It's Mardi Gras

Happy Fat Tuesday.  I went in to the local grocery, referred to by some as ghetto mart, and picked up some doughnuts.  I think I'll indulge today prior to starting the Lenten diet which takes off a little of the weight added during the winter.  Enjoy.

Update: From Balloon Juice-Shrove (Pancake) Tuesday, time to use up all the saved butter and sweetener, before Ash Wednesday and Lent’s enforced fasts. (Enforced, for most of our European ancestors, by the starvation season between the end of last year’s harvest and the first of this spring’s growth—but if you’re going to suffer anyway, might as well get some spiritual credit in return.) Carne vale: farewell to the flesh!

Unlike me, not a way to lose extra weight from winter.
