In New Orleans and the surrounding area, no commerce take place except that which supports the event, i.e. beer/booze, food, etc. It is a State holiday, meaning that all State offices are closed. State and Federal offices and courts in N.O. are closed. No school, no mail, no banking, etc. Not exactly sure how the northern half of the state operates but, south of I-10, from east to west...it's a 24 hour celebration.

Years ago, we used to go to N.O. for the day...not anymore...there are plenty of parades here on the Northshore.

While I'm here, let me thank all for the comments and points on the cook, they're much appreciated :thumb:. Don't know why I didn't post this plate pic originally....oh yeah, it might've had something to do with Mardi Gras and a lot of :cheers: :toast:!!
