Oil Spill & How will it affect Lola?

Hear I go and again another attempt at my blog.

Off the subject of Lola for a few......I can't help but think about all of the wildlife the oil spill is affecting!! I wish that there was something that I could personally do? I wonder if there are any volunteers out there who need more help?

On a different note how will all of this affect not just Lola, but other restaurants?? Will we only be able to get imported crab and fish now? I know oysters will be out of the question. I am happy that we (Lola) doesn't depend on seafood like Acme or other seafood restaurants, but it still hurts. Our dinner menu has plenty of seafood options on it and we make three soups everyday. We always have a seafood based soup. Can you imagine if this happened during Lent ahhh.

We just dredged threw the high prices of crab & crawfish. We waited patiently for them to go down and now that they have (some what) they are about to sky rocket again! I guess there is no winning in this one at all. I keep asking my husband if the seafood companies have made any formal announcements yet......no... they don't even know how this is going to work.

Well all I can say is Lola will still be putting out our wonderful food each and everyday. I know we will have our share of customers that will continue to ask when will we get local crab again. For now we wait and see I guess at this point that's the only thing to do.

Have a great weekend and I will blog you later!

Yummy Chocolate Pie!!!

If you are looking for a great recipe for easy chocolate pudding pie check out this months Better Homes & Gardens magazine! I made it for Lola Friday night and it was a hit. I have tons of recipes that I love, but I never had a good chocolate pie recipe. If anyone out there has a recipe for chocolate pie and would like to share send it my way. The recipe called for a store bought pie crust, but I made my own. If you ever need a good recipe for a crust use the recipe on the Crisco can. I hope you have a great week. Blog you later!

We are about to change things up!! Lola's dinner menu is going to be making some changes for the spring/summer. Out with the old and in with the new!!
