I already knew that Mike was on a "Paella Mission" before arriving at Mahognay Oaks on Saturday afternoon. He unveiled this beauty from the stove, that was even more beautiful from the table out on the veranda.
Eating outside is always such a treat at Mahgoany Oaks. John and Mike have such a beautiful place, that they always make its most welcoming. Spirits of all kinds move at Mahogany Oaks.
Starting with a nice bottle of wine from Pat and Graeme...
...we moved on through salads, paella, and garlic cheese bread, with great gusto.
There would have been even "more gusto" had John and I not been deep in conversation over a sweet/hot chex mix and Mike' s fabulous deviled eggs, while we waited.
It got a little cool for the veranda, so we moved inside for more conversation and flan for dessert! Mike never ceases to amaze me. There I was, spoiled again. Huge Merci to Mike and John. Sammie cat and I had so much fun (even it she spent her whole time there "undercover".) And, the fun just kept coming. On to Madison and BIll and Glenn.
Happy Happy Easter to you and Bodil too, Niels. I'm in St. Louis at the moment and will get back to New Orleans on the Monday after Easter. Miss and Love you both-Laury and Sammie Cat
