Today is Mardi Gras.
Or Fat Tuesday.
Or Pancake Tuesday.
Or Shrove Tuesday.
Whatever you call it, if you observe these kinds of things, it's a day to pig out because tomorrow the Christian period of Lent begins.
Lent means giving up stuff.
Stuff like chocolate and wine and for one particular friend of mine: cheeseburgers.
I'm going off to the Pie Place to have lunch with a group of friends and former colleagues.
Not as any observation of anything connected with Lent, it just happened to be on this day.
Now my beloved SWMBO doesn't observe this period of "wanting" either but she did prepare a delicious meal the other day that could have been served to the observant today.

It was a delicious bacon-topped pork roast with an orange marmalade glaze.
Hungry yet?
Well, don't let me stop you.
If you want to "pig out" today, have at it.
