I didn’t realize Mardi Gras start so early. I thought my cousin was saying some time towards the end of January. I guess she was wrong! I was hoping to make it down there for Mardi Gras this year, but due to everyone’s (different) schedules, we couldn’t find a date suitable for all of us. Perhaps 2011 then. You folks do know how to enjoy good foods and a good party! I love N.O.!

I love the tradition of Mardi Gras, and not just the crazy party aspect. There’s such an amazing history and almost mythological sense to everything, whether it’s in activities or the food prepared.

Oh this sounds like fun. I’d heard about the Mardi Gras before, but really didn’t know much about it. Sounds like it’s worth a visit at least once in my life

I have never been to N.O., but I have some friends from the area and they brought my attention to the king cake. I was fascinated about baking a plastic baby Jesus in dough. The though of accidentally eating/biting/maiming or swallowing Jesus might be construed as somewhat sacrilegious. Since my initial discussion about King Cake, I have become quite smitten with the phrase “sweet baby jesus”! I have an inkling to make a King Cake this year, unless my lovely friend Jeri Ann sends another one to Bulgaria from Haydel’s! Happy Mardi Gras!!!!

Very interesting history. I had no idea that Mardi Gras was aligned with Epiphany and Lent, wonderful time to celebrate. Wish I could order one of those King Cakes, they sound fabulous.
