Happy Mardis Gras - Page 2

Thanks for the reminder! Our little bakery is making king cakes so I guess I'd better go get one. I want the family to experience one, even if it's not an official one...yet.

It's not just Fat Tuesday, it is Super Fat Tuesday!

Wouldn't that make it Morbidly Obese Tuesday?

So who's up for a Jazz Kitchen meet tonight?

And Alex's steadfast refusal to participate in fun makes me want to participate twice as much, to compensate for the global effect of his resolute stick-in-the-mudness.

A small baby, symbolizing the baby Jesus, is baked into each cake.

They don't mention that it should be a Jewish baby, snatched in the dead of night.

I had a coworker mention a Super Tuesday party she was helping throw. I wonder if it has anything to do with MG. Personally, I'm kinda wishing I'd thrown a Super Tuesday party. Maybe an election night gathering? Ugh, Why Tuesday?

That alone is reason enough!

Personally, I like to live every day as if it were Mardis Gras!

It wouldn't be Mardis Gras without Girls Gone Wild!

Happy Fat Tuesday!!!

Don't forget to vote!

There's no reason to assume that these girls don't participate in Ash Wednesday. They just don't necessarily get the ashes daubed on their foreheads.

There is something to be said about participating in the feast/fast cycle. At the Eastern Orthodox church we used to go to in San Francisco, lots of fasts to keep track of. Pain in the ass if it's your turn to serve lunch. Lent especially. The payoff was that after the midnight Easter service, which lasts about three and a half hours, just when you're about to cut your throat, there's a big feast with mounds of sausage, potatoes, these horribly rich "Pascha" desserts that the ladies compete over, and bottomless vodka. Lots of dancing as well, though primarily by the bachelors in the congregation who took pains to see that I, as a spiritual guest, had enough vodka.

It was not king cake, but I stopped and picked up a tuxedo cake and that was awesome and filled the bill for our Mardis Gras dinner of jambalaya.

Oh, and when I got home last night, the line out the door of my polling place was a great sight to see.
