Mardi Gras party
Mardi Gras party
It was 3 days before the big party in New Orleans for Fat Tuesday (always 46 days before Easter), and yesterday my wife gave a party for friends and relatives. Turned out great. Eighteen of 20 invitees came, and she and I had prepared chicken and sausage gumbo, shrimp etouffee, and Cajun chicken pasta. Another couple brought red beans and rice. We ordered two King Cakes from the local bakery for the occasion. A good time was had by all. We made a large vat of Hurricanes (origin - New Orleans). We had wine, and I had prepared a large cooler filled with beer and etc., but everyone pretty much concentrated on the Hurricane.

Re: Mardi Gras party
I went to a Mardi Gras parade once. Had a Pat O’Briens hurricane. Great price actually. Parade started late and wife asked me to go get refills. Because it was a longer walk I decided to go to a bar much closer. Bad call. Tasted nothing like the Pat O’s. There are reasons why places are known for a certain product. Just like no one goes to the place across the plaza from Cafe Dumond for beignets

Crawfish are my favorites for sure. As a matter of fact she and I agreed this afternoon that I should make a crawfish etouffee in the near future. Makes me hungry thinking about it!
