Mardi Gras Mambo...

"Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo, Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo, MArdi Gras mamboooooo, down in New Orleans."

Today we treated teh folks at our church to a taste of MArdi Gras. Since I couldn't find king cakes here in Colorado, I made homemade king cakes, which I must say were quite tasty. We even included a little plastic baby in each cake...although one person didn't admit to getting it!

I also made a huge pot of jambalaya, which was absolutely scarfed down. That's what happens when people are introduced to "real food" ! ! ! These Colorado folks have never eaten so good, I'll bet!

Yes, New ORleans does truly know how to cook and eat. That's the only thing (besides seeing my family of course) that I really miss about living in New Orleans...the food! You just can't get food like that here. And trust me, I've been looking.

(If you know about a great place to eat in Colorado, let me know so we can check it out.)

In the meantime, I'll just keep cookin' my shrimp scampi and my jambalaya and eatin' my muffalettas. Yum yum yum.

Short and sweet today. Got food on teh brain.

But not without your question of the day:

When's the last time you tried a new food? Why not get adventurous and check out something new and delight you palate tonight?
