Mardi Gras in 2021

Happy Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Pancake Day, as we prepare to begin Lent tomorrow on Ash Wednesday! "Shrove" comes from the Old English verb "shrive" (to have one's sins forgiven), since people would often go to Confession today, to begin Lent free from their sins. #ShroveTuesday https://t.co/ftfeHTA2ZW

Today is Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday, the last day of indulgence before Lent. In Ireland, it's Pancake Day, so my Irish husband made these pancakes, traditionally flavored with lemon and sugar. 🇮🇪 If you're celebrating, I hope you're having a good time indulging in your way! https://t.co/l8jhQlOKGO

Someone send me a great (tried and true) King Cake recipe! Missing Mardi Gras celebrations and a Shrove Tuesday dinner this year, so anything helps! https://t.co/W7rYDMPGSF
