I made crepes for breakfast with lemon and sugar.
Was hoping to make a king cake (I have before, once, and have two plastic babies saved up) but unlikely this year. Maybe a gumbo later in the week. This is the one day that I really miss being in south Louisiana, where I was born and raised. I made crabmeat fried rice yesterday, which I first encountered there.
Pancakes for breakfast. Usually dessert but, hey, tradition only goes so far.
By ordering from the special menu at the gay bar my band’s been playing Mardi Gras for several years now 
There’s oyster shooters, muffuletta, Cajun chicken and andouille sausage pot pie, BBQ shrimp po boys, Creole mac n cheese w/lobster and andouille sausage, and jumbo turtle cookies with vanilla ice cream and pecan praline sauce 
The Bayou’s gonna be crackin tonite, no bun intended
good times and great drink specials always
Sounds delicious. I’d go for the pot pie or the poboy.
Étouffée and store-bought pecan pie
My mom was from Louisiana; your list of food is making me desperately jealous!
