I ventured over to Alabama this past weekend and celebrated Mardi Gras early. My brother-in-law is expected to deploy to the Middle East in a few weeks, so of course we had to have a party!
Pots of red beans and rice, shrimp creole, and of course our standard lumpia were devoured quickly and drinks continued to flow well into the morning.
Mardi Gras comes a little late this year, but perhaps that's a good thing because it just extends the party season!
