Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday

February 28, 2006

It’s “Show us your boobs!” Day, or as some people call it, Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. As usual, Cindy and I will be making some Everything Jambalaya, which is just so damn yummy. And don’t forget about the BourboCam. It’s just occurred to me that this is the last day of February and I [...]

Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday

February 8, 2005

It’s that time of year again, Mardi Gras (which is French for “Show us your boobs!“), when Cindy and I long for New Orleans. It’s not that we have a desire to be in New Orleans for the Mardi Gras festivities, beause we don’t. It’s too crowded for us right now. But, obviously, today reminds [...]
