Mardi Gras 101 ... 48 hrs later

 

Oh Hello!

Just to let you know...I survived our Cajun Mardi Gras!!!

It's 48 hours later, and I'm late. I know. But now I'm feeling a little human again, at least enough to sit here with my head up and type this post. I'm late for work...again. But what's new?

Here's the low down...

I describe our Fat Tuesday festivities in our little town of Eunice, Louisiana as the Cajun Mardi Gras. It's the "rural version" of the majestic Mardi Gras as what one would think of in New Orleans.

We lack the "Hollywood" aspect of it. However, we do not lack the tradition of Fat Tuesday aka Mardi Gras.

So I'm going to make this recipe quick and you can read in between the lines of this Mardi Gras Jambalaya in Cajun Country...

Combine the following Ingredients:

Friends

Food

{good ole chicken & sausage gumbo}

 

Drinks

 

Cajun Tradition

{yes, that is a chicken on his head}

 

Parades

 

Beads, Beads and More Beads

 

And Fun Fun Fun

Stir it up...

and you have Mardi Gras in Cajun Country!!!!

If you'd like to read more about Louisiana's History of the Cajun Mardi Gras in my small town of Eunice (& the surrounding rural areas), you can click on my link here. It's what I wrote about last year, which sums everything up...including the {chicken} details you are wondering about ;)

I'll be back tomorrow with a cool little storage tip for you. As I was "cleaning" out my studio last week, I thought I'd share a neat storage solution for those of you who are obsessed with clear stamps as much as I am.

Stay tuned...my headache is getting much MUCH better, thank you ;)
