In 1955 the legendary movie star Joan Crawford married Pepsi-Cola board chairman Alfred N. Steele. In 1959 Miss Crawford was elected to the Pepsi board of directors two days after her husband's fatal heart attack and later became a publicity executive. She remained associated with the firm for the rest of her life and visited Baton Rouge many times during her worldwide travels. Joan always found time to dine at Flo Minga's and enjoyed unwinding at the bar in the festive Flo-Go Lounge with several vodka and Pepsi Colas. According to staffers, she especially liked Flo's pulled pork and usually ordered a fried peach pie for dessert. Miss Crawford died of a heart attack in her Manhattan home on May 10, 1977. An autographed picture of the star is included on the restaurant's Wall of Fame.

There is a wonderful discussion thread from the old "New Orleans.com Food Forum" that has been preserved in the Flo Minga Archives for all to see. Print it and use the great boiled water suggestions and recipes. Bon aqua!

Audio Post from the Marconi
Another neat feature of my Blogspot is being able to post audio messages from anywhere using the phone. This message was sent via my Verizon Marconi device. I can be driving down Airline Highway and Blogspotting at the same time!
