A Southern Celebration

So one of the things we do in PIM (partners in medicine) is Gourmet club. Nate and I decided to host the southern themed one. We really wanted to have a craw fish boil, but it was a little too pricey for fresh mud bugs and frozen just wouldn't cut it so we ordered a king cake from my favorite place in New Orleans (Manny Randazzo's.)
I'm still not sure what happened to the baby??? No one is fessing up to getting it???
I also made some Cafe Du Monde Beignets, and some Raspberry mint Lemonade.
We had the beads, the crowns and just a plain ole good time.
Everyone brought something southern to share and it was all so delicious.
We'd planned to have it outside at our neighborhood park but it POURED and we moved it inside.
All in all, we had rootin tootin good time. Thanks Y'all

Way to go bringing some NOLA with you wherever you go! Something we will always do, for sure! We had a Mardi Gras party in Idaho in February and tried to arrange to have some crawfish shipped, but yeah, a little pricey! That's the only drawback. You can arrange for the rest of the stuff, but the crawfish is pretty tough. Looks like a fun party, though! You can't go wrong with a king cake from Randazzo's.
