WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Its backwoods Cajun feel sets it apart from other restaurants, and this place promises to offer a little something extra every time you come – it’s practically in the name.

Lagniappe (Lan-Yap) opened for the first time Tuesday to loves of down home Cajun cooking with recipes from the bayous of Louisiana. The restaurant’s name might be uncommon to those in Virginia, but it’s a familiar term in Louisiana that means a gift given to a customer at the time of purchase – think of it like when someone orders dozen doughnuts but they actually get 13.

I just packed for my flight home from Okinawa, Japan. I’ll be flying through Tokyo and because I have to switch from a Domestic Airport (Hanada) to an International Airport (Nareta), I’ll be spending the night there. As I make sure I haven’t forgotten anything, I am also thinking about the list of “to do’s” when I get home. At the top of that list will be to make some donations to a few of the worthy not for profits in our community (and a couple National and International Organizations). I’ve been luckier than most in life and like to share my modest success in life those who because of chance or circumstance weren’t quite so lucky.

I spend a lot of time thinking about my charitable giving. It’s a very personal decision. My choices reflect my beliefs and personal philosophy. I favor small groups lead by mostly volunteers because I recognize they are driven by a passion to help others. I also look carefully at the percentage of revenue a group devotes to programs versus overhead. Yes, I look at the IRS 990’s, and draw upon my personal experiences.
