Mardi Gras is next week. We are having a guest chef, but I'll still make something because she's heartless and takes no pity on the poor, the weak, the vegan and the gluten-free. A good possiblity would be the Crispy Cajun Chickpea Cakes seen above with some Creamy Cajun Rice on the side. Both are from Vegan Dad, who is probably a dreamboat...what with all that cooking he does. There is also some Creamy Creole Sauce waiting for something to top and a recipe for Smothered Cajun Squash, along with a locally grown squash...all waiting patiently.And then there's my dreamboat...
Mardi Gras makes one think of New Orleans (if one is American). Long ago and far away, Sebastien and I ran off to New Orleans and got hitched. I was a vegetarian at the time, and I clearly remember restaurant after restaurant with nothing for me to eat. Surely times have changed. But there are no travel plans to find out. I'm pretty happy here at home.

Those chickpea cakes are getting moved to the top of my list for next week. Heck, I haven't finished making stuff for the coming week, so maybe I wont wait that long.
And is that Sebastien's look for "you're really taking my picture again?" or has he been caught having one too many glasses of wine?
I think Vegan Dad's chickpea cakes are going to be famous!
I guess I missed this post when it arrived. I'm sorry I came across as heartless, I tried really hard to come up with dishes you could eat.
