Mardi Gras Madness

I love Mardi Gras! The official day is tomorrow, Fat Tuesday. We have been celebrating for the past 2 weeks. Parades, parties and FOOD! If you have never been to New Orleans to experience "real" Mardi Gras, you must go! It's an experience you won't soon forget! We had a party at our house the other night. The main event...my husband's jambalaya - which is impossible to duplicate. It's unique and a true Louisiana dish. There were other good eats as well!

King cake is so good! My favorite is classic cinnamon - if you're into fillings they have everything from strawberry to chocolate.

Ash Wednesday is the day after Mardi Gras, starting the season of Lent. Catholics can't eat meat on Wednesdays or Fridays until Easter, so I'm getting ready to be cooking a lot with seafood for my husband. Crawfish season is here! So stay tuned for posts on seafood! Happy Mardi Gras!!!
