It's Fat Tuesday!
Laissez le bon temps rouler!
(Let the good times roll.)
You might start your celebration with the traditional Hurricane (drink).
Then, maybe, indulge in a big pot of Jambalaya!
And don't forget the King Cake!
Of course if you take a dim view of all this indulgence and call the day Shrove Tuesday, right after confessing your sins and begging for absolution, you'll have to settle for pancakes.
Tomorrow (some say) is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of 40 days of Lent.
A time for fasting and giving up foods you love.
But for the rest of us tomorrow is Valentine's Day, a day to indulge in chocolate.
Lots and lots of chocolate!
