Damn! Those drinks look fine.

The vegetarian jambalaya is probably going to be a disappointment, though.

Happy Mardi Gras, Soco!

Thanks SR. Did you do your own veg jambalaya instead?

You know, I've never done a veggie jambalaya, but since you mention it, I think I will. I'll try to remember to let you know how it turns out, and even take a picture.

I do make a mean Hoppin' John.
