Happy Mardi Gras, Ya'll!

I'll second that, and throw in a "Laissez les bon temps rouler!!"

I'll THIRD it! Hugs, Noreen

We call it Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day in Britain.

Husband, three sons and I spent the weekend in the Scottish Highlands, hunting with hawks. It was very hard on my poor old legs, all that walking up and down very rough mountainsides :-( I spent Saturday afternoon sitting in the parked car, knitting, because it was too hard but I made the mistake of going with them on Sunday afternoon and really suffered. We drove home on Monday and yesterday (Shrove Tuesday) was spent with husband and No

My legs by this time were so bad that I couldn't bear the thought of standing at the stove so we got out the Raclette and made little individual pancakes as we wanted them. It was a very good idea, no smell of frying, no going back and forth between the kitchen and dining room and I was sitting down all the time. We'll do it again :-)

I'd also do the hunting again, despite the pain, it was a fantastic experience in glorious scenery and brilliant weather!
