is February 28 this year.
When the ex and I lived in Louisiana, I experienced the wonders of Mardi Gras for the first time. Never before had I seen parades for a month, celebrations with bright colors, beads, masks, feathers, candy, and music. The kids even had parades in the grade schools. It was a blast. Each year, it was such fun to have that to look forward to in the midst of the dull, cold winter.
I miss the parades & festivities.
Now, we have King Cake and I give the kids beads of gold, green and purple each year on Fat Tuesday… but it’s not quite the same.
Here’s an easier recipe for King Cake that has a photo.
