We spent "Mardi Gras" with some good friends from Zev's school. Mardi Gras in the South is a week long party typically centered around Cajun food and green, purple and gold decorations, and hurricane drinks! Lots of fun! Mardi Gras in New Orleans culminates with Fat Tuesday which marks the day before the beginning of Lent. We are all wearing the traditional beads which are usually distributed to Carnivale goers in New Orleans! We had a lot of fun needless to say, and Zev made some delicious Jambalaya!!!
