Happy Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday/Paczki Day/Shrove Tuesday....Whatever Day!

I am celebrating this great day by sleeping in until the crack of 10:30am with Holden (who has ANOTHER snow day!).


NOW...because Mom is trying to be all green and more into recycling (thanks to STUBBY!)...we're going to re-use our Mardi Gras post from last year (because the pics make mom laugh!)

ENJOY!

Bonjour everyone!!!!

I, Salinger The Pug want to wish each of you a very happy happy Mardi Gras!

In honor of the big day, mom was nice enough to let me stick my head in an almost empty can of her favorite Cafe Du Monde coffee from N'awlins

"Mmmm....can we get some beignets over here????"


She let me play with her voodoo doll

"Heh heh heh....WHO'S gonna get it today???"


I won't even TELL you the degrading things I had to do for these beads...

"Oh no...if the crew from Pugs Gone Wild shows up, I'm in trouble!"


Mom also wants to pass along a BIG "HAPPY PACZKI DAY" to all of her friends and family from the Detroit area! For those of you up there....have a prune paczki for her...they're her favorite!!!!

YUMMY!

Mardi Gras in July.....in Indiana

WHOOOOOOHOOO! We had a Mini-Mardi Gras at our house last night! Be sure to check out our FREEZER BLOG today because it goes hand in hand with our entry here about BEIGNETS (pronounced Ben-YAYs)!

You may remember a few weeks ago when Heather and Harry sent us a special care package (CLICK HERE). Mom made red beans and rice for dinner and decided that it was time to bust out the beignet mix and get to work.

Here she is giving them their powdered sugar dusting after they were cooked......


TAH-DAH!!



Before they were ready for tasting...mom made some iced cafe au lait (JUST like they serve at Cafe Du Monde...home of the beignet!)



Ok...sample time.........

Daddy said he felt like he was sitting in the French Market in N'awlins and Holden just said "OMG!"


Then it was MY turn!

Are you KIDDING ME with these???? These are freakin' AMAZING!


The worst part about beignets (well aside from them being like a bajillion calories each) is that you get wicked "powdered sugar face".....as seen here......


...and here....


That's ok though....it's totally easy to just lick it off!

Happy Mardi Gras!!!!
