Seven years ago today, B and I evacuated Hurricane Katrina with our friend Kevin….

This morning, I woke up to this in my email box:

Can you spot the name of the street we lived on in New Orleans?!?

So surreal that another hurricane is over NOLA right now….

Happy Mardi Gras everyone! To share in the spirit of the season and to lament the fact that we didn’t go back “home” for the season this year, I dug some photos out of the MG archives to share here. Living in New Orleans for 5 years was THE. BEST.

If you’re in the mood, you can get last year’s King Cake recipes here.
