Do we? Maybe because we started Mardi Gras? :yelwink2::yelwink2::grin::thumb: We have parades every day/night throughout the season. Anyways, parades get rolling here at 10:30. Happy Mardi Gras!
Oh geez... don't start claiming you invented it again. I'll beat you over the head with my Bourbon Street sign.
I hope that was a joke....Mari Gras started in Bama?? :hihi: :thumb: http://www.history.com/minisites/mardigras/viewPage?pageId=739
I live on the Ms Gulf Coast and we have a pretty big Mardi Gras. I enjoy listening to the Louisianians and the Mobilites argue over where Mardi Gras started. I find it very hard to believe that it started in Mobile...but they are VERY adamant about it. They also call Fat Tuesday "Joe Cain Day" which is stupid. I will give Mobile credit though.....they do Mardi Gras pretty damn big. I work in Mobile and they have parades every single day and night for 2 weeks downtown leading up to "Joe Cain Day".
They sell king cakes in stores here, but the 'baby'confuses alot of people. Otherwise, no one knows it's Fat Tuesday.
when i make king cakes for hubby to take to work, he makes me leave the baby out of them so some idiot won't chomp down on it and get mad at him. tell people happy mardi gras here, and you'll get a "happy what?"
Just got finished with my office Mardi Gras party and they loved it!!! The cake was great and everybody really had a lot of fun with the beads. I also made them some red beans and rice for lunch so they could get the true meaning of being a cajun!!!
