Happy Shrove Tuesday!! What are you Jellies doing to get "Fat" today?

Asked by Cruiser (40449points) March 8th, 2011

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?!

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!

(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

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.

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).
