Lundi gras!
Lundi gras is the day before Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday as they call it. It is always the day before Ash Wednesday. Parades abound in most of the cities in and around south Louisiana. I know Mobile, Alabama celebrates Mardi Gras as well. I don't go to parades, but I thought some of you might enjoy seeing some of the scenes from them. Here is a link that will show a lot of pictures from Mardi Gras Day in New Orleans, probably last year.

Here are a few of those pics. You can see lots more on the website above.

This baby looks like she has had ENOUGH. She is supposed to depict baby in the king cake. King cakes have a tiny plastic baby in them. Someone usually just decides to bring a king cake to work. When you cut the king cake, whomever, gets the piece with the baby in it, should bring the next king cake. They are usually brought in every Tuesday at the work place. Some are really good and moist and some are really awful!

We finally found a place called Port Allen Bakery that is just across the Mississippi River from downtown Baton Rouge that has really good King cakes. They have one called praline pecan with cream cheese. YUMMMMMM! The strawberry and cream cheese ones are really good too. I wouldn't advise them from anywhere else really.

Well, I had a pretty good weekend. I am going with a friend tomorrow to do some photography. We are going to Alligator Bayou and hopefully will get some pretty nice shots there. Have a great rest of today everybody and

HAPPY MARDI GRAS!!!!!!!!!

    HAPPY MARDI GRAS! I didn't realize king cake came in different flavors. I really must try it one of these days!
