a friend of mine makes a King cake every year for Mardi Gras [even though she doesn't live in New Orleans].
she said that she found purple sugar in the store this year.  ew....yuck!

Nothing like the parades during Mardi Gras. Love the party atmosphere. The drinks never stop flowing. The food is great too. Many people to watch and beads to catch. What a time for souvineers. Part ON. BMaston12

I would love to go to Mardi Gras. Seems like it would be so much fun.

That is one of the things on my bucket list.  I need to start making plans for the near future.

I would love to be able to go to Mardi Gras!  I think it would be so thrilling!  I do plan on going someday!

I would love to go to Mardi Gras too!

The purple sugar is just sugar with purple food color - no?

Is it Mardi Gras only in New Orlean? I dont know what is it look like but I"m interested to know about it.

Not interested in going to Mardi Gras, but the cake sounds good.  I didn't think purple sugar was such a new thing, it seems I've decorated with it before.

The only time I ever got to New Orleans was many years ago, and that year they did not have Mardi Gras.  I've forgotten the reason - it was long before the Katrina.  I didn't really miss it, though, because we had a two-year-old with us.

Hmmmm, not sure I would!

I bet Mardi Gras is such a blast, I want to go there one time before all of my partying days are behind me.

Id love to go to that area but not around Mardi Gras, people acting idiotic while down there for the most part doesnt sound like my kind of fun

I have been to six or seven Mardi Gras adventures in New Orleans. Several of these were for bachelor's parties ( including my own). I have never failed to become amazed at the levels of debauchery that can occur! My wife has indicated that she would like to go and I described the smell of raw sewage that assaults the nostrils when it rains in a city that is below sea level, as well as all of the vomit from over indulgent revelers,  and she no longer has an interest in going ( my oh my-imagine that). We have settled on going for a somewhat less toxic visit during jazz fest because New Orleans has so much to see...great restaurants, antique/art shops,  and historical locations.
