My follow up to the last uber dramatic post will come later. Right now, there are more important things to discuss. Like my Fat Tuesday celebration…

Fat Tuesday is one of my favorite holidays. Does it qualify as a holiday? If not, one of my favorite events. Right up there with St. Patty’s Day and Halloween. I think it’s because I love zydeco more than the normal person, and this is the only day I know of, outside of New Orleans, where everyone gathers to love it as well. Samesies! Also, I just look really good in purple and green.

We normally go to Mardi Gras Grill for the celebration, which never disappoints, but this year we did something different (gasp) and headed to BB’s in the Heights. Note to self for next year: get a table reserved. But they have TONS of outdoor patio space and February in Texas is perfect outdoor weather. A crawfish boilin’ truck, Abita Purple Haze, and live zydeco. Bliss…

up close, this is gross
