Today is Fat Tuesday or as some people call it, Pancake Day! This is the first day of Madi Gras and the day before the start of Lent. When Linda was in Catholic grade school, Lent was a time when you gave something up. She would always pick peas. Some people celebrate it as Pancake Day. It is when you use up all your oil, eggs, milk and sugar because many people fell that those foods should be given up for Lent. Linda and I are celebrating Fat Tuesday as a day to eat all the fattening foods and not worry about our weight. She had a bagel with real jelly for breakfast and a chocolate truffle for a snack. I had my chicken breakfast and a cookie right after! I wish every day could be a Fat day!
