Kids start Mardi Gras break this week and I finally have a date with ms DeLaney at 930
@scruffy.nerf.herder, @mommaofjais, they sell the kits n Walmart Nd they r surprisingly very good it comes with the baby Nd all I feel so bad when sum1 tries it for the first time and they bite the baby
@mommaofjais, I can’t find a pic online when I get home I’ll show ya
@scruffy.nerf.herder, @mommaofjais, oh yes I’m making one on Friday it’s a tradition my daughter Nd I started really fun to do with kids
Up north, we have Paczkis on Fat Tuesday. They’re like jelly-filled donuts, lots of calories. Then Lent season starts where many folks, especially Catholics, give up something like sweets. So Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is their last day to eat up and indulge before Lent.
@mommaofjais, my grandparents wintered in Gulf Shores Alabama each year, and my grandma would make King Cake for her group of friends, complete with the little baby in it. I think that’s a pretty cool tradition, and it sounds delicious!
@scruffy.nerf.herder, Awe I love that!! It’s amazing...if made right...don’t get any from Walmart 🤮 lol but there’s just so many ways to make and fill them!
@scruffy.nerf.herder, it is I love king cake Nd Copeland has this king cake cheese cake it’s to die for I spent 50) on the whole one at least I have an excuse this time lol
@lou-lou27 I keep wanting to move south I keep begging

@lou-lou27 I have never lived anywhere but indiana and I hate winter so I need to escape this place and move south where is warm more then cold
What is Mardi gras break I have never heard of this
@scruffy.nerf.herder yeah def not an Indiana thing they dont even talk about Mardi gras
@dragontrainer1, same. I’m in Michigan, although the Polish have their Paczkis for Mardi Gras, so that has become a tradition for most of us west/northern Michiganders.
@scruffy.nerf.herder heck yes paczkis are amazing
As a northerner, this is a wild concept to me! Do your schools then make up that time later in the year?
@lou-lou27, Did you know it actually originated in Mobile? We were in Mobile last year for it and learned all about the history! I never knew!
@scruffy.nerf.herder, idk about Louisiana, but here in south MS, we only got like 2-3 days off for Mardi Gras. Usually it was that Monday and Tuesday
@mommaofjais, lol no New Orleans born Nd bread
I had so much fun in NOLA! Y’all are so sweet and fun. Can’t wait to go back.
