We had as good of a Fat Tuesday in the area as we could, which wasn't much. Should have stayed along the Florida to Mississippi coast. Would have been warmer, anyway.
Monday night, I listened to Tom Marker's annual Lundi Gras show on his Bluesbreakers show on WXRT from 8 to 10. As usual, he played some good stuff with a variety of New Orleans/Louisiana music from zydeco, Cajun, blues, jazz, second-line and carnival.
Tuesday, I listened to Mardi Gras tapes that I had made over the years in the morning.
We gathered up the "throwed" beads (meaning those we had caught) we had caught at the Panama City parade and took them with us to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, which was featuring shrimp 'po boy sandwiches, various shrimp dinners and jamboulie. We had to wonder what jamboulie was. Was it some sort of Cajun/French dish we weren't aware of.
After some discussion, it was determined that it was jambalaya, old Hank would be glad we figured it out.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
