Eggplant creole with crab sauce for lunch today .Bethcha cant say Tchoupitoulas ave six times fast .
I'm happy to read everyone enjoyed the festival, even at a distance!
And Baron, that boudin poboy sounds fantastic. The wife, stepson and I had a triple chocolate king cake. Not exactly traditional, but it was delicious.
Tchoupitoulas: the linguistic bane of many tourists. I've heard the word mangled so many different ways, many of them hilarious. But it is a strangely spelled word, so I can understand why.
Well, all, Rex has met with Comus, the queens have bowed, and Bourbon Street has been cleared as of eight minutes ago. The festival is over, and thus the lenten season begins. Thanks for joining in the fun. Congrats to Russ O and Uncle Arthur on their two-way tie for position of Krewe d'Cavendish Grand Marshal.
Until next year...

Next Mardi Gras I should add a "'How to Blend in' Guide to Fat Tuesday" :lol:
excerpt from next year's guide
Tchoupitoulas: pronounced chop-ah-tool-ass
"I'm going to the grocery" = "I'm making groceries"
Eating Crawfish = Don't eat the straight ones
Zatarans Crab Boil = Crab "burl"
Bourbon Street = please refer to Frank Zappa's song, "Titties and Beer"
"Politicians in the city are corrupt" = "Edwin Edwards was a great folk hero"

I heard on the radio today that by Louisiana state law, the cops clear Bourbon Street at midnight
I wonder how many people go to jail just for the extra hour of partying they can get in.
And how I do wish I could have been there :
:
ever heard of Zigaboo Modeliste, cajunguy?
I've been to a bunch of his shows, I used to work with his nephew.
