Mardi Gras 2011
For this year’s Spring cooking party Linda decided toMardi Gras party! Juan opened his home to probably 50 of his closest friends who proceeded to enjoy the food and company like there was no tomorrow. Of course, there was a tomorrow, so we continued the party! Some stayed overnight, but we ran home to enjoy our own bed, then ran back in the morning. I missed getting pics of lots of it, but here’s what I managed to capture. Each picture opens to the full sized bad-boy so you can drool on your keyboard if you so choose.
-
- We showed up to some live action in the garage.
-
- Theresa was cutting up Andoullie sausage for little deep fried delights.
-
- Golden brown and delicious!
-
- Then served up with two kinds of mustard.
-
- I missed pics of the crabcakes and the crawdad beignets but got these yummy bacon onion grits.
-
- Deviled eggs - which I love.
-
- Spicy Jambalaya (but didn't get pics of the Ratatouille)
-
- My own bourbon chocolate pecan pie.
-
- Bread pudding - loved this!
-
- Monkey bread, which had little single-serving size pieces so my darling husband kept calling it Monkey Ball Bread.
-
- Maybe the prettiest king cake I've ever seen.
-
- Oh yes, there was a bar. Bruce made hurricanes!
-
- The next morning we came back for more food. Beignets were being made.
-
- And they turned out beautifully!
-
- Maple rolls. Huge maple rolls.
-
- Biscuits, sausage and gravy. (Not to mention the eggs and link sausage I didn't get pics of.)
-
- And decadent breakfast wouldn't be complete without Mimosas!

- I'm Angela. I like food. I'm here to teach myself photography in a very public and potentially humourous way.
Receipe collation has commenced and hopefully my transposing didn’t create too many bugaboos…..always exciting when the recipe isn’t doing what you expect. I’ll forward add’l recipes (Madeleine, Susan, Bean on the hook).
AFN
I’d like to try that whole dinner again, all at once.
For those having difficulty with the size of the originals, I’ve sized them down and reduced the quality a bit so they should open easily now.
MMMMMM!!!!!! Boy you guys sure have all the fun!! sounds like a blast!
So my mind isn’t awake yet. Make that what Lauri and Hoop and Jason said. Where the #@%% is the erase button?
Ditto what Linda and Hoop and Jason said!!!
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy
I just had breakfast… but this all looks tasty!
Nice photos, Angela! Thanks for posting.
