Hey, Gordon, Where y’at? I know what it means to miss New Orleans, having lived there for several years, in several neighborhoods, in the 1980s. Since leaving I had seen recipes for and made several king cakes; I can not recall where this recipe came from, but it was one of the best: good tasting and not as difficult as it might appear, being a yeast dough with lengthy instructions. It was meant to evoke the spirit of the season, not ignite a flambeau. Laissez les bon temps roulez, eh?
