It’s carnival time down here in New Orleans, so please excuse my absence during this most magical time of year. Last weekend was the “first” weekend of parades, which is traditionally followed by another, longer weekend of parades leading to Fat Tuesday, but this year, there’s a “break” to allow for the Superbowl. It’s crazy times down here in NOLA.

Last weekend I not only watched the parades with friends and my favorite parade snack but I also marched in a parade.

Check me out in my first mardi gras parade appearance with the truly amazing and fabulous PussyFooters.

Coincidence that I’m a PF (PickleFreak) and a PF (PussyFooter)?
I think not.

I’ll be back after Mardi Gras and I hope to see you along the route!

Steve Slutsky of Zayda’s Pickles is a guest on your newest favorite show ever, The Dave Dingwall Show.

Or is this really a lost episode of The Tim & Eric Show?

Uncle Muscles can dream can’t he?

Zayda’s Pickles just happen to be some of my most favorite pickles ever and this video only makes me love them more. I have to thank the wickedly genius artist Kevin Finklea for bringing this video to my attention a long, long time ago. I think I was so stunned by it that it’s taken me this long to recover and blog about it. I’m a stronger woman now.

Poop, there it is.
