Next Tuesday, February 21, is Mardi Gras. I *had* been making plans for
the meal, but then we made dinner plans for that night without realizing
it was Mardi Gras. So I'll make a Lundi Gras dinner instead.

Anyone else cooking something special for Mardi Gras?

In my childhood we always had the traditional pancakes on Shrove
Tuesday. I remember them being more like Crepes Suzette; at least we ate
them with fresh orange juice and sugar.

Well! That certainly sounds pretty tasty. Especially if you make the
pancakes thin and roll it all up.

I had to look up Shrove Tuesday. Being protestant Lent, Ash
Wednesday, nor Shrove Tuesday was or is observed because it's not
biblical.

There was a church supper on Maundy Thursday at the Congregational
church of my childhood and I think it was sometime during lent that we
took our once a year communion. Maybe it was on Easter Sunday, I
forget. I only remember that we drank grape juice (which always
disappointed me, because I knew that Catholics got to drink wine), we
did it together as a group, bread was passed in a basket and there
were little glass holders built into the pews to hold the glasses when
they weren't being used for communion.

King cake -- I like the traditional, unfilled kind. Haydel's is the
best, but ours will be Publix.

For me Mardi Gras is all about gals flashing their hooters for beads.

No, but whenever someone mentions mardi gras, I am always reminded of
a popeye cartoon where the hero was in NO at mardi gras. It was kind
of weird.
Anyone else remember that particular popeye cartoon? I must have been
around 6 or so when I saw it.

It is my late dad's birthday. He loved N'Orleans when my parents took a
trip there several years ago. I might have to plan to take my mom out
to dinner that night. Thanks for the idea.
