All Set for Lent

Gil surprised Marin with a Mardi Gras party on Tuesday night. He brought home a big bag of Louisiana barbeque (or as close as you can find in New York City), beads, and a cd of New Orleans jazz. It totally livened up an otherwise uneventful day.

Charlie was cool with being stripped down for eating the messy food, but he was not a fan of the Mardi Gras beads. Another photo opp bites the dust. In the upper right corner of the photo, you can see the tiny plastic baby. Supposedly this baby is baked into a cake and whoever finds it wins something. We didn't have a cake so it was pretty easy to find. It has been consumed by the vacuum cleaner since then.

The menu: Pork ribs, pulled pork, mac and cheese, collard greens, and corn bread. Gil went a little off-theme to get cookies from Magnolia Bakery for dessert.

Jeremy would be all over this! He'd fly home for good pulled pork.

Good job Gil! What a way to make your wife smile. Feel free to give Joey some hints on what to bring home to his lovely wife!

That is fun! No Bradshaw boy is going to be into beads though. He is true to our heritage. I can't wait to see what you have planned for St Patties day!
