We didn’t really have a Mardi Gras party this year, do y’all want to get together for supper Saturday night? If Chef Troy doesn’t want to come or bring a King’s Cake, I’m sure I could find one (or maybe even make one!) ---

Was Cheffie the one who got the King’s Cake last year. I’m free this weekend if we decide to do something. ---

Cheffie got it last year. And he and Mrs. Chef had Sous Chef this year. Behold the power of the golden baby king! (Not that is causes fertility - I didn’t get pregnant the year I got the baby. I just got a kick-ass job) ---

We’re booked solid this weekend(Saturday we’ve got a B-Day party for our eldest, Sunday we’ve got something in the morning, then we’re hosting a PartyLite show in the evening). Have some fun for us 🙂 Enjoy, Steven ---

I’m afraid Mrs. Chef and I will be out of town, on our way to Missouri to give her family a chance to slobber on Lil’ Miss Sous-Chef. However, I’ll be happy to spring for a king cake if someone else can deliver it to the group. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by psiekier \* > **I’m going to Arkansas with Kelliebeans and we’re going to jump out of a plane.** PETE! No need to do that! We’d let you back into Texas afterwards.(well, maybe a stay in decon would be appropriate) It’s not like you’re FROM Arkansas. You were just visiting right? 😃 Enjoy, Steven ---
