Mardi Gras

This weekend, I made gumbo. Because it's mardi gras, and also why not? I used this recipe, which I fully recommend and endorse, it turned out very well - even though I absolutely burned my roux the first go round, and had to start over.

There was also ice skating, brussels sprout pizza, and a trip to the vet for Mabel... weekends should be longer.

Weekend

Aren't you glad February is a short month? Let's get through these grey days. I put these bright tulips in my living room- something to remind me that, in fact, spring is coming.
