Mardi Gras!

I can't believe it's already the start of Lent! My, my how time flies. But before deciding what to give up or, even better, what kind act to do each day, Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras MUST be observed :)

So this time last year, as you can see, I was being attacked with silly string by crazy French people on the streets of Nice at the real Carnival... And although that's pretty difficult to live up to, I did have a rather indulgent and truly American Mardi Gras this year nonetheless.

Let's just say it involved a late-night dinner at In-N-Out with Miss Nicole Fait, and it was delicious!

For all you vegetarians who don't like cheese out there (yeah that might just be me but you never know), here is how to make In-N-Out vegetarian friendly:

STEP 1: Grill a Morning Star Marsala Veggie Burger to perfection in the comfort of your own apartment

STEP 2: Place grilled veggie burger in a ziploc bag

STEP 3: Drive as quickly as possible to the nearest In-N-Out

STEP 4: Order fries, a chocolate shake, and a "veggie burger" (essentially a hamburger without the patty)

STEP 5: Upon receiving your food, insert the cooked veggie burger patty into the In-N-Out style "veggie burger"

STEP 6: Eat to your heart's content leaving no fry behind!

So that was my Mardi Gras, what did you do to celebrate??
