is a copy of the popular collection "New spiritual and moral poems on the most beautiful tunes of French and Italian music" / "Nouvelles poësies spirtuelles et morales sur les plus beaux airs de la musique françoise et italienne."

On February 28, hear this beautiful music performed live at St. Louis Cathedral by the Grammy-award winning Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and special guests Filament and Variant 6! Admission is free and open to the public.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.

Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.

Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.

The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.

One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”

Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.
