Celebrate Mardi Gras!

Celebrate Mardi Gras!

Happy Mardi Gras! We could call if Fat Tuesday, but why would we when we can be fancy and keep the 's' in Gras silent?! This holiday is French in origin, so it makes sense that the hub of the hullabaloo is down in New Orleans. (I seriously can't wait to visit that...
