Mr. B’s Orange Julius Cocktail

Recently, my wife and I had dinner at Mr. B’s in New Orleans. Of course, if you ever ate at Mr. B’s you know everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! That said, I tried one of their signature drinks, Mr. B’s Orange Julius, and I was astonish how good it was! If you like oranges and milk shakes, you will fall in love with this cocktail. Enclosed is the recipe of Mr. B’s Orange Julius directly from Mr. B’s website in case you want to give it a try if you cannot visit New Orleans soon…

Rare One’s Swag

If you ever wondered if the Rare One’s of New Orleans have any swag, they do – Hats, Coffee Mugs and Embroidered Shirts. There’s only one catch, you can’t order it, you can’t buy it, and you can’t even bribe Big John, although he will disagree! But to earn Rare One Swag, you just need to visit New Orleans and make an eyeball QSO with only one of the Rare Ones! Pretty Simple, no Lotw, no QRZ, and no eQSL, just one eyeball to another, preferably across the table at one of our fine dining establishments. Put us on your bucket list or favorite Vay-Kay Destination (Vacation for all you Ole Timers).

P.S. They young lady in the picture does not come with the hat.

Fortunately, all the Rare Ones’ in New Orleans were unaffected. Our prayers go out to the families affected by this terrible tragedy. Below are pictures provided by Cajun Mike K7KJN. Also, Mike created a map which shows all the Rare Ones’ QTH relative to the tornado path. Great work Mike!
