Crawfish Time!

This weekend just flew by, I will be super busy at work this week. I am a recruiter in the health field, and we are always busy during the holidays. Nurses will want off Good Friday & Easter this weekend, so hospitals and clinics will be calling the office with shift needs all this week. Dealing with staffing the health industry where hospitals never close, also means we do not close, we even have on call staff to take care of after hour needs. So I will unfortunately be working on Good Friday while most everyone else has off.

Swamp Thing & Crawfish Festival did not have Abita Strawberry Harvest, but I will be checking Whole Foods & Central Market this week, I am on a mission!

We had a blast though! For food we had boiled crawfish,



crawfish monica, crawfish crab cakes. Cafe Du Monde had a beignet stand but I was beyond full, but now I regret not getting them.


We also had large drinks, they had Hurricanes but I am not a fan so I opted for a strawberry & pina colada mix in mine.



In addition to food and drinks they had carnival rides and bands playing cajun music!




We ate, we drank, we danced...I loved it!



The festival made me really wish I had gone home for Mardi Gras!!

It looks like you had a blast! Your pictures are making me crave crawfish! Tampa has a festival like that but I missed it this year, so I hoping to hit up some crawfish boils when I go home in a few weeks =)

P.S. I saw Abita strawberry AGAIN at Whole Foods yesterday, so if they have it in Florida they must have it in Texas, right?!
