I was gonna jump in the jet and pop down to Rio, but Mum needed some milk and bread so I went to Sobeys instead. Gonna miss New Orleans on the way back from Rio, too. Wanted to say HI to Poppa Gator, maybe check out the beads. For Lent, I am giving up. |

Only eat them once a year but after that the rest of lent goes by unregarded although I will happily mark the end with the eating of disgustingly large amounts of chocolate. |

25 Feb 09 - 12:25 AM (#2575306) Subject: RE: BS: Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday.Lent.. You? From: maire-aine Here in the Detroit area, it's Paczki Day. They were only an Eastern European treat when I was a kid. They'd bring a big trayful to each classroom. Nowadays everybody has 'em, even the big grocery stores. As far as I'm concerned, the only acceptable filling is raspberry. Maryanne |

Raspberry was the usual filling and traditional rose petal jam was an occasional alternative. Wish I was chomping down on one right now with my morning coffee. |

25 Feb 09 - 09:33 AM (#2575489) Subject: RE: BS: Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday.Lent.. You? From: Bee-dubya-ell I've given up doing so much stuff over the years that I have accumulated a Lent surplus. I figure quitting drinking is worth ten Lents, quitting smoking is worth another ten, and quitting using mind-altering substances is another ten. So, according to my calculations, I have eleven years to go before I need to worry about it. I'm paid ahead until 2020. |

25 Feb 09 - 05:34 PM (#2575909) Subject: RE: BS: Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday.Lent.. You? From: Liz the Squeak I gave up sermons for Lent one year... I went into the back room and played with the children instead. I learned an awful lot there, more than I ever did from any sermon. I learned I should never contemplate a job in childcare or education! This year I'm going to try and cut down on the amount of cola I drink... not a good day so far. LTS |

If I had to have just one kind, I would fight maire-aine for the raspberry. But I can enjoy any of several fillings. Dean |
