Mardi Gras Light

I made Jambalaya last night for the first time (well, the first time that it wasn't from a mix). Gotta say I did a fine fine job. My kudos to the About.com Guide for Southern Cooking. Awesome stuff. This weekend we're going to try to make beignets.

I suppose it was my way of celebrating Mardi Gras since I'm not in New Orleans or Galveston or anywhere like that. But one of these days I will be.
