Mardi Gras? Sounds interesting. I've never heard of it before. Is this a tradition just in New Orleans?

hadmyshare February 17 2010, 00:06:46 UTC

F' th' most part...we N'Orleans folks are the ones who really celebrate it, though there are some folks outside o' town that do too. It's a festival for dressin' up in costumes, playin' music and eatin' lots o' good food.

dylandy_lion February 17 2010, 00:23:49 UTC

Those kinds of festivals are the best. Sounds a little like St. Patrick's Day back home. What's it celebrate?

Oh, sorry, forgot to introduce myself. I'm Neil Dylandy.

Well, historic'lly, it's th' day before Ash Wednesday, which sched'les fastin' for Lent...."Mardi Gras" means "Fat Tuesday", so it's the day y' eat a lot before y're supposed t' start fastin'. But not everyone celebrates Lent anymore, so most folks just celebrate Mardi Gras without fastin' th' next day. It's jus' a day t' celebrate life and th' good times.

Nice t' meet y'! I'm Tiana. I think I've seen y' in class before, so y're a sixth year too, righ'?

Happy Mardi Gras, Maddy! You made all of the cake and stuff at dinner, didn't you? It was so yummy~ I'm stuffed now! ♥

hadmyshare February 17 2010, 14:08:02 UTC

Yeah, I did...I'm glad y' liked it, Miwako.

berrysweetloli February 17 2010, 19:23:23 UTC

I always do~ ♥

Thanks for the dinner Tiana! It was delicious!

(ooc: Rosette is a total glutton. She probably ate half of it all by herself..lol)

hadmyshare February 17 2010, 14:10:42 UTC

Aw, thank y', Rosette! I would've done more, but th' house elves in th' kitchen don' like me cookin' a whole lot since it's their job. I guess it was only 'cause I told 'em 'bout Mardi Gras that they let me make 's much 's they did.

((Tee hee~, Tiana likes people with big appetites. ;D))

Those pastries were good, what were they?

hadmyshare February 17 2010, 14:13:20 UTC

They're called beignets...th' ones I made were honey beignets, but there are fruit beignets too.

dragonbymyside February 17 2010, 16:41:52 UTC

Beignets...can you give me the recipe?

[ooc: fellow cooks unite? XD]

hadmyshare February 17 2010, 19:40:14 UTC

Aw, sure! I'll copy the recipe for y'...my own copy's a bit worn and hard t' read.

Wow! You helped make all of that? It was delicious!

Heh, you're making me want to visit the states sometime... That kind of a celebration sounds right up my alley!

hadmyshare February 18 2010, 03:58:58 UTC

Haha, well, jus' th' stuff the house elves don't usu'lly make; don't know how well I would have done everythin' there by myself. I'd try, though.

Y' really should sometime! I really do think y'd like it. Mardi Gras happens durin' the school year, but N'Orleans loves parades, it practic'lly searches for an excuse t' have one.

((Strikes are thouuuughts. 'Cause Tiana rarely says she can't do something. XDD))
