Eating in NOLA:

So what do you know about Mardi Gras and Shrove Tuesday?

Well Wikipedia says that Shrove Tuesday is "widely associated with the eating of foods such as pancakes, and often known simply as Pancake Day, originally because these used up ingredients such as fat and eggs, the consumption of which was traditionally restricted during Lent."

So we made them. We cooked them like silver dollars...


And with blueberries that we threw in one by one from far distances...

And we topped them with whipped cream and butter and syrup and sprinkles in celebration of Mardi Gras. And we drank orange juice with them and the orange juice might have had some Malibu Rum in it... it's hard to say.

So after the infamous "Banana Day" we stayed away from bananas for a few days.


But we brought them back this morning in style. Banana pancakes! They were good and we had them with syrup and butter. We made them in this pan.
