Thanks alot Dr. Phil. There are 19 more days until Mardi Gras and you are already dressed up reminding me that I have to start prepping for the massive amount of cooking necessary for making Cali feel like New Orleans.

Cafe Dumond beignet mix- check. Red beans and rice fixins- on the list. Pralines ingredients- check. King cake ingredients- on the list. Rememberin' to check the Parade Cam- written on a sticky placed on my monitor. Kermit Ruffins CD- in the home stereo.

Just a reminder, Krew du Vieux rolls Saturday at 18:30.

What are you talking about?

Dr. Phil was doing me a favor. We agreed that dressing up early for Mardi Gras might confuse Mother Nature to end winter early. Or we could get the predicted 8 inches of snow tonight.

Good try, Dr. Phil.

If you made any of that food too early because of Dr. Phil, I know some people who can come by and take it off your hands.

Ohhhh, that's just mean. I am NEVER watching Dr. Phil again. (Doesn't he have a show on TV or somethin'? )

Just in time for Dr. Phil's change- the first batch of pralines is cooling.

Morpheus rolls tonight.

Red beans and rice fixins- on the list.

Thank goodness I didn't see the word "mix" next to red beans and rice.
Boxed red beans and rice would definitely get you on the naughty list!

Jpapa,

Come on down and we'll boil some crawfish.

I do mix my own seasoining blend. I must confess that I use my buddy's hand made hot links because I have trouble getting real andouille out here in avocadoland.

There is an evil aisle at the store that has "red beans and rice" mix, canned "roux" and packaged "polenta." I wince everytime I walk by the shelves overflowing with apostates.

It truly is the end of days...

I have to say I used to always make my roux, but once I was in a hurry and bought a jar of Savoie's.... There's no going back once you cross over to the dark side. It's too easy and it doesn't make the whole house smell like roux.
