Did You Hear? It’s FAT Tuesday!

Some people associate Fat Tuesday with Mardis Gras and the party before the big sacrifice of whatever you’re giving up for lent.

Not me.

At my house, today is a free-for-all….it’s as though calories don’t even count today!  I mean, if thousands of people in New Orleans are going to chug sugar-laden hurricane drinks until they can’t see straight, a chocolate covered snack or two today won’t kill me, right?

Of course, the fact that Fat Tuesday is occurring smack in the middle of our Girl Scout Cookie season can’t be a mere coincidence, can it?  Sometimes you just gotta go with fate….and have a few cookies.

Thin mint, anyone?
