Cook the Book: Country Fried Steak
I believe Lilla is correct; country fried is in a skillet, and chicken fried is deep fried in a deep fryer.

I would love a king cake!
@schmoosey - And that fried chicken would be nice, too. Mm!

@sooz--funny I made that same ( I think) recipe Sunday night and am about to have the leftovers for lunch
Barbecued shrimp and a baguette for us tonight. And some bourbon I'm sure.

Chicken and sausage gumbo here.
I got the recipe from Food Network. I think it's Emeril's. (not really sure)
Involves the whole 45 minute roux thing and is really good!
I'm off tomorrow so will start at about 2:00.
I really want to attempt a king cake but I don't think that will be feasible.
Next year, I hope.
Happy Mardi Gras!

A good friend has invited me and mine to a Mardi Gras potluck dinner: I'm bringing jambalaya, and contemplating also possibly making a king cake. (So a thank you @MakeARoux for the link -- Now I've got somewhere to start!)

I hosted a Mardi Gras party last night here in Indiana (my husband and I recently moved from New Orleans). I cooked up some red beans and rice, shrimp po'boys and a dear friend sent us a king cake. I also made some pecan lace cookies.
Frozen hurricanes and Abita Amber, special ordered from our local liquor store, kept everyone happy!

We had a big Mardi Gras party here last night in Chengdu - I cooked gumbo for about a 100 people (with the help of a true coon-ass of course), and we boiled 100kg of crawfish. I still have a hangover, great night!

I'm doing the pancakes, which is definitely more Shrove Tuesday, but I'm a high-church Protestant and that's just how we roll. ;) But they will be damn good pancakes. Might do something involving rum and bananas. We shall see.

I was hoping to go to NoNo Cafe in Park Slope, Brooklyn, but sadly they've closed.
Looks like I might have to make beignets for myself.

We're going out for Cajun food at either Yat's in Indianapolis or Zydeco's in Mooresville, IN. I'll also be attempting my first king cake. The boyfriend scored a crown at Burger King, so we're set, I think.

Oh yes ma'am! Maque choux and cheese grits, I just whipped them up last night. Deee-lish-us!

Yup, we're having neighbors over for red beans and rice, gumbo, gumbo z'herbes, shrimp and grits, boudin platter, and crawfish bread. I've already baked a few king cakes (http://makearoux.blogspot.com/2009/02/king-cake.html), but those are now eaten and I'll be baking a couple more. :)

Our chicken is soaking in buttermilk as I write. It shall be fried and eaten cold while waiting for my favorite parade Saturday.
I also haven't had a king cake yet this year because I can't find one that actually has the baby inside the cake.

It's pancakes at my place! (scratch, of course) But I guess that's more Shrove Tuesday than Mardi Gras...

I'll be making Paul Prudhomme's chicken and tasso ham jambalaya (and probably adding some small Maine shrimp in at the very end), with french bread served on the side. Possibly a big green salad. And we'll be drinking Champagne!

I always bake a King Cake. Hmmm looks like this year I just forgot....

Going to a Mardi Gras themed party on the 28th. At the moment I think I'm going to make bourbon spiced pecans.

Friday I am making jambalaya for a small dinner party. I think over the weekend I will be making mufalletas. I am making a King Cake tonight for Friday as well.
