Fat Tuesday!!

Last night we had to go out and celebrate Fat Tuesday officially at Lagniappe, our favorite creole restaurant in town. Kayo had to work till 7:30, and Joe patiently waited past his normal dinner time only snacking on an apple. Meantime, our local TV broadcasted the restaurant of our interest, packed, I mean packed!! and filled with food, drinks, more drinks, live music, Mardi Gras beads flying.....

Having walked into this madness, we were seated to share a booth with another couple. And the crazy thing was that Joe took a Russian class with the guy, Andy, in High School. They hadn't come across each other since. So while our long wait for our beer we had nice introductions of each others (we didn't get beer till after our food showed up!! and that's how long a waiting line was at the bar). Not to make you all hungry, but we feasted on: crawfish nachos, shrimp poboy, and mud pie for dessert. Yummmmm. And we all got enough dangly beads around the neck, with a 1/2 glass of water spilt in the middle of our table, and all that fun for drinking only one beer each! Madness!! We wished all of you had been there with us.
