Day 59 of 365. It's Mardi Gras! I have only been to New Orleans twice, but both trips certainly made an impression on me. The first time I went, sometime in the early 90s, I discovered the deliciousness that is etoufee. I remember my first bite, and how I almost melted it was so good. Back in Concord, I discovered this mix at Food Lion and gave it a try. It is *almost* as good as what I had in NOLA. Sadly, they don't sell it anymore so I buy it directly from the Louisiana Fish Fy company. I still want to make my own from scratch, but this is good on a night when you've worked all day and want it quick.

Day 54 of 365. It's Thursday. My work day was a good one, but after work simple tasks seemed to take forever. A quick trip into WalMart turned into an hour, a quick trip to Food Lion turned into 30 minutes. By the time I got home, it was already 7:00, and we had no idea what to eat for supper. Thank goodness I do Sunday meal prep every now and then. We pulled some chicken enchiladas out of the freezer, added some corn and there you have it, a fairly well balanced home cooked meal.
