Happy Mardi Gras!
Today is Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday.
Since I’m visiting in Anderson/Belton, South Carolina, I needed to find some place here that celebrate Mardi Gras.
It wouldn’t be Mardi Gras if I didn’t at least have 1 or 4 Paczki. Pronounced PUNCH-key, they are Polish jelly-filled doughnuts.
Or maybe I can find a King Cake.
…also known as Twelfth Night Cake. This cake is actually a sweetened yeast bread, usually baked in a ring shape. The cake is frosted with gold, green, and purple icing representing in order, power, faith, and justice.
And if I could find a place that had some étouffée, gumbo, collards, crawfish, and other Cajun and Creole favorites, I would be in heaven.
If I can’t find any if this here. I will still have a good time.
And as they say in New Orleans, Laissez les bon temps rouler, or Let the good times roll!
