Fat Tuesday


Fat Tuesday is the day before Lent begins--the day one cleans one's home of all the rich and wonderful things we typically indulge in as we prepare for the 40 day Lenten season when many folks fast and sacrifice some of the things they love as part of their preparations for Lent. I typically give up sweets, and as such, that means on the day before Lent begins I seek one of my favorite desserts -- cannoli!

Since I was working outside of any area that typically carries this favorite of mine, I had (big GRIN here) to settle for a Cold Stone Coffee Lovers ice cream !! But I did miss the cannoli and so sketched this from a photo.
