Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras season is almost over. I don't have any big love affair with the season but I do like king cakes & I've determined that my most favorite thing about Mardi Gras is all of the king cake flavored things. I've mentioned the king cake cake balls from Brou-ha-ha. They are really better than any king cake I've ever had. Then there's the king cake cheesecake from Cheesecake Bistro. I think it may be my favorite king cake concoction. The other night Dean & I went to Fat Cow. I had a Groupon that was going to expire. They have good burgers but I saw they had a wedge salad & I do love a good wedge. I decided to have that & add some grilled chicken.

It was delicious!!!! When we ordered I saw a large sign that said King Cake Shakes are here. HUH????? Have I mentioned how much I love a good shake? Haven't had one in forever because I made the mistake of looking up calorie content on a Chic-fil-a chocolate shake. Fat Cow doesn't have one of those shake machines like the fast food joints. They actually mix them by hand & use real ingredients. Hmmmm. Once I was almost through with my salad I told Dean "I'm going to need one of those shakes". It was soooooo freakin good.

Not a great pic but I took this in the truck because I wanted a picture before I ate it. Cute huh? I love sugar crystals. I've added this to my list of Mardi Gras things I must have every season.

Tomorrow night I'll be having king cake bread pudding. I saw on Facebook that Roberto's has it. Earlier in the week Dean texted me a picture of it. I thought for sure he'd gone for lunch & had gotten me a piece to go. I was wrong. A vendor brought a bunch to his office. Then I thought he was going to bring it home to me. I mean why would he send me a picture of it knowing I've been wanting to try it??? I was wrong. He was eating it because - and I quote - "It was still warm ". He did follow that up with we'll go soon so you can have a piece. So, soon is tomorrow night after the LSU game. My mouth is already watering!!

Toodles!
