Fat Tuesday has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
Since I can't be in New Orleans, I had to celebrate Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday at home. I will be celebrating Lent. It will be a season of rest and replenishing and only weekly video uploads on Thursdays. It is quite laborious trying to create content, work full time, study web design, be creative and maintain a happy and healthy home life! In 40 days, I plan to emerge a stronger, rested and wiser woman. I have always been transformed and blessed during Lent. I love pomp and circumstance and REGALIA! So watching the entire Whitney Houston Homegoing Funeral Service was amazing. As with any funeral, I was inspired and Whitney's funeral was as beautiful as a funeral can be. I've never seen one like it on TV or in real life. I am grateful that Mrs. Cissy Houston shared it with the world. With Whitney being a Leo and I felt like she was the ultimate "friend in my head". Listening to the expressions, I can tell that she was funny, warm, genuine and headstrong! We would have gotten along just fine! I uploaded an unlisted "hair porn" video. www.youtube.com

Get out your beads and prepare for poor decision-making. Fat Tuesday, otherwise known as Mardi Gras, is just around the corner, and plenty of people in New Orleans and beyond will be celebrating with the help of fatty foods and alcoholic drinks before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. Along with colorful parades and outrageous outfits, the holiday started in 1857 has one particularly traditional fatty food to offer: the king cake. Baked in an oval shape with the colors purple, green, and gold it?sa pastry confection often filled with fruit and cream cheese. A small plastic baby Jesus and some trinkets are part of the fun; they?re baked into the cake. Whoever gets baby Jesus in their piece of cake can be king for a day. King of what? Your guess is as good as ours, but with hundreds of thousands sold each year, it?sa sweet?and popular?deal.

How to make vegan Paczki? or some of you may be wandering, what is a Paczki? Well, Paczki (which sounds nothing like what it appears, poonch-ke) is are light, delectable pieces of art filled with creams or preserves and topped with powdered sugar or icing. They are most like a jelly-filled yeast doughnut. It is a polish tradition to eat Paczki on Fat Tuesday or Fat Thurday to clear to house of lard, sugar, and everything else great (probably not vegan) before the start of lent. Catholic Polish towns in America like Hamtramck, Michigan have huge festivals for Pacski Day. So, let the Paczki party begin! Ingredients: 1 can coconut milk 1/3 cup raw sugar 1 package of dry active yeast 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 2 3/4 to 3 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon of oil + enough for frying (so a lot) 1/2 cup fruit preserves 12 cup powdered sugar Directions/Method: In a large mixing bowl, stir together coconut milk, raw sugar, yeast, salt, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Mix in the flour with spoon or hands to form a slightly damp, but workable dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, until it is uniform and consistent throughout. Place the dough in a clean and light oiled bowl and cover with kitchen towel. Be patient and allow the dough to double in size, about 2 hours. Place the dough on a floured surface and roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or something like it (cookie cutter, ramekin). Place ...
