Cinco de Mayo Fun!
It was a lovely evening and we joined some friends for the Cinco de Mayo celebration at Agave's Mexican Grill and Cantina, in downtown Lafayette. As I walked past the band area, someone called my name. It was my dear old friend, Ronnie, whose fabulous blues band was going to entertain the crowd. The patio was packed to the gills with party goers.
This group of Cajun gals were having fun!
"Long Live the French", cheers!

So among good friends, I ordered a Margarita and got a pic of my friend's blues band. He is the lead guitar player, on left, with the berret and sunglasses on, behind the speaker.
I also took a little clip of one of my favorite oldie, but goodie songs, "I Hear Ya Knockin', But You Can't Come In"!

I love chicken enchiladas. You and your friends sure had a fun evening.
I think you have a yummily interesting blog.
Thanks so much for adding my blog to your blog list. I have already added "Cajun Delights" to my links.
And also, thanks for your comments and for following me back.
Another one for my growing list of recipes; just found out that over here cilantro is coriander.
Have a good one.
sounds so good and easy. Margaritas here too.
I like the way music is so accommodated there in LA, always a nook and cranny somewhere for the band to set up.
Love your Blog, all that music and crawfish makes me want to drive down there and party with yall.
Just might drop in someday!!

Wanted to let you know my family finally tried your chocolate pecan pie. It was very good, dark and rich. This is a fun place to visit, to travel to another state while staying in my PJs!
The enchiladas look sooo yummy. My feet got to tappin' so much I played your video twice. Cool sounds and one of my favorite songs. Thanks! The Gulf situation makes me sicker by the day. Yesterday, when I saw my beloved Louisiana coastline I couldn't stop the tears from fallin'. Again.
Mmmmmm yummy sounding recipe and I love Mexican food.
Happy Mother's Day Marguerite. I'm sure you are celebrating in style!
hey, louisianalady!!! girl, loved your friend's music here!!! thanks so much for sharing - felt like i was right there, sipping on a nice cold drink! got back few weeks ago from my trip home to the magnolias and dogwood and azaleas - fabulous wonderful time in the sunshine every day! - geeezzzeee...i miss shreveport SO much - yesterday for mom's day my two daughters here took me down to a new little place closer to the beach that serves all cajun food - neither of the owners are from "home" but they do a great job on the menu nevertheless - i couldn't decide on brunch or lunch - so i made up my own little menu and tried their grits for the first time - nice and coarsely ground - divine!!! the gumbo was fabulous [last time not quite thick enough for me] - a few fried shrimp [OMG good], a little coleslaw and french fries [yummmmmy], all with a cold mug of "swampwater" - and then a beignet for dessert - way way delicious!!!
my daughter lisa's ex-husband is colombian so she learned to cook a number of colombian dishes and does a lot of mexican as well - and we all love mexican food anyway - of course, can't compare to good old southern louisiana fare but -
hope you had a marvelous mother's day, dear friend - oh, and i see you now over at some of my other blog friends, too - wonderful!!! isn't blogland just a wonderland!

Thanks for all the recipes. I was having major homesickness. I have tried a couple of your recipes and they are wonderful! I look forward to reading your posts.
Kittie- Thanks, I'm so glad you like them! You're welcome and I'm so happy that you enjoyed the music. I know, it's very hard to watch, but they said today that the oil spill is shrinking, and is now spewing gas, which evaporates! Yay! So I'm hoping and praying for the best! We've got to stay positive, here, or we'd go nuts!
Eddie- I'm not sure, but I don't think that he's from Louisiana.lol Kentucky is about 1,000 miles from here! I think that you're right about him not eating shrimp. lol Merci, cher, likewise!
