Louisiana’s legislature recently wrapped up its special session on tax reform. We’ve been reporting on the play-by-play as the House and Senate wrangle with proposals to adjust the income tax rate, expand the sales tax and make other changes.
The Advocate/Times-Picayune’s editorial director and columnist Stephanie Grace tells us where things landed and how residents might be impacted.
Food is on the brain this time of year, so it’s a good time to think about the environmental impacts of what we eat. Last year, we spoke with Tulane researcher Diego Rose who found that having a particular diet could significantly reduce the average American’s carbon footprint, and as a side-effect, also make them healthier. Today, we revisit that conversation.
The holidays are meant to be relaxing, but there’s often stress around cooking for days like Thanksgiving, especially if you’re a first-timer or if you’re trying out new dishes.
Chef Randy Cheramie, former executive director and senior chef instructor of the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University, shared some holiday cooking tips with host Bob Pavlovich.
