Fat Tuesday!!!! Ash Wednesday!!!!
Time for Mardi Gras!!!!
As you can see....Jackson is geared up for the annual festivities. He's got his beads on and he's is looking for some good times. He loves playing with the beads. Heather and I have a shopping bag full of beads from our trips to NOLA and contributions from Dave, Keri, Lexi & newcomer Lily! He got really excited taking them out of a giant bowl and then putting them back into it. Hopefully we will be able to take a trip down next year to see some parades, catch some beads and EAT EAT EAT!
Below you can see a picture of the GUMBO Heather made last week along with the famous Edna's rum cake. Of course I added my touch to the feast by bringing in some Abita Turbodog beer, brewed in New Orleans. I can't cook too well but I helped stir the roux. Thank you Aunt Bec and Mae Mae for helping us with our first go round. In case you were wondering HEATHER NAILED IT. Not that I ever doubted her, but it's a HUGE deal that she can make gumbo.
Love to you all. In case you want a taste of New Orleans, go get some Rebirth Brass Band songs on iTunes. Nothing better to get you in the spirit then Rebirth.
