Samedi Gras
Posted by Patrick on 1 Mar 2009
This year I had some plans for Mardi Gras and they got all-out borked at the very, very last second. I was most miffed, in fact – I made a point of stating how miffed I was during my annual performance review (which was not reason for the change in plans).
Anyway, I overcame by some miracle and decided to give it a go on Saturday instead. Reaching back into the databanks where I stuffed 4 years of high school French to make way for subsequent years of Japanese, I arrived at Samedi Gras. I could probably swing Toujours Gras with enough motivation and an appetite for going sloth.
So, I stumbled down to the best local cajun eatery and helped myself to a heaping plate of blackened catfish with some jambalaya. There was even some drinking – Dixie beer, no less – and it was all a great time swinging the karma wheel back to center.
Did anyone else have to put off their Mardi Gras plans? What did you do?
