New Orleans will be up for grabs today with beads and beers. Other will go their religious route and other will have special foods to consume in this week before Lent begins. The traditions are incredibly varied and I am simply interested to see how other may celebrate today or those who prepare for Lent. Or those here that will go “meh”!
My neighbor brought over these Olympic sized pastries this bakery created just for Fat Tuesday! Yum! I wont have to eat the rest of the day! How about you?!

Meh!
And I don’t eat donuts, glorified or not.
I bought paczki for my husband’s co-workers, but that’s about it. And I’m eating my hot cross bun today and not waiting for Wednesday!
Oh I think I can stretch to a pancake or four….or five!
@Cruiser Squeeze some paczki juice in the bowl,then add your oatmeal.Geez,I have to tell you everything ;)
(Mardi Gras literally means fat tuesday)
I’m not Catholic, so I’m not plumping up.. but maybe that’ll give me an excuse to dig into some Ben & Jerry’s. mmm
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
I already ate that Paczki some I guess I’‘ll just have to dry guam the oatmeal and raisins. I could hang a feed bag around my ears and still type and get my work done!
@Cruiser Yes! That is what you must do! Make it a happy experience by whistling some Frank Zappa (Watermelon in Easter Hay) while you’re in there!;0
I’m knowing what it means to miss New Orleans. ;-)
Wait for the ice on my driveway to melt and then trek to the Post Office in order to mail my mother her hearing raid batteries.

Make appointment with lawyer for tweaking of will, health care proxy and living will.
Try not to obsess over what is iambic pentameter and what is not, ya know?
I’ll probably just keep to my normal eating routine – that seems to be getting me fat quite nicely, thanks! (Oh – and those jelly beans I bought yesterday aren’t hurting either.)
I’m filling myself up with all sorts of cold remedies for today! Okay, I also bought a couple bags of chocolate because they were on sale…
Didn’t even realize it was Mardi Gras. I’m actually fasting today (for health reasons).
I started fruit/veggie smoothies yesterday so “nothing” I guess would be my answer. ); Now I’m craving a cheeseburger. ):
You all blow!
