Today is Fat Tuesday, or in french it is Mardi Gras. This is the day where where some people practice the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras celebrations are happening all across the world. I spoke of my daughter's Book Fair at her school and the theme this year is "Mardi Gras". I wonder what the Mardi Gras celebrations look like in Louisiana this year. If you are there, send some pics. :-)
Question, are you eating tons of richer foods in anticipation of a season of fasting?
I'm not,
I'm on Weight Watchers so there will be no crazy stuffing myself with rich foods. :-)
Are there Mardi Gras celebrations in your neck of the woods?
