Fat Friday hangover
02/21/2007 10:40:18 / other
For most of the country, it's the morning after:
The morning after feasting, after gorging, after drinking, after carousing, after singing, after dancing, after a general sentiment of "Eat, Drink and Be Merry for Tomorrow We Die."
Today, after all, is the first day of Lent, and the first day after Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) parties across the country. In fact, the word for these celebrations -- carnival -- literally means "Good-bye to meat."
I had my own little carnival throughout the day yesterday, but it was severely underrated for a culinary circus; in fact, there was very little hedonism other than some ground beef, potato bits, and a pint of oatmeal stout from the Cellar (An Odessa wine shop).
I also had a Taco Tuesday plate at Rosa's, and ate those beef and chicken soft tacos for lunch, dinner and a snack. Wooooooo, exciting!
But enough about my own little spurt of indulgence before the big day.
What did you all do to celebrate the last day for 40 days you could eat meat, sweets, have alcohol, or do whatever it is you've given up for Lent?
If it's interesting, I'll publish it in my next blog. E-mail jedwards@mrt.com.
