Fat Tuesday? More like Fat Weekend...
My roommates and I are all getting really excited for Lent. We've been thinking about what we are going to do and what we are going to give up for the 40 day period of sacrifice before Easter. But nothing gets us more excited than thinking about the day before Ash Wednesday, when you are supposed to indulge one last time before you give certain things up. For many people, this means food. For my roommates and I, we decided this past weekend we would try and celebrate Mardi Gras all weekend long by indulging in our favorite junk food. Graeter's and Ben & Jerry's ice cream have both been involved in that equation, as well as candy, candy, and more candy. But just because the weekend is over doesn't mean our indulging will cease. We still have the actual Fat Tuesday before we start our period of fasting and sacrifice. So until then, bring on the cake and ice cream!
