Mardi Gras fun!

In honor of Mardi Gras, we had a fun filled evening of New Orleans style food and fun! I made not-so-dirty "dirty rice" (I omitted any animal organ meats... yuck!), and beignets for dessert (a really delightful deep fried sweet bread dough... heavenly). We watched "The Princess and the Frog" while we ate. It was really fun... a tradition that I am really enjoying!
