Super Bowl and Mardi Gras Bread Pudding

If you know what this symbolizes...you might be from Louisiana~

It is definitely Mardi Gras and crayfish season!

They kind of go hand in hand around here!

When I was younger, I loved Mardi Gras time, as I got older, not so much!

Now that I have grandchildren, I love it through their eyes!

And as far as crayfish...loved them my entire life...always will.

Throw me something mister...beads or crayfish...either is good!!!

Now THIS is a king cake...fit for a king!

Here is a link for our local Mardi Gras parades

Did you all enjoy the Super Bowl yesterday?

I certainly did. Like most folks from South Louisiana, I am NOT a fan of

the Falcons. Sorry (not sorry) they lost. No one in history has lost a Super Bowl

with such a huge lead...except the dirty birds. Oh well, better luck next time.

And Lady GaGa...awesome half time show. I was very surprised and impressed. Of course

the news media will make it to be something it wasn't. No surprise there.

I thought she did an amazing job and is super talented..

I hope you are having a great day and the rest of your week is awesome.

The weather sure is co-operating.

Get out and enjoy it!
