Right in the dreary days of February, we have Mardi Gras. It’s just the pick-me-up we need as we trudge through winter into spring. Fat Tuesday on Feb. 13 is for parties and beads and celebrations before Ash Wednesday. But for most, it’s all about the food. We don’t need much of an excuse to indulge in flavorful Cajun food, but if there’s one on the calendar, we’ll take it.
