We're not Catholic or anything (Mormons, if you must know), but we celebrated Mardi Gras yesterday. This is mostly because Sam served his mission in Louisiana, and that's the land of Mardi Gras. So I figured it was a great excuse to have New Orleans food and celebrate in our very tame, Mormon way.
I made seafood gumbo. It was hard to pick a recipe because there are so many different types of gumbo out there, but one can always trust
Martha Stewart.
Notice the "Bon Appetite" sign. And you thought I didn't like French.
OK so the masks make us look kind of creepy. OK, so they make Sam look kind of creepy.
We were also going to have bananas foster, but it got late and we were tired. So we'll make them tomorrow.
