Hi everybody,  Happy Mardi Gras! My family had its first crawfish boil of the season on Monday, they were awesome and very spicy!  On Tuesday, we visited Parrains. My servers name was Simone. She was great! I had some fried alligator for an appetizer and some oysters for the second time. I still like the taste of the sea. The alligator tastes a little like chicken. For my entree I had a black and bleu tuna. It was blackend tuna on top of bleu cheese linguine. It was moist and cooked well. We had a great time on Fat Tuesday, see pictures below.  My sister, Ellie is going to guest blog today about another place we visited on Tuesday, check out what she has to say below!

For those observing Lent don't forget my potato soup minus the bacon makes a great option for "no meat" Friday's.

Till next time,

Hi my name is Ellie.  I am seven years old and I am happy to blog today. On Tuesday we had beignets from Rue Beignet in Baton Rouge.  They were hot and made me think of being in New Orleans.  We had two different kinds, the regular shaped beignet and beignet fingers, which are really cool, especially for kids. Hope your able to visit them real soon, I know I will be back!

Bye,

Ellie
