Jazz Fest Chat Noir Poster Through The Years


REMOVED





 The Foundation claims to have trademark "Jazz Fest", which is a common phrase used for festivals all over the world. I seriously doubt it would hold up in Court. I am not rich enough to file suit. The Foundation has bullied printers, artists, and common folk with notice they will sue for use. Thus ZAZZLE  removed any design with the phrase and some with just the words, Jazz and Fest separately. Thus hundreds of my long term designs are no longer for sale there and at other places. I have revised some designs. And will revise more. I think the Foundation is not considering New Orleans heritage with those actions. But the common folk cannot fight back those overly rich folks.

Crazy Cajun Crawfish Facts


LSU studies crawfish because Louisiana exports thousands each year from farms and natural swamps. Crawfish are a healthy food eaten by people for hundreds of years. High in protein, low calories, lots of vitamins, a still natural food no added chemicals or hormones like the other meats. Myths about how to cook them are debunked in a news letter, “Myths persist about saltwater purges, tail curl for cooking crawfish“ (http://www.lsuagcenter.com/)
Seems a simple fresh water wash is fine, and straight tails are OK to eat. Not to mention the added vegetables are also good and healthy.

Weather affects the harvest of Crawfish in Louisiana. The unusual cold and " Polar Vortex" has hurt harvesting and shipping of crayfish from Louisiana. LSU Ag Center says when water temperature reached 60F Degrees crawfish become active.

"Well-below-average temperatures in January will influence the crawfish harvest significantly, according to LSU AgCenter researcher Ray McClain.
“Catch is related to water temperature. Cold weather cuts down on the catch, and extended cold weather negatively affects the growth rates of crawfish,” McClain said.
McClain said once water temperatures go much below 60 degrees, crawfish become less active. Crawfish will not feed well or move around and are less likely to become attracted to the bait in traps."
