Morgan hosted his second (perhaps third?) Mardi Gras party last night, and the food gets better every year. And to take a bit of the burden off M, almost all the party guests brought delicious (homemade) treats as well. My contribution, not surprisingly however, was purchased:
Traditional Mardi Gras king cake was a fun contribution ... my kind of non-cooking fun. Plus it comes complete with a little medallion that gets hidden in the cake - once cut, whoever finds the medallion in their piece is the recipient of a year of good luck or something like that. (I would know more except I didn't find it, Bryan did.)
Beyond my no-make cake, M whipped up amazing shrimp and catfish po' boys, Diana pulled together lovely crab cakes, Carissa and Justin wowed with homemade gumbo, and Alex deep fried benginets on-site. I think the group favorite might have been the benginets, unexpected little bundles of fried, sugar coated dough amazingness. Enough said.
Thanks to this food fest, Mardi Gras is quickly climbing up my list of favorite holidays!
