Well, not really.
Actually, it was a pretty dull Mardi Gras for Miss Piper J. I did cook a lot. Fat Tuesday, hello?! Although, what I made was actually somewhat healthy. What to take a look?
{Mmm, yellow chicken.}
In my desperate attempt at healthier eating habits, I made this chicken salad w/curry & other yummy things to eat for lunches throughout the week. {Oh, wait...since I'm currently eating a bag of pretzels & drinking a Propel at school does that mean I failed? Whoops.}
{Fish & Beans! Ahh, you can see the bite I took out of that tortilla!}
It wouldn't be Mardi Grizzle without some Louisiana-style chow...my attempt? Fish tacos w/pink mayonnaise & red beans and rice.
It was good. And filling. And I made it all from scratch, holy cow!! The original plan included a King's Cake & Hurricanes. The grocery store was sold out on the former & I didn't know how to make the latter. Red wine & dark chocolate worked out fine in their place, ha!
Now I must go to my Rat-lab...I hope that you all have a fun Mardi Gras & are enjoying a lovely Ash Wednesday {if that's your forte}.

I love the idea of pink mayo...or my case, pink Nayo. Laissez le bon temps rouler!
I never thought I'd like fish tacos, but those look really good!
It looks delicious!!!!
Mmm Mardi Gras. There is exactly ONE cajun restaurant within a 50 mile radius of my house, and it was jumpin' last night. Couldn't get in. No Mardi Gras for me. Your food looks yummy!!
Gosh, do you make awesome-looking meals Miss Piper! I am so sad about your World Market light. :-(
I fully support the red wine and dark chocolate substitutes. More of that on Saturday! BTW, I love your food photos -- I think this is yet another of your talents.
This stuff looks sooooo good! Do you know I have never made my own chicken salad? I find this crazy, as I LOVE chicken salad. I think I shall try this weekend! :)
You must share your fish taco recipe...they look delicious!
