Let's celebrate Fat Thursday!!! :) I've recently got into to the habit of checking the "On this day" section of wikipedia, where you can find out what national holidays and festivals are going around the world. Well, I was delighted to discover that courtesy of the Germans and the Poles, today we get "a day of gluttony and belly-worship, when people meet in their homes or cafés with their friends and relatives and eat large quantities of sweets, cakes and other meals forbidden during Lent" - or Fat Thursday! Surely this is closer to most people's hearts than the gratuitous rose-culling and empty commercialism of yesterday ? Let's hear it for "belly worship"! Bon appetit :)
