Did you know Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday? Today is traditionally the last chance to binge on rich, fatty foods before the fasting of the Lenten season. In Louisiana and other parts of the country, Fat Tuesday is an excuse for a big party. In sedate Seattle, probably not too many regrets tomorrow morning...
I might make a poor excuse for chicken creole tonight, with leftover Costco roast chicken and frozen Kroger okra. Or maybe just curry, depending on where the culinary Muse leads.
We are having a taste of beautiful springlike weather this week. After the morning fog burns off, sunshine and nearly 60 today! Yesterday Dolly and I took the first trail ride in what seems like forever. The signs are pointing to an early spring.
The neighbors are just starting to emerge, blinking around in their gardens at the mess. I've been busy for weeks, cleaning up and planting grass seed on all the ugly bare spots. Hopefully it germinates in this warm weather. It's the green time of year in Seattle.
