Fat Tuesday Tradition


We don't celebrate Mardi Gras in full swing but we do make a point of traditionally having red beans & rice for dinner just as you have turkey on Thanksgiving.

That meal will always top the meal Drew & I ate with my parents for my 21st birthday. They came down to school and took us to St Louis for Mardi Gras. The parade was great, the drinks were great but I still remember my dad ordering me "crawdads" for dinner which ended up being the little things I used to catch as a kid at the harbor of the lake we now live near. ~ Love the memories but it still gives me the creeps thinking of that platter of crayfish!
