Because it's (Fat) Tuesday: Mardi Gras Edition

Happy Mardi Gras!!!! For this displaced Cajun, Mardi Gras is a difficult day to sit still in Texas. Everything good about my home is celebrated today- the foods, the music, the colors, the people, the fun- in one massive street party that basically shuts down the state of Louisiana. Because I'm stuck in the lovely state of Texas I decided to bring you a bit of home, albeit without the beignets, through it's music.

Today would not be complete without the Mardi Gras Mambo for me.

But this is more the music of my people. Writing this at my kitchen island I'm jitterbugging all by myself.

If I find some time today I'll post some Mardi Gras history and fun links, so be sure to check back. Until then, laissez les bon temps rouler.
