like a louisiana that sticks to the ribs

although we had just got back from mardi gras in louisiana late sunday night, had one day off it was a good fat tuesday here in austin.  we were a bit run down but not one to back away from a good party.

I had my first sazerac ever, but switched to the trusty french75.

it was more of a birthday party with a fat tuesday theme

gumbo and jambalaya

the gumbo and jambalaya from cypress grill were fantastic!  as authentic as it gets. 

fat tuesday night party

I think that was one of the best fat tuesday, or any tuesday night parties I've ever been to.

we also got some stuff done around the house this weekend.  the roofers finished and we got the queen palms in the ground.

the first hole was easy.  the second hole was not.  the ground around here is mostly rock.  my pick axe is down at our wimberley off-grid project house.  we spent two hours with the hammer-drill and masonry bits and some sledge hammering and finally got the hole deep and wide enough.
