Mardi Gras (French for "Fat Tuesday") is the day before Ash Wednesday, and is also called "Shrove Tuesday" or "Pancake Day". It is the final day of Carnival. It is a celebration that is held just before the beginning of the Christian liturgical season of Lent.
Enjoy your paczki [Paczki are similiar to a bismark, but made with a richer, heavier dough. They take much longer to fry and are fried to a deep golden brown. A Lenten treat made on Fat Thursday and Fat Tuesday.]!! If you aren't able to get one, stop by IHOP (I saw on the news that they are giving out FREE pancakes - but they are asking for donations to go towards good causes)!
