AAAAieeeee, I made a big pot of seafood gumbo for the gang at the ski house this weekend. Beads, tiaras and crowns. Life is good. It would have been nice to have an island view from the hot tub, but 12" of fresh powder was good too.

Cheers, Rick

To you too. This is definately one of my favorite days of the year and New Orleans is one of my favorite places in the world. Making filet mignon stuffed with crawfish for dinner.

Happy Mardi Gras! I've got the fixings for Hurricanes, and I just heard my husband drive up to the house. Now we'll get the music going and start peeling shrimp. High holiday in this house, lol.

Just finished some red beans and rice with a cold Abita! Now we're about to finish off a couple of king cakes that I made today!

Had some parades up on Nola.com. Better than nothing!
