Mardi Gras in KZ











Yes, we celebrated Mardi Gras all the way over here in Kazakhstan. People will do anything for a party. It is amazing how much work all the spouses do to make an evening fun for everyone. People brought in decorations and lots of food. We had ingredients brought in people's luggage for this event. It may sound weird to you to put meat in your suitcase, but when you can't get it you do what you have to.

We had gumbo, chicken fettuccini, crawfish fettuccini, red beans and rice, and jambalaya. UMMM UMMM!!! The food was excellent considering you can't get it here. We even had king cake and pralines for desert. I was full after two heaping plates, but somehow managed to squeeze in king cake and a few pralines. We had a fun night eating, dancing, and talking with our fellow neighbors.

Laissez les bons temps rouler
