Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) serves (paron the pun) to remind us of the beginning of Lent the next day: Ash Wednesday. It is a reminder that Easter is not far away and is the last day (for those whom observe Lent and also wish to give up a vice or two for said duration) to over-indulge; to let your hair down and dress up, to stuff yourself with forbidden foods (quizas - even drinks), and enjoy yourselves before settling down for the deprivations of Lent!
So, mi familia, for today - eat
heartily, drink the heck outta the caffeinated/carbonated/overly
sugarized drinks, partaaaay, boot scoot and boogey 'til your hearts
content, and remember me while doing all of this cause this gals not
giving anything up por la Lent/la Cuaresma! LOL!
This year Lent begins Wednesday, February 13 and ends Saturday, March 30!
