Silver Moon and Seabell Thomas

Those of you in Baton Rouge may have seen a TV story about Momma's Feed The Hungry Program in North Baton Rouge, feeding over 400 families for Christmas this year. The report said that Momma could not be there this year. You may remember that 'Momma' is Seabell Thomas, who ran and cooked huge meals of "Mississippi Cooking" at various iterations of the Silver Moon restaurant near LSU over the years. Unpoken in the story was that Momma was diagnosed with Stage 4 Uterine Cancer about 2 weeks ago, and is not doing well at all. By all appearances, she is on the way out and still in her house in North Baton Rouge. If you want to give something for Momma's care, a fund has been set up at Campus Federal Credit Union as the “Mama Seabell Cancer Benefit Account." Other benefits are being organized, but this one is up now.

Just left her house. She took care of us many days in past and she has had a glorious life.

Wish I’d seen this before leaving town, I’d have made the trip to see her. Ate many a lunch in her little apartment off the carport at her house. I remember remarking when she gave me a copy of her cookbook that none of the recipes mentioned lard, she said “sweetie, I cook with love, not lard”. And we both laughed, because her meals were wonderful, but wouldn’t qualify as heart healthy.
Wonderful, sweet lady. Will make sure I get my gang to contribute. Thanks for posting.

Losing silver moon cafe was losing the lore and character of LSU.
Wish that lady, her fam, and her community peace and love during her final days.
Lady is a saint.

She was always a very sweet lady. I used to eat at the Silver Moon quite often at LSU in the 90s.

She's such a kind and beautiful soul.
She always came around to the table to give us a hug or pinch the chubby among us on the cheek.
I lost my maw maw the summer before college started, she always reminded me of her.

Very sorry to learn of Momma's failing health. She was a favorite of BR business people, as well. The coat and tie crowd went for lunch, sat next to whoever was at the table and loved her home cooking, too.
Our prayers and good thoughts are with her and her family for good health and comfort.

Thanks for posting; glad she is rebounding and will be a pleasure to give back to her.
My wife and I had out rehearsal dinner at the Silver Moon by the tracks; all the out if town guests / family absolutely loved it.
I wish she had the smothered chicken recipie in her cook book; if anyone has the secret(s) please share.
