I fell in love with king cake on a trip to New Orleans when I was in college. It’s a giant cinnamon roll covered in pretty colored sugar, what’s not to like?
Last year I was excited to see that the grocery stores in Houston carry them near Mardi Gras time, but Mark thought they looked awful and said no. So this year I bought one from Whole Foods, because 1) he wasn’t there to say no, and 2) anything made at Whole Foods is probably good, right? And, in fact, it was delicious. Mark had just a little bit of crow with the two pieces he ate on the first night.
