Thanks for the rice tips! I’ll let you know how it goes.

I have this undying desire to completely bling out a ladder. I’m sure none of my family would want to be near it, but it’d be fun to do…until Linus refused to get in it. She was all about sitting in a ladder until she realized it was much more fun to freak Mommy out by leaning backwards on Daddy’s shoulders.

I have NEVER seen a king cake in the shape of a crab! That is beyond cool!

I’m homesick, now.

So glad I found your blog! I too live in New Orleans, and am prepping for the Mardi Gras weekend (having already enjoyed last weekend)! Just thought I would pop in and say Hi!, nice to meet you, and Happy Mardi Gras Season! Let the good times roll!

Wow! This is the first time that I get to see a crab like cake. I wouldn’t have been able to resist buying it either if I happened to see one.

Your sense of anticipation is palatable. Can’t wait to hear some more stories and see more photos. All the best of fun for you, family, and friends.

I guess the Westbank is truly the Bestbank. Bite all you Eastbankers.

I know where you can buy some ladder seats. I was eyeing just the other day going down Jeff hwy. I fear my kids would fling themselves from the top. They are not known for sitting still.

Oooh. Jambalaya. I think it’s time for me to try this recipe again. The last time I made it was about 4 years ago and it took me HOURS. But it was to die for. Yum.
