It is Fat Tuesday and that means Ash Wednesday and Lent loom. I'm sure we're all at least familiar with the idea of giving something up for Lent, so here's my question.

What are you giving up this year? [Not giving something up this year? Make something up!]

Hunh. That's neat! I learn so much from LJ, it's amazing. Growing up giving up for Lent wasn't really... enforced for me. But my Catholic friends did have to do it. I've always used it as an excuse to get rid of a bad habit more than a religious thing.

The semlor sounds.... interesting? Both the traditional and modern 'recipe' sound.... not the tastiest. lol When I'm caring for kids we usually make beignets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beignet) to talk about Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday.

So no, I'm not planning on giving anything up :-)
And rightly so! ;-)

Beignets, mmmmmm! I haven't had any since I was in New Orleans in 1980 but I still remember how good they were.
