Today is Mardi Gras!!! Hurray! (Mardi Gras has been a part of New Orleans life since the 1730s–amazing). I am actually on deadline (due end of week–ugh), and it’s a cold, rainy, dreary day here so I don’t have much choice to stay in and write. But in my dreams I will be…
Eating king cake…
Drinking hurricanes…
Cocktails recipes for Mardi Gras (I do love a good Sazerac!)
Wearing fab ballgowns…
And dancing the night away…for tomorrow it’s Lent!
Some detox smoothies for Wednesday…
What will you be doing this Mardi Gras???
Took my husband to water therapy class today, tonight, I’ll be schlepping kids to violin lessons. Glamorous, my life is not! Maybe I will drink a Hurricane in my dreams, too.
I spent the day baking and decorating king cakes at the bakery and making sure my Mardi Gras table had lots of treats on it for our customers. Tonight I am trying to write and then maybe relax a bit because I have bunches of Valentine cupcakes to decorate. My life is almost as glamorous as Elena’s. SIGH
I’m chasing a deadline, too, Amanda. No celebrating for me.
Last night I thought about making pancakes but didn’t and now I wish I had. Yum. We even have maple syrup in the house. And walnuts. And butter. Another time …
