Mardi Gras

So we can't really have a Mardi Gras party this year, cause D is still kinda broken, so instead we are having a small (well, smaller) scale dinner-and-drinks thing.  We are calling it the Krewe of Legba Founder's Dinner, Shrimp Boil, and Hammertime Shit Show.  I wish you both were here.

The menu this evening:

Carolina Calico Bay Scallops Raw on Nabisco Club Crackers with Sel Gris

Mock Turtle Soup

Shrimp and Andouille Boil (featuring Slap Ya Mama devil dust)

Chanda's Meat Pie (which we have formally re-named the Myocardial Infarction Pop Tart)

And my signature cocktail, the Cooter Brown (It's Rebel Yell Bourbon and Steen's Cane Syrup on the rocks with club soda).

And, I have an idea that homemade kahlua will be thrown down sooner or later.....


You give that Mardi-Gras hater Rachel a big hug and tell her I said she's a grouch, and if she was here, she'd be having a blast.  Tu es pas tu-ay WOOOO!


PS Bonus points if you can tell me what the meat is in Mock Turtle Soup, and what that has to do with Alice in Wonderland...
