So why exactly do they call it Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday for us non Cajuns? Mardi Gras is the day before the first day of Lent, otherwise known as Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the first of 40 days of watching your indulgences. For some, that is something such as drinking alcohol, while others …
