I decided to have a themed party every month and collectively call them the "Farewell Parties" to countdown to the date that I move or don't move from Shepherdstown. Last month's party was a Mexican Fiesta, complete with Mexican-style rice, Tlalpeno soup, chimichangas, black bean cakes, and I forget what kind of drink Heather made. There was also plenty of Latin music, although most of it came from Puerto Rico and not Mexico.
This month's party was a Mardi Gras celebration with gumbo, jambalaya, apple cookies (we opted out of beignets), battered boardwalk wedges, hurricanes, and a king cake. There was plenty of dixieland, brass band, and zydeco music.
Here we have my king cake - I used a monkey instead of a baby because I couldn't find a baby; Heather's gumbo; my jambalaya
