		<title>Masks and Mayhem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A new exhibit in St. Landry Parish depicts the Courir de Mardi Gras.
&#8220;A day like this &#8230; you go out into the countryside, and you hear that haunting melody. And you see &#8216;em. And it&#8217;s an atmosphere that prevails. You can&#8217;t quite describe it. You can&#8217;t quite &#8230; It&#8217;s mystery, a little bit of fear, that old time can&#8217;t-wait-till-Christmas-morning type ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know many of you are wondering about the status of the recording of Flannery O'Connor found at UL Lafayette in late January. Last night was my final class with Dr. Mary Ann Wilson, and she played a few minutes of the recording for us to hear. ]]></description>

		<title>He Brings Me Resurrection Ferns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Laura Sobbott Ross

Not lilies for lovers, or roses
the color of blood cravings—pacts
mingling between velvet, thumb and thorn,
or all those daisies, posies, or pansies—
elfish, stained like Siamese cat faces;
he brings me resurrection ferns.]]></description>

		<title>Where to Eat in the South in 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Southern food is fast becoming the nation's new "it" cuisine. New York restaurants are all trying their hand at fried chicken, and eateries with a Southern theme are popping up in each of the city's boroughs. Based in the Big Apple, Bon Appetit Magazine called the South "America's New Food Capital" in its February issue. 

Southerners have long known we have a special cuisine and some downright good food down here, but Southern food used to be limited to home kitchens, with mothers and grandmothers serving as the keepers of family recipes. Now that the rest of America is discovering the cuisine, chefs are stepping up to the plate to show that Southern food can be modern and healthy. ]]></description>

		<title>Tasting the New Girl Scout Cookie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Each spring, as the camellias start to bloom and the days get a little bit longer, Girl Scouts begin setting up tables in front of local businesses. If you have a Scout for a neighbor, you might get a knock on the door, but otherwise you'll need to drive around town to get your annual cookie fix.

Introduced in honor of the Girl Scouts 100th anniversary this year, Savannah Smiles are bite-sized, lemon-flavored and dusted in powdered sugar. ]]></description>

		<title>In Love With Gatlinburg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Selected as one of America’s most romantic getaway destinations recently, the resort town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, resides in the splendor of the Smoky Mountains. A gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg is a popular tourist spot in the summer, but this February, the city is calling all couples for a romantic retreat.

In its list of the Top 10 Romantic Getaways in the United States, Guidebook America suggests a mountain cabin for "wooded seclusion, small-town charm and breathtaking mountain views" as Valentine's Day approaches.]]></description>

		<title>Mardi Gras Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At Food Blog South in Birmingham last month, I stopped by the Zatarain's booth to say "hey" from Louisiana. I asked the girl who was manning the booth what the New Orleans food company had planned for Mardi Gras. She told me they had created a radio station on Pandora especially for Mardi Gras this year. ]]></description>
