Around Lolly's Sideboard: Mardi Gras 2025

 


It's the season!  Mardi Gras Season!  Time to let the good times roll.  I love cooking and eating Cajun and Creole food and thought it fitting to showcase some of my most favorite Cajun and Creole cookbooks.



This book is a treasure!  My mama passed in 2023 and while going through her extensive book collection, I spied this one and thought I really needed to keep that one.


Look what I discovered when I opened the cover.


You can understand why it's a treasure!


These vintage salt and pepper shakers were hers as well.



I purchased this set of dinner plates and bowls in New Orleans in a Tabasco themed store.  You cannot look at these and not feel happy!




The fleur de lis embossed glasses were made in France.  There's two sizes:  8 oz. and 16 oz.



The New Orleans shot glass is a nice little extra touch.  

I love the everything all at once linen dish towel!


The purple and yellow Fiestaware disc pitcher represent two of the main colors of Mardi Gras celebrations.  



Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
