Mardi Gras -- Part Two

Part Two of Mardi Gras on the Prairie

A luncheon for my "southern" friends

(Although I do have a native New Orlean and a native Alabaman and a native Louisianan, the others have "loose" ties to the South -- (like the "South side" of Chicago!)

A table for six

the Quaker Lace tablecloth

And because of the menu, the blue Camilla soup bowls and a package of take home Pralines

A simple centerpiece of a silver bowl full of purple and yellow flowers with greenery

And Mardi Gras beads down the center of the table

Hand colored menus

The dining room and living room -- all ready for company

And the Mardi Gras food?

Red beans and rice and Grandmother's cornbread

(and if you read grandmother you read bacon grease)

Bread pudding with a bourbon vanilla sauce 

And as much as I like the anticipation picture

of the dining room before anyone comes

I also like the "after" picture

Showing a Good Time was had by all!

I'm sharing my Mardi Gras table with Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Tablescape Thursday
