Not having the time after work to shop or make anything really authentic, just throwing together whatever I happened to have in the freezer and pantry, and called it Mardi Gras dinner.

Mardi Gras Surf & Turf, New Orleans Shrimps and Blackened (sous vided, Actually) Beef Tenderloin

Only you could just "throw this together"! No only the cooking(I'm sure its delicious) but the presentation and table decor is fantastic.

I've have a 'Mardi Gras' ... bought it from Florida Colors. It finally developed an inflo last fall, and then promptly shriveled up and fell off as the days were already too short and cool for it to develop. This will be the third summer I have had it. I was outside tonite watering plants and was pleased to see another inflo developing on it! Am hoping this will be the year I finally have flowers! And what flowers they are from what your photo shows! What's the fragrance like on it?

That's what I thought, goofy combo I am struggling right now as when the design was done, we where planning on staying in this house. Now, we bought land and are building late this summer and have a huge shrub bed on the front I need to fill in before we can put on market. I really don't want to spend all the money on my "dream shrub bed" just to move. Trying to figure out how to fill in and make it look nice economically.

I have a 10 year old TMG. Blooms all year long and always has seed pods. Almost to the point of calling them a nuisance. It should have been root pruned and soil refreshed this spring.

Thank you all very much. I hope you too had a wonderful fun Mardi Gras.

The dirty rice is really filthy rice, because I had lots of leftover in it. LOL! Had no sausage, so I used hot dogs. Hahaa!

But the black garlic made the rice very delicious.

The red/white/red/white thing is just daikon in two flavors, together with sectioned carrot, they were my symbolic representation of beads, which is part of Mardi Gras tradition.

Well, my smart mouse outsmarted me again and my post disappeared.

What a trove of creativity your threads are! I had not heard of black garlic before either. Love the way the mask feathers are repeated by your dirty rice garnish.

Thanks!

Black garlic is a fashionable amazing "super food" which supposedly has lots of health benefits, besides being delicious.

Black garlic is not cheap. So I learned to make my own.
