Re: Next week is Mardi Gras...

  • No plans for Fat Tuesday, although I usually eat a paczkis or two Smile

    I usually give up chocolate or something like that for lent.  I was thinking wine, but I honestly don't think i could do that...

    I do participate in lent, and I do eat fish on Fridays!

  • Any plans for Fat Tuesday?  Nope

    Do you eat paczkis? I've had one or two before, but don't go out of my way to have one on Fat Tuesday.

    Are you giving up anything for Lent?  I'm not Catholic, so I usually don't.

    If you participate in Lent, do you eat fish on Fridays?  DH is Catholic, so we don't eat meat on Fridays during Lent.  Well, I don't eat meat when I'm having a meal with him.  :)  Neither of us eat fish, so we usually stick to cheese pizza, grilled cheese, pasta with marinara, eggs, etc...

  • Any plans for Fat Tuesday? It's spring (or winter?) break so no class, and I may not even have to work that day! Hooray! My friend has a band concert that night and I may go... we'll see. 

    Do you eat paczkis? I've had them before but don't go out of my way to get one. 

    Are you giving up anything for Lent? Yes, meat. It's hard to give up something like sweets because DH's birthday is St. Patrick's day so I want to be able to celebrate! (However, he planned to make corned beef for his birthday.. and now we may wait until Easter)

    If you participate in Lent, do you eat fish on Fridays? Yes. I've never given up meat entirely before, usually it's just meat-less Fridays with fish&chips or breaded tilapia with lime (from Costco) for dinner. This year it'll be no meat except fish!

  • Any plans for Fat Tuesday? Stupid work

    Do you eat paczkis? Yes, yes I do.

    Are you giving up anything for Lent? Probably not.  I'm already dieting/exercising, and that's taxing enough

    If you participate in Lent, do you eat fish on Fridays? I don't really participate since I am no longer religious, but I do often give up somethign because it never hurts to test  yourself

    Honestly, I totally agree with this. Despite the religious aspect - giving up something that you think "I can't live without!" for X number of days is a great way to push yourself.

    Do you eat paczkis? I will most definitely eat a paczki! even if its 20 pts?

    Are you giving up anything for Lent? probably not

    If you participate in Lent, do you eat fish on Fridays? yes! but not because of Lent just because we have an abundance of it from last year and its really good.

  • Any plans for Fat Tuesday?  Nope

    Do you eat paczkis? Nope.

    Are you giving up anything for Lent?  I will, I just don't know what yet. If I can't decide what to give up, I'll do something extra each day.

    If you participate in Lent, do you eat fish on Fridays?  We don't eat fish every Friday, but we always have vegetarian meals on Fridays during lent.


    Speaking of Fish Fridays.... WHERE DO I GET AN AMAZING FISH FRY around Northville area??

    Any plans for Fat Tuesday? Work.

    Do you eat paczkis? Yes, my boss is awesome and goes to Hamtramck to get us some.

    Are you giving up anything for Lent? I work on doing something and giving up something - this year I will be in Church every Sunday and will give up sugar. I cannot fast since I am nursing. I plan for both to continue on after Lent.

    If you participate in Lent, do you eat fish on Fridays? Yes. I try to incorporate fish on most Fridays anyway but always during Lent.

  • Any plans for Fat Tuesday? Unfortunately no

    Do you eat paczkis? Not usually, but being pregnant and working in hamtramck, I might have to indulge!

    Are you giving up anything for Lent? I do every year, but I can't decide in what I'll give up yet...maybe pop

    If you participate in Lent, do you eat fish on Fridays? Yes, I can't wait to eat fried fish!  My secret Inner Fat Girl confession- once I realized I'd be pregnant during Lent, I've been looking forward to eating fried fish every Friday and not feeling guilty!
