The festivities shouldn't stop when the big night ends. Invite friends to swing by the day after for an authentic New Orleans-style afternoon. On the menu:
* Shrimp and Hearts of Palm Remoulade: The shrimp marinate overnight, so they're packed with flavor.
* Chicken and Sausage Gumbo: What Creole-inspired spread would be complete without gumbo?
* Tropical Storm Punch: Hair of the dog, right?
* Pecan and Chocolate Pralines: NOLA classics.
So go on, have a party. Again!
