Oh wait. That's not how that is supposed to go. Happy Mardi Gras! *hee hee* We won a party sponsored by Zatarain's from www.houseparty.com and so we threw party #2 in as many days. Phew! I'm exhausted. In the kit that was sent to me was 5 feather masks, beads, doubloons, Jambalaya mix, Red beans and rice mix, Creole mustard, Creole seasoning and root beer extract along with a few coupons. The agreement was that you would make at least one thing with each ingredient. Seriously... ROOT BEER EXTRACT.
So we made sausage and chicken jambalaya, red beans and rice, shrimp gumbo, and I used the Creole seasoning to make Creole shrimp with French baguette. So that left the Creole mustard and root beer extract. For the Creole mustard, I made a veggie dip. It was spicy, but the sour cream tamed it down. And for the root beer extract, I made root beer and then served root beer floats. We also had king cakes (one cinnamon and one chocolate) and Hurricanes.
So everyone must have thought the food was decent because they asked if they could take some home to their spouses. It worked out well. We had tons of leftovers so I am sure to be eating Cajun for at least 1 more meal in the very near future.
The kids loved the horns, hats, beads and eating icecream!
Looks fantastic! I'm glad it went well! Mostly I'm sorry that I don't live close enough to crash the party... er, I mean help. LOL
