I know this year it might be a little difficult to get into the Mardi Gras spirit, but it can be done, after all, we here in the Forum are old hands at virtual Mardi Gras celebrations.:cool: So put on your purple, green and gold, your "Mardi Gras" mask (the only mask you'll need :cool:) and come out on the Forum veranda where we are serving our usual banquet of Banana Foster Belgian Waffles, smothered shrimp and grits, beignets, coffee and hurricanes.

As usual I'll be tossing beads and singing "IKO IKO" please join in between bites :cool:

Zedman I do believe the baby is in your slice of king cake and you know what that means :cool:

When the parades got canceled New Orleanians got creative with their homes. "FLOAT HOUSES"....and a new tradition is born.

Thought you might like to see a "few" (250) photos. https://www.nola.com/multimedia/phot...450f1c0.html#1
