Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! When I was a child in New Orleans, this was my favourite day of the year -- lots of parades and, best of all, NO school!!!

"Laissez les bon temps rouler!"

now that's a proper celebration. Forget all this eating turkey crap - let's party!

How wonderful to have grown up with that Kezza. I was born in Louisiana but we moved away when I was little. I've been to New Orleans and it's my kind of place. I hope to get back there.

THe parties are great fun and there is alot of tradition, but it doesn't mean quite as much when you are not going to give anything up for lent!! ;)
