Happy Mardi Gras

In honor of Mardi Gras, and my hometown, I ate a piece of King Cake today -- courtesy of one of our clients in New Orleans. I didn't get the baby and it wasn't from Haydel's Bakery, but you can't have everything.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the Lenten season, and I've decided to give up....Little Debbie Swiss Rolls.

I'm probably going to die before Easter.

No! Don't do eet!

I don't think it is possible for you to go without your daily alloted requirement of Little Debbie.

I fear for the sake of me and the cats.

Seriously? Do you really eat that much Little Debbie??
Hrm. I would have never imagined!

As for the beginning...what the heck is King Cake, and what on earth is 'getting the baby'???

Never been to or participated in any kind of mardigras....perhaps I have a lot to learn still ;)

I had a piece also. I didn't get no baby. *pout* It was pretty soggy though and not fresh enough but it is Texas.
