City Encourages Residents to Recycle ChristmasTrees for Coastal Restoration
NEW ORLEANS - Mayor LaToya Cantrell today reminded residents that the City will continue its program of recycling Christmas trees in an effort to promote the restoration of Louisiana's wetlands and to assist in the protection of the Louisiana coastline. Orleans Parish residents, eligible for collection by the City, are encouraged to recycle their Christmas trees by placing them curbside, before 5 a.m., on their regularly scheduled second collection day that occurs between Jan. 10-12, 2019, for properties served by Richard's Disposal and Metro Services. Properties in the French Quarter or DDD, served by Empire Services, should place their trees curbside before 4 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2019.
Only natural, unflocked trees that are free of all stands and trimming (all ornaments, tinsel, lights and tree stands must be removed by the citizens) can be recycled. Flocked, artificial trees, trees in bags or trees with trimming that has not been removed will be collected with garbage and transported to the landfill. Trees are not to be placed on the neutral grounds, as this delays the collection process.
The City's Department of Sanitation along with its solid waste contractors Metro Services, Richard's Disposal and Empire Services; the City's Office of Resilience and Sustainability; and Leaaf Environmental are working together to collect, sort and bundle the trees, which will be placed in selected coastal zones.
This project is funded by the City's Office of Resilience and Sustainability. In 2018, more than 8,000 Christmas trees were collected in Orleans Parish after the holidays and airlifted by the Louisiana National Guard into the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge as part of a program to create new marsh habitat.
Residents seeking more information should call NOLA 3-1-1.
Just in time for the holiday season, The Historic New Orleans Collection will once again offer Holiday Home and Courtyard Tours of the
Williams Residence. The two-story brick townhouse, built in 1889 and restored in the 1940s, was owned by THNOC's founders General L. Kemper and Leila Williams. Filled with antiques and art collected by the couple in their wide travels, the house was occupied by the Williamses from 1946 through 1964.
From December 1 through December 30, visitors to the residence will learn about the couple's Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve celebrations. The residence will feature a beautifully decorated dining room and elegant tree with vintage ornaments. Photos of their holiday parties will also be on display. In keeping with THNOC founders General and Mrs. L. Kemper Williams's tradition of seasonal greenery, the residence and public spaces at THNOC's Royal Street property are adorned with wreaths, garlands, and flower arrangements-all donated by Arbor House Floral.
Each tour lasts approximately one hour. Tuesday-Saturday tours begin promptly at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., and Sunday tours are offered at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. No tours will be offered while THNOC is closed December 24-25.

Market Umbrella is excited to announce some BIG news! Beginning early next year, we'll be starting two new markets, and moving an existing one to a new location!
Bucktown Harbor Beginning Friday January 4th, CCFM will run a weekly farmers market from 3-7pm at the Bucktown Harbor, located at 325 Metairie-Hammond Highway, just on the Jefferson side of the Orleans/Jefferson border, right on the lake. In an area long known for its seafood, our new market will take place right next to the piers where both recreational and commercial fishermen dock. The market will feature fresh seafood, local produce, grass fed beef, honey and other value-added goods to round out the local selection. With live music every week, kids activities and prepared foods, beat the early morning Saturday crowds of our other markets and come make groceries, have dinner, and enjoy the beautiful lakefront on Friday evenings, year round.
Ochsner The following week, we'll begin a new market at the Ochsner Rehabilitation Center, located at 2614 Jefferson Highway. Join us Wednesdays from 3-7pm weekly, beginning January 9th for our first partnership with Ochsner and with a hospital. Chock full of local produce, seafood, meats, dairy, honey, plant starts, prepared foods and value-added foods, this market will highlight health, with monthly cooking demonstrations by Eat Fit on the first Wednesday of the month, attendance by the LSU Ag Center Nutritionist and more. Good nutrition is the best preventive medicine!
Rusty Rainbow Over the holidays for the next two weeks, our French Market location will be closed as we move to the Bywater! Beginning Wednesday, January 9th, find us at the Rusty Rainbow - the footbridge to Crescent Park - located at Chartres and Piety. With expanded offerings, you'll find a full selection of produce, proteins, bread and value-added goods. We're super excited to bring an array of fresh, local foods to this neighborhood setting.
As always, Crescent City Farmers Markets are producer-only markets that run rain or shine. Our Market Match program, which doubles SNAP dollars spent at market up to $20 per market day, along with our other fresh food incentive programs (WIC Market +, Market Mommas, and the Farmers Market Nutrition Program) will run at all seven of our market locations.
Happy holidays from the farmers, fishermen and all your friends at the CCFM! Market will be closed Tuesday, December 25th and Wednesday, December 26th, so that our vendors can enjoy Christmas day with their loved ones. We tend to forget there is a person behind every product, and the effort that it takes to get it to us. Many farmers pick their crops or go out on the boat the day before market, but the docks are closed, family is in town, and even farmers need a break every now and then. Fret not, we will reopen on Thursday, December 27th at American Can from 3-7pm and will also be open on Saturday the 29th in both the CBD and Rivertown. We're so thankful for our wonderful market community and wish you a wonderful holiday season!

Looking for the tastiest, yet easy-peasy cauliflower recipe? Try this!

"Looped" is a play by Matthew Lombardo that had its Broadway run in 2010.
Based on a real event, "Looped" takes place in the summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead needed eight hours to redub - or loop - one line of dialogue for her last movie, Die! Die! My Darling!! Though Bankhead's outsized personality dominates the play, the sub-story involves her battle of wills with a film editor named Danny Miller, who has been selected to work that particular sound editing session.
Starring Elizabeth Bouvier as Tallulah Bankhead & featuring Greg Nacozy as Danny Miler & Bradley Arsenaux as the off stage voice of Steve, the sound engineer.
