@ kings i have been eating boiled crawfish an boiled pig feet almost everyday for bout a week now. Lol. Just trying to get it now cause once Jurnee comes, I won't be able to eat it cause of all tha spices.
Girl if I had a kiddo in the parade Id be going too! I've been in labor for two days and that's the only thing that would make me risk it. I lived in New Orleans for a while! (And in Morgan city as a kid) miss it a lot some times. Craved some broiled oysters from Boudreaux's FOREVER. ?
@ keykey yesss. Omg. Me An tha kids luv king cake. The hubbi isn't a big fan but we luv em. We have had quite a few since the season started??. I only eat tha traditional non filled ones, but my kids luv em either way, filled or traditional. It's an amazing place to live, or visit. I was born an raised here.

But i was born in raised in New Orleans, kinda hard for me to refuse? and my daughter's march in tha parade with their school band so I gotta support them. But they don't march today so I'm at home in bed watching Carnival on tv. I grew up parading.
@ Harrison OMG I promise u would luv it here. Tha festivities dont stop. We actually shut tha city down for 2 days to celebrate Mardi Gras. We take it serious here. Other states have parades, but they dont party for Mardi Gras like New Orleans. We luv to party. When u do come please go to Bourbon Street. An make sure u grab a hand grenade?and a slice of our delicious king cake. Heck just make sure u eat period. Lol?. Boiled seafood, gumbo, red beans, etouffe, an pecan pralines.
