did you know that the first mardi gras celebration was actually in mobile, alabama not new orleans? yes, sir & ma'am, it was. there is your new fact for the day.
so we had to celebrate fat tuesday at urban! & a lovely day of baking it was:
{beignets!}
{praline cookies!}
{pronounced PRAH-LEEN in louisiana}
{& devil's food cupcakes!}
{hehe. i am clever.}
i do hope your lenten penances are going well.
i gave up cussing, which is my usual. i hit three very early on ash wednesday morning but have done quite well since then. matthew, my fellow urban-opener, & i have made it a fun game. on wednesday, we replaced cuss words with celebrity chefs. "paula deen, it!" thursday's task was 90s country singers. "oh, shania twain!" it has been quite humorous. & does actually make me think before speaking, which was the original goal anyhow.
happy first week of lent, friends!
love love,
kjp.
