I’m attending a community planning meeting this morning to help save programs at my child’s school. Then helping my parents move some stuff at the new house. Then? Then, Todd and I get to go to our friend Lucy’s Mardi Gras party. Lucy is a Mobile native and they have a party every year. This is our first chance to attend, so we are very excited. Anyone have a great Mardi Gras-themed appetizer or side dish recipe?
And in honor of Lucy’s Mobile Mardi Gras party, i thought I’d post a link to information on the Library of Congress’ American Folklife Center’s website about Mardi Gras in Mobile.
I could seriously spend two weeks straight going through all the awesome stuff digitized at The Library of Congress’ site.

Can’t wait to see y’all tonight. I’m trying to figure out what to bring as well.
You, too, Dawn. Will be fun!
I don’t have a mardis gras app suggestion per se but in the spirit of a King Cake you should go get one of those little plastic babies and hide it in a 7 layer bean dip. And then make a crown so that whoever get the baby is pronouced –not king/queen of Mardis Gras–but King/queen Frjole. Crown, should match the theme of a frijole dip.
Make a dirty rice – its really easy and totally yummy. Its just like fried rice but with sausage, ground beef ,pork, etc. And it’s cheapy cheap.
Dude, i know what dirty rice is, but they were already having Red Beans and Rice!
Nat, interesting idea. . . I did not get the baby. 🙁
