The District Eats: Laizzes les bon temps rouler!

I don’t know if it’s the urge to bring everyone inside from the cold or sheer winter laziness that forces me to give up going out and have a ton of dinner parties this time of year. I’m a sucker for bring-your-own and family style, and particularly, dessert tables.

The total New Orleans-ophile I am, this year, I’m betting on beignets.

All you need to make this lil southern poof of delight is corn oil, sunflower oil, or another oil of your choice, a deep pot, and the ingredients listed in this simple recipe from the people at Nola Cuisine.

Of course, you can always but a premade mix and do the mixing and cooking yourself for a quick fix. Try the unbeatable gold box from New Orleans institution, Cafe du Monde.

    Do you think the best way to get the cheapest plane tickets is by calling the airline? Or, do you scan through hundreds of websites provided by search engines to find low airfare tickets? Maybe you hope to find cheap airfare in the local newspaper’s travel section.
    Finding cheap airline tickets can be one of the most frustrating experiences that most of us learn very quickly. Of course, most people eventually give up after spending hours scanning websites that offer virtually the same flight schedules and pricing. People purchase what they believe is the cheapest plane ticket, only to find their neighbor paid just a third of what they did!

    Unless you understand the concept of of how airlines set prices, all the searching in the world won’t provide the cheapest airline ticket prices. The following information will give you a guide to follow, as you wander through the maze searching for cheap airfare.

    Understand how prices are set by airlines! Air ticket pricing is complex and unpredictable, and driven by competition, demand, and inventory. Airlines call this “yield management.”

    Competition is the beast behind the cheapest plane tickets. All major airlines utilize central reservation systems (owned by various airlines) to fill available seats. The systems are known as Apollo, Sabre, WorldSpan and Galileo. Prices are based on demand, and if some flights are selling well, the price will increase. If the flight is unpopular and has very little demand, the fare is lowered in hope of attracting consumers. In short, fares and inventory change every minute of every day!

    Finding the cheapest plane tickets is difficult because travel agents and Internet websites use the central reservation systems that are updated periodically throughout the day. The reason why different searches come up with different results is because the systems are not updated at the same times. And, each system may use different algorithms when searching for low airfare tickets, which can provide a variety of ticket prices .
