HAPPY FAT TUESDAY aka Mardi Gras to my loyal readers! Now in Canada, my mother and *sigh* brother's native land, they celebrate
Shrove Tuesday and/or PANCAKE TUESDAY on this day. Yes,
PANCAKES!!! Mom had always wondered why people stare at her in a befuddled manner when she called today "pancake tuesday"
- apparently the tradition is more of a U.K. and Commonwealth country thing. Besides eating pancakes, some people even participate in pancake races - a tradition where contestants run while carrying a frying pan complete with a pancake in it. At certain points along the course the contestant must flip the pancake successfully. I guarantee that this would be a race that I would lose overall; although I would have a personal victory of eating my pancake and NOT having to run.
In case you were wondering, YES, I did have begrudgingly only
part of a pancake for breakfast. Apparently that is all that mom and dad 2b could spare their loyal chihueagle. To watch a delightful little "pancake" video featuring my pal "S" and her sister click

It wouldn't be a proper "Phat Tuesday" post if I didn't include some Mardi Gras photos. I found these pictures of a Mardi Gras dog parade. I wonder if these dogs had to show their mammary glands to get beads?
After recovering from a splitting headache from attempting to turn back time Wallace persuaded C-spy to continue the search at another nearby castle - Hampton Court. Luckily, the dynamic duo had no problem entering the grounds thanks to their newfound Canadian friend and his handy Canadian passport.
Unfortunately Wallace and C-spy did not find my parents after going through the trouble of storming the castle. Wallace decided to, instead, take a trip to Greenwich, England. He felt that if he stood on the Prime Meridian and thought really hard - he could turn back time to before my parents disappeared.

As I write this post I bow down my head in defeat. Congratulations to Eli Manning and the N.Y. Giants - especially the defense - on a game well played. So much for a 19 - 0 season. I must now go and comfort my dad 2b with a large dose of cuteness. Woof.
Sorry, but I had to post about the new Patriots jerseys that my mom bought us to wear while rooting the New England Patriots! Oooh, that Tom Brady is dreamy! Pictured above is my *sigh* brother in his new jersey. I have to admit that I love the "bandwagon" it is rather comfy...GO PATS!
....GO PATS!...woof.
Once across the moat Wallace and C-spy had to put their "spidey" senses to work and find their way to the castle by navigating the numerous twists and turns of a historic maze. Once in the center of the maze they were brought to a central hub that had a secret passageway to the castle through a grotto.
